One of the classic market adages is \u201cbuy the rumor, sell the news.\u201d  As with many time-tested adages of this type, there is some real logic behind the idea.  Markets are discounting mechanisms.  The current price of a stock (or any other financial instrument) should reflect the market\u2019s best current estimate of the all the factors that might influence the present value of that security.  As expectations ratchet higher, so should a stock price \u2013 and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quite often there are events that become widely anticipated by investors.  It can be a positive earnings report, a new product launch, or something broadly helpful to an industry.  As more investors become aware of that potential development, the price of the stock moves to reflect their enthusiasm.  Yet it is common for momentum traders to take the lead, which can cause prices to move simply because they are moving.  When that happens, the price can meet or overshoot the incremental value of the anticipated event.  In that situation, fresh buyers are required to push the stock even higher.  If those buyers are already in the stock, or unwilling to bid it up further, traders become impatient and the price dips \u2013 even if the anticipated news is truly positive.  Hence the logic behind \u201cbuy the rumor, sell the news.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet when market enthusiasm reigns, that time-tested adage can fail.  We have seen some significant examples of well-anticipated good news becoming yet another reason for buying over the past few days.  Recent earnings reports from Netflix (NFLX) and Tesla (TSLA) are demonstrating \u201cbuy the rumor, buy the news\u201d this morning.  In the case of NFLX, we had seen the stock rise over 10% in the month leading up to its earnings release.  That seemed enthusiastic, but reasonable.  Overall market sentiment improved over that time period, and investors began accounting for the global success of the show Squid Game.  Thus it wasn\u2019t a huge surprise to see NFLX sink about 2% the next day despite reporting better than expected earnings.  There was a copious amount of good news priced in and the company reduced expectations for next quarter.   Today, however, the stock has recouped its minor losses and is trading higher.  Enthusiastic markets have a way of improving even upon well-anticipated news and reduced expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something similar can be said for TSLA, though in its case the post-earnings selloff was finished about a minute after the market opened.  The company reported pro forma[i] earnings of $1.86 versus an expectation of $1.67.  After a 35% run-up over the past 3 months, it would have been reasonable for TSLA shares to experience some profit-taking even after a better-than-expected result.  But that fails to account for the fact that some of that run-up was tied to the increasing value of TSLA\u2019s bitcoin holdings and the rampant enthusiasm of its most avid supporters.  After a brief 2-3% fall in overnight trading, the stock is now about 3% higher and flirting with the $900 level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of bitcoin, that proved to be another \u201cbuy the rumor, buy the news\u201d event.  The cryptocurrency rallied nearly 50% in two weeks, boosted by enthusiasm for the upcoming launch of the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO), the first ETF linked to bitcoin futures.  That seemed like a classic setup for a buy the rumor, sell the news event.  It is something we alluded to earlier this week<\/a>, but fortunately we sidestepped the question.  It turned out that the most enthusiastic anticipation for BITO was met and exceed in its first two sessions.   The crypto rallied roughly a further 10% to new all-time highs before giving back about half those gains today.  It appears like a bit of normal profit-taking, and maybe a delayed \u201csell the news\u201d effect, but bitcoin is still doing a remarkable job of holding its gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite these examples, I still believe that \u201cbuy the rumor, sell the news\u201d is still quite valid.  It is time-tested and logical.  But during buoyant markets, and with stocks or other products that have an enthusiastic, or even cultish investor base, the opposite can be true.  Maybe all news is good news for a certain group of investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[i]  Pro forma earnings are used by many tech companies in lieu of GAAP earnings, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  The term \u201cpro forma\u201d literally means \u201cdone or produced as a matter of form<\/a>\u201d, though many stock watchers consider the term to mean \u201cwhatever we say they are, ignoring inconvenient expenses.\u201d   TSLA\u2019s 3Q GAAP earnings were $1.476, which is consistent with the usual $0.40-$0.50 differential below its pro forma earnings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
