RE:Results I'm an optimistic and I'm betting on earnings release after Friday close. I started adding to my position again precisely because it hasn't been released yet
You can focus on showing the results instead of hype, but there are ways to make any results look better. If it truly is blowout earnings then you're saving that to the end of the year so YTD performance for 2024 can appear much "higher". In contrast, if they're terrible or boring earnings, release it sooner so they're priced in before the year rolls over
heck these are just my guesses of course but I definitely put money where my mouth is this week, wish I could put even more money for cheap but everyone's holding their shares pretty tight in this range haha
