2. I remember when I saw the movie,
"Stargate," for the first time.
3. I read a review when it came out,
before I saw it.
4. The review said it sucked, so when I
went to see it, I expected a crappy
movie.
5. But it turned out to be a cult favorite
with tons of spin offs.
6. Now, it certainly wasn't a GREAT
movie. But it was better than I
expected.
7. When a company reports it's quarterly
or yearly earnings, it's the same
situation.
8. The stock price goes up or down not
on the ABSOLUTE earnings (or more
technically, earnings per share or EPS)
but whether or not the EPS is BETTER
or WORSE than expectations.
9. A company that reports EPS of $.10
when everybody only expected $.05
will generally shoot through the roof.
10. Where a company that reports $1.25
when everybody was expecting $1.50,
the stock will tank.
11. Even in the stereotypical story of a
young, in experienced person with
HUGE dreams, an older, more
experienced person will tell them it's
simply not possible.
