    Shopify reported earnings this A.M.
    Within 2 minutes four different taglines hit the wires.
    1) Shopify reports 4Q loss
    2)Shopify Beats by .02
    3)Shopify poised for all-time high.
    4)Shopify disappoints.

    I guess this is the gamers doing their gaming on the AI algy's huh?

    Pics or it didn't happen @vanzandt ! ;)

    The only one I don't understand is 4)... Unless there was something to be disappointed about in guidance?

    You shouldn't trade on 1) and 3) since 1) doesn't say anything regarding expected result. And 3) is just analysts banter... same with 4).
    2) is the important line......

    From my simple observations, even if the actual vs. expected numbers are better, its often small in comparison to when they get around to talking about forward guidance. So although number 2 might be important, the party often ends quickly when the next part of the report comes in.
