Why a Microsoft dip isn't automatically a buy
Microsoft down 5–10% after earnings looks like a gift. Flow's warning: a lower price doesn't automatically mean more value — sometimes the market is warning you before the problems are obvious.
A Microsoft drop after earnings can look exactly like a buying opportunity — but a lower price doesn't automatically mean more value. Before you "buy the dip," Flow says to ask why the stock is falling: sometimes the market is just overreacting, and other times it's "warning you before the problems become obvious."
A cheaper price isn't automatically more value
The reflex when Microsoft falls 5%, 7%, or 10% after earnings is to scream "buy the dip." Flow's point: most people "never stop to ask, why is the stock failing?" A lower price is not the same as more value — the drop can be an overreaction, or an early warning. You have to know which before you buy.
