First, the numbers:
- Revenue: $1.39 billion, up 26% year-over-year
- 51% of customers now use six-plus modules

Go-fast traders know that retail investors still think great earnings mean it’s time to buy so they use that incoming volume to make a quick exit. Then, they “run the trailing stops” many momentum investors and traders use because they think those things will protect ‘em.
It’s a double whammy for the unsuspecting – but a potential home run for those who know how the game is really played. And, now YOU do.
Let the go-fast crew “run the stops” and shake the weak money out. Then make your move. Longer term, the company is in a super position, which means that smart investors have the upper hand. They almost always do…but that’s a story for another time.
