Are you able to project how the market will react to earnings releases for your company? I’m on our blackout list but I honestly never know how the stock will respond even with “inside” information.

Nope, never on earnings. Seems like I'm always surprised by the movement and when I get movement right, I'm still surprised by the magnitude.

No it never makes sense to me. Analysts talk to CFO during the quarter. Analysts also subscribe to different analytics services for the industry so they have a pulse of what’s going on. I find it most interesting how they sell the story on the calls versus knowing internal story.

When I did consulting, my public clients usually didn't move the needle on earnings much unless it was a big surprise announcement. The thing is management is always adjusting earnings targets, the last thing they want is for the street to be surprised.
Over the long haul, I definitely could have benefited from trading the stock. Insider trading is illegal for a reason, it works.
