ex. Goldman Sachs predicts Apple will have $25m sales Q2 2017 at the beginning and some variance of the stock price is based on that public prediction.

If you have finer granularity like Apple is likely already at 10m only a quarter through Q2 then you can invest and expect the Q2 prediction to be exceeded. Slice thinner and thinner until you get to hourly as the market adjusts to finer granularity predictions from companies buying Foursquare data.

This is a great example, it appears Foursquare did this previously to predict iPhone Sales.
