$BB +22.10% — what the base rate says

$BB +22.10% — what the base rate says

The retail herd is currently treating Micron ($MU) like the second coming of the printing press after its massive $41.5B revenue report. High-fives all around the semiconductor boards. But look under the hood. BlackBerry ($BB) is also riding a 22% earnings gap, and yet historical data paints a much colder picture. On the other side of the tape, Jefferies ($JEF) is slipping 10% after its own report, demonstrating what happens when reality fails to meet the whisper numbers. When tech names gap up 15% or more on earnings, they close red 52% of the time over 337 historical instances. Momentum is a seductive drug, but the math doesn't care about your hype.

53% of these massive gaps end up fading. That is the statistical tax on chasing.
