    Beware! Earnings on 2/11. Here's the chart history with earnings reactions over the past year.

    Even though the ascending triangle is a bit too slender for my taste, I am looking for a nice pop above $110.

    Dipped after last Q's beat-and-raise.
    Looking for another beat-and-raise, and will be shocked if it dips again. This company is just about profitable already.

    I like this company. If it pulls back on earnings and the growth rate doesn't slow significantly, I probably will get back in :biggrin:

    I thought you were in this, Emmett. When/why did you sell?

    Enie, meanie, minie, mo. I hate playing earnings. I never know what to do. I stay in, it tanks. I sell (like SLQT on Monday), it gaps up. The sensible thing to do would be to sell half of my position, wouldn't it? I bought it at $110 last week. Worst case is a gap-down to $105 maybe?

    Got out at 113.60 after hours, which undercut the day's low.
    They are acquiring 2 companies so that did it: Sqreen (sounds like a horrible 90's nu metal band) and Timber Technologies.
    Got out because now it is just going sideways for 4 months.

    I got out of DDOG after the ER; I did something I should have done earlier and looked at its relative performance vs. QQQ. I saw that it is essentially just moving along with QQQ for nearly a year, and thought that wasn't very good for a medium (~$25 billion cap) growth stock.

    See if it can finally start outperforming QQQ soon.

    A lot of these high growth ARK-type stocks took huge hits; I still like DDOG. Those other stocks are down, and it has been all downhill, since February 2021. But DDOG just pulled back to the February 2021 top, and is bouncing again.

    Datadog shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q4 EPS and sales results and issued Q1 and FY22 sales guidance above estimates.
