A month before? Damn. I thought 2 weeks was sweet spot.

You hold through earnings tho? :picard:

Anywhere from a month to 3 days before earnings report. Then I sell at earnings or the day before earnings or the day after. I been doing it so long I kind of know how it goes with certain companies. I ride the same companies over and over again.

For example with fedex I wait till the day after earnings to sell...since the stock is usually at its highest on a 5 day period. For big lots I sell the day before earnings because it usually drops after the earnings report. For say dollar general I sell the day of earnings because its at the highest at the opening bell. I just keep repeating the process over and over again since like late april and early may.

Made off like a dirty b*stard with zoom, pelaton, dollar general, fedex, wayfair and apple (cause of stock split) in the last 5 months doing this.

This isn't a fool proof plan but cause of covid resetting the market its made an easy come up for companies that are making record profits cause of covid.

I think I may incorporate this strategy

Was just reading about the Google thing. Even if they get broken up, I'm still gonna use their products. This only hurts the consumer and not the company. The Google owners already have billions. They won't be suffering if parts of their company are broken up. But this will have an effect on its customers. Google is built on convenience just like other tech companies. They make things simpler for us. I think the article was mentioning their monopoly on search but aren't there other engines like bing and Yahoo? Not Google's fault that those just aren't good enough. Google has an entire ecosystem that users are used to. The ability to have all their components working together is convenient for the user. Removing or changing something hurts the user more. For example, they used to have this app called Inbox that was way better than gmail but they got rid of it and my email experience hasn't been the same since. Now imagine if any of their other products gets broken up and you're forced to use something new that's not as good. Google still making millions, and you get inconvenienced. Sure there can be competition but what are they gonna do if people keep using Google instead? Even if Google gets broken up into 20 different parts, I'm still gonna use their products as long as they're integrated together and are able to work with each other for my convenience. The same should be said for any other big tech company. We the ones using the products anyways. Government run by mostly old people, some of whom got elected before Google and all these other tech companies got started so they not used to all this tech and the capabilities of it. But the younger generation is the one that mostly uses it. Maybe they should focus more on things like the rising cost of healthcare and improving environmental issues instead. But watch one of these tech companies do something about that before the government does.

Remember the stock market is largely noise.

Almost like a game of telephone.

You gotta learn to drawn out the bs, and there's a lot of it. People make careers off of noise( see CNBC).

I really just watch CNBC regularly to keep my ear to the street, but I almost never take their picks into consideration. :mjlol:

Yep all they good for is telling me if the dow is up or down or some little known company.

I remember telling folks to watch them trump covid press conferences. Damn near every time that clown mentioned a company helping with covid (machines, testing, ventilators) they got a stock bump.

I would watch his press conferences and write down all the companies he mentioned. Do my research and invest in thhe ones I thought I could make some bread off of. Made a few dollars out of it too.

As far as the Google thing, didn't they already get broken up years ago? Hence the reason they're known as alphabet these days?
