What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorJust in: BBN market data shows Meta dropping four point one percent in thirteen minutes after hours. The cause is not yet clear.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorJoining us via satellite is Preston Vandermeer-Hogg, managing partner at Obvious Insights Group, who bills four thousand dollars an hour. Preston, what happened?
Preston Vandermeer-HoggChip, our proprietary analysis shows the stock went down. Sellers outnumbered buyers. That framework cost a client nine hundred thousand dollars last spring.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat sounds like a drive-through menu with a really big invoice. Why did sellers show up?
Preston Vandermeer-HoggGreat question. Our model suggests people sold because they wanted to sell. We call it Desire-Driven Liquidation. Trademark pending, retainer required.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorPreston, the data doesn't say why Meta moved. Do you actually know the cause, or just the price?
Preston Vandermeer-HoggChip, knowing is a legacy concept. We deliver confidence. Last week I told a bank its Tuesday was happening on a Tuesday.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWow, a Tuesday on a Tuesday! I'd pay four thousand dollars for that, if I had four thousand dollars and a Tuesday.
Preston Vandermeer-HoggYou'd get a slide deck with arrows. One arrow points down. The other points at my invoice. Both arrows are load-bearing.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLevel with me. What did you actually do this afternoon besides watch the stock fall on a screen?
Preston Vandermeer-HoggI ate a very expensive sandwich while billing you for the sandwich. The mustard alone had a steering committee.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorPreston Vandermeer-Hogg, folks. Meta is down four point one percent and the only certain thing is the invoice. We'll leave it there!
