Absolutely. I'm just saying there isn't much justification to assume it was a mere mistake.

Particularly given the trades that show up just after the report was released, but before a person could conceivably process them and initiate the relevant strategy.

That alone suggests gamesmanship, even if the "early" trader went earlier than he meant to.

Couldn't they be trading based on some natural language processing algorithm?


Could be. Are those sufficiently advanced that anyone would be confident-enough to wager amounts, based on their results, of the order at issue here?
