Hindsight is always 20/20, isn’t it? Just take a look at Microsoft:
Even a child could see it, right? There was gap after April 8th, and, over four months later, it was almost perfectly filled. That was, of course, the ideal time to short the bejesus out of Bill Gates’ company. Gotta love those gaps, eh?
