EMERGENCY ASSHAT OF THE QUARTER AWARD: $GOOG

I’ve had it with these cute technology companies. The energy conservers over at GOOG just shit the shower, with an impromptu earnings catastrophe, which inadvertently was released without top hat. For the love of bankrupt social media venture capitalists, these companies need to be reigned the fuck in. All of these internet companies are run by children. They’re small fools who play with billions of dollars, generally fucking up their investors along the way.

Granted, GOOG has been a long term winner, despite missing EPS by $1.62 with a “Pearl Harbor” style mid-day attack. But how many other asshat corporations have ruined people? Let’s run down the list: ZNGA, GRPN, FB, LOCK, JIVE, OPEN, BCOV, P, NFLX, AWAY, SFLY, ANGI. I could go on.

The new wave of technology is UN-INVESTABLE. Wait until the companies fire their founders and allow adults to manage them.

In case you were wondering, yes, GOOG is receiving an emergency Asshat of the Quarter award. Congrats.

    Just saw that, glad I wasn’t long, that is absolutely terrible. Traders waiting until end of day to close out trade before earnings got crushed.

    “But how many other asshat corporations have ruined people. Let’s run down the list: ZNGA, GRPN, FB, LOCK, JIVE, OPEN, BCOV, P, NFLX, AWAY, SFLY, ANGI. I could go on.” Unless I am sadly mistaken the Supreme Fly made several profitable trades in some of the aforementioned asshats, qualifying him for the legendary ‘chefs’ golden toque’ award.

    EPIC buying opportunity. I am in with more shares of GOOG as soon trading resumes.

    They also released a $249 Chromebook today. Google fucking owns.

    For those continuing with self-flagellation over OSG, this article should be interesting, if not revealing:

    Fat fingers galore… Google fat fingered the earnings released, the market gets fat fingered, the budget will get fat fingered…
    In fact, the only B not getting fat fingered is that B Candy Crowley

    There was an “itch” after the B but Candy ate it along with the whole candy factory.

    Does trading based on leaked earnings information everyone has access to publicly before official earnings constitute insider trading? Doubt it, but just saying.

    ” everyone has access to publicly ”

    means it is not insider info – dumbass

      obviously, but there were several who got that information before everyone else because it wasn’t given by official usual channels at the same time.

      Otherwise what’s to prevent the guy making a “mistake” and selling it the very second after that information is released?

        Just prior to the moment the purchase or sale is made, leak information when it’s not supposed to be leaked. “plausible deniability”. “oops, I shouldn’t have done that, but information is released now, so I might as well act on it”
        Or
        “Oops, I (the CEO) intentionally/accidentally bankrupted my company and just happened to leak that information early and subsequently buy as many puts as I could get my hands on while the news was available but before the news was widely distributed. Technically the information wasn’t “inside” information as others had access to it, but I was still able to take advantage of the temporary inefficiency and make a boatload before the market reacted”

        I would hang tough for awhile.
        Piper Jaffray and Citi are keeping their buy and outperform.
        As usually happens there will be a quick plunge (may have already happened) with late comers panicking and then a sharp turn up.
        That may be the time to get out.
