[Derby City Daily logo]( [Derby City Daily logo]( January 5, 2024 135% in Four Days: This Win Is What Earnings Season Is All About By Andy Swan Editor’s Note: Thank you to all those who’ve already claimed a seat for next week’s 2024 earnings kickoff event – the response has been incredible. We want to see ALL our Derby City Daily readers turn out for this thing – so if you haven’t signed up yet, [go here now to RSVP](. With a new earnings season just days away, we’ve been going all-in on earnings this week – introducing you to [investing icons]( issuing a [refresher course]( on what makes this time of year so powerful, and [pulling back the curtain]( on our proprietary earnings momentum indicator. Today, we’ll put it all together and revisit our biggest win from the last quarter – a hand-picked earnings trade that resulted in a 135% profit in less than five days... and a perfect example of the LikeFolio “edge” in action. Check it out below – and don’t forget to sign up for next week’s earnings kickoff event [right here](. I’ve been rocking “The Crocs Guy” nickname for years now. Not just because I wore my favorite pair of “ugly” dad shoes every time I was speaking on stage for the better part of a year… though that did help the moniker stick. The real reason I came to be known as “The Crocs Guy” is because here at LikeFolio, we've been pounding the table on Crocs (CROX) since shares were trading under $13 apiece... well before the stock’s meteoric rise to over $180. With LikeFolio’s direct line to Main Street, we could see Crocs transforming from clunky “dad” shoe to hip teen staple in real time – alerting our followers to buy CROX long before the Wall Street pros could see and position trades of their own. So, yeah. I rocked “The Crocs Guy” tag. And I still will. Because boy, did we hit another bullseye on CROX recently – delivering a 135% win in just four days for our Earnings Season Pass subscribers. And with a move the rest of the market never even saw coming... Our data signaled that a bearish surprise was in the offing for our beloved CROX that week. And after playing this stock to the upside countless times, we pounced on a bearish trade that paid off massively. This is the kind of opportunity we live for at LikeFolio: When the data is screaming, personal experiences line up, and the stock looks ripe for disruption. A perfect example of the LikeFolio “edge” in action. Take a look... ⏰ Time Is Running Out: Secure your spot at The AI Earnings Predictor Summit now [by clicking here](. Our Secret to Nailing CROX One chart in particular was sending off the loudest signal telling us CROX was in trouble. Take a look below, and you’ll see what I mean: That chart compares web traffic growth on a year-over-year basis for our “ugly” shoe contenders and shows our beloved CROX lagging behind peers... and not just by a little bit. Web traffic was slowing down in a big way as the footwear king was knocked off its comfy shoe throne by Deckers Outdoor Corp. (DECK). Deckers owns today’s trendy favorites Hoka and UGG and has seen its web visits gain by 34% year over year, while Crocs has declined by 29% over the same period. In addition, Consumer Happiness levels had taken a plunge to 66% positive – four points lower year over year and 12 points lower from highs achieved earlier in 2023. The nail in the coffin heading into earnings was the fact that the rest of the market did NOT see this coming. Expectations were high, actually, with headlines looking like this heading into its November 2 earnings call: As traders, we were drooling. And our Earnings Season Pass subscribers got to play along for a 135% profit in just four days. But here’s where the learning comes in. CROX wasn’t our only big win – we added a handful of other feathers to our cap last earnings season, with hand-picked trade recommendations like: ✓ [Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS): +80% in 24 hours]( ✓ Dollar Tree (DLTR): +86% in two days ✓ Stitch Fix (SFIX): +23% in three days For each of these big earnings wins, there are a couple of common threads: ✓ Each of these companies were majorly outperforming or underperforming peers. ✓ Happiness levels were extreme – whether high or low. ✓ And LikeFolio data contrasted with market expectations. These three factors created a perfect storm for investors – and massive gains for our Earnings Season Pass subscribers. [Another earnings season is just days away](.
