buy the rumor, sell the fact

English

Proverb

buy the rumor, sell the fact

  1. (business, stock market) One should purchase an asset based on positive speculation before an expected positive event, and then sell it once the event occurs for a profit, as the price often falls after the news breaks, because the anticipation has already elevated the asset price.
