Anyone else notice that prior to the ?Watch release that most estimates of smartwatches sold in 2014, from ALL vendors was approximately 1 million units. Now that the ?Watch is real, shipping and crushing the competition, the estimated number of 2014 smartphone sales keeps rising.
Apple reports record numbers, business firing on all cylinders, and the stock takes a dip. The usual, in other words. Only question is how fast it bounces back. I'd think pretty fast.
Buy on the rumors, sell on the news is a pretty common stock play. Investors pile in before an announcement driving the price up, once the announcement is made a majority of the time the stock price will drop because the numbers/product doesn't meet the rumor mill hype or in some very rare cases the announcement will blow people out of the water and the stock price will go up.
You just need to use this process to your advantage. Sell around the conference call and buy the next day for 7-8% below the price you sold for hours prior.

If that is the case, why wait for the announcement? Just agree to a time. Everyone sell! Stock goes down and you pick up some more shares for the same money.

But that's exactly what's happening!
Stock ALWAYS drops immediately after Apple's quarterly financial report. That's the agreed time to sell!

Because you sit there diligently watching your trading software update every second to try to maximize your potential profit. If I picked a time like 3pm randomly there could be a1-2% or more difference in either direction then 3:05pm depending on the call. It doesn't make sense to just pick a random time if you are going through the process.
Just think it's hard enough getting a group of 6 people to agree on a restaurant for dinner much less tens of thousands of people to coordinate a stock sell off. Not to mention that setting a time changes the entire dynamic of the process people might be hesitant to buy close to the "agreed" time resulting in lower rises
Why give the cloners and shameless imitators a helping hand by revealing the breakdown of watch sales in their various categories and price points?
Cloners are gonna clone anyway, so keep 'em guessing and doing their traditional wasteful, loss-inducing practice of "throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks" and "race to the bottom"...

That's nice. This is spin. As an investor, I want real numbers.
Then stop multiplying everything by the square root of negative one.

Seems legit.
