Good Thing I Don't Bet on Earnings

Yesterday, I was checking our accounts.  I noticed FSLY was up 200% from last year.  I decided to HODL instead of sell.   I thought it might benefit from AI like memory chips did.   I didn't want to miss out of tremendous gains like memory stocks have experience.   

Well, FSLY reported earning after hours and fell 22% 28% due disappointing results.  So much for my thesis.  I am still going to HODL.   However, I'm glad I don't buy options in anticipation of good or bad earnings results, since I tend to expect the opposite.

I still lost, but since I own shares, I can be a bag holder for a while longer and hoping my thesis is right in the longer term.
