RE:RE:How this surge compare to ?While I agree that this is not the time to sell shares. I believe that holding on throughout the year is going to deliver substantial returns and so why try to play the market in and out and risk missing out.
I also agree that the shareholders meeting will reveal very strong Q1 performance. However, based on past where we basically knew good results were coming, I strongly believe that the one time when we will not see strong stock price gains is immediately after the release of numbers.
Without fail, when there is a good quarter, the stock price will rise in the week before the announcement and on the day of the announcement and the subsequent few days, the stock will only go down with higher than normal trading volume. After trading volume normalizes (generally about a week later) the stock will slowly start to recover and a week after that, we see good gains.
I say this as I have been holding long for a very long time (I'm up about 140% presently) and so I watch the price constantly. It seems to me like insiders have the numbers in advance and so that is why the price goes up (or down) before numbers are released. The release date is the trigger date for them to cash out. That is why I hold long and will continue to do so until my target price is reached (which will likely happen on a random no-news day, rather than after an earnings release).
I would love to be proved wrong and see the stock price react after the release of earnings, but it has not been happening on the last five years or so that I have been owning BBD.
