lol, I'll give you my answer tomorrow morning. I'd be a fool to talk before the actual earnings are reported.

I bought 5 AZO Mar. 155 calls at $2.25 for ($1,139.95). I'm not using a lot of capital here but who knows right. Ben

Yeah, money in my pockets from those stingy investors that didn't want to sell higher. I sold at $9.50 and got a net gain of $3,810.10. This trade is unbelievable. Can't believe the profits. I hope everyone is doing the same today too right? Oh and the gains have added up, I'm showing a gain...

I bought 6 DECK March 50 puts at $3.10 today for earnings costing me ($1,874.95). Not a lot of capital at work here as I'm cautious on this trade. Ben

Alright, I sold FLR calls earlier at $2.75. As for FLS I just sold minutes or so ago at $5.80. My gains on FLR was $970.10, and my gain on FLS was $2,130.10. My overall gains are now at $23,561.75 and my account is now at $35,561.75. Whoa, I'm sitting here and I almost can't believe the...

That's fine just pm me. You might want to go more into details on the trade you explained on your post too, such as comparing the differences. I thought straight calls would give you the most benefit, but it sounds like you feel butterflies are a better reward. That is interesting. Ben

Yeah it was pretty crazy. I think you talked about FLR before, but that is one of my trades today. I bought 8 FLR calls at $1.50 and 6 FLS calls at $2.20. Both reported earnings and are flying in post market trades. I'll update tomorrow.

Sold the other 5 FSLR calls at $0.40 and the loss on this trade was ($1,244.90). I'll take that loss any day lol. It could have been closer to a $2,000 loss had I not sold 1/2 earlier. Ben

I closed 5 FSLR calls today at $4.40, but it seems I didn't close enought as FSLR is down after hours. Oh well. You win some and you lose some. Ben

Just plain on call or put strategy here too. I use about 5-10% per trade and usually get out the morning after earnings are reported.

Yeah, I'm still holding FSLR calls, but sold CRDN puts at $3.40 this morning already. My gain on that trade was $870. Not bad at all in a day's work.

I've decided to take advantage of today's drop in the market. I bought 10 FSLR March 160 calls at $3.40 for ($3,415). I also bought 10 CRDN March 20 puts at $2.50 for ($2,515). So I have about $6,000 in play for the next 2-3 days. We'll see what happens from here. Ben

Expand a little like what type of option strategy did you use? I suspect you probably tried a basic straddle or strangle. You know, many option traders misunderstand the power of technical analysis and more intense research on the underlying stock. A have met a lot of option trader talking...

Sorry, I've been sick, caught strep.....I've made 3 trades last week. Bought 10 HPQ Feb. 35 calls at $1.40, bought 10 PCLN Feb. 75 calls at $0.80, and bought 10 BUCY Feb. 12.5 calls at $1.30. I sold PCLN calls at $6, HPQ expired worthless, and sold BUCY calls at $2.00. Overall, took a loss...

Alright, I'm back to all cash after this morning. Looking good. I closed 10 ENER at 1.75 for a loss of ($480). I also closed those 8 PCLN calls I bought at $2.45. I closed them for $5.15 and my gains are $2,310.10. My account is now at $28,409.20. My gains are $16,409.20. That's right, I'm...

Thanks, not sure if I posted this, but I bought 10 ENER Feb. 25 calls at $2.20 yesterday for ($2,215). This might be a bit higher on the risk side, but I think I have enough gains to risk this amount. Ben

Well, a bittersweet day for me. I was able to get out of DLB at $5.20 but closed CNQR at $0.30. My gain on DLB was $1,495.10 and the loss on CNQR was ($854.90). Those PCLN calls are making money now lol. Overall, My total close gains are now at $14,579.10. My advice is when you first fail...

For today, I've decided on DLB calls first. I bought 5 DLB Feb 25 calls at $2.15 for ($1,089.95). I also bought 5 CNQR Feb. 25 calls at $1.95 for a cost of ($989.95). I'm using about $2,000 so it shouldn't be much of a loss as my gains over $13,000 should cover that. I can't believe those...

Looks like the good news is taking it on today for MYGN. I did close my calls at $7.40. With that buy price at $2.60, you got it, I made a killing. My gain on this trade is $4,785.00. I still have PCLN calls for now, but my closed trades are showing gains of $13,938.90. Hopefully, no one was...

Closed those 8 QCOM calls at $1.35 for a loss of ($1,029.90). That lowers my gain to $9,153.90. I bought 10 MYGN Feb. 75 calls at $2.60. Looking for MYGN to rally tomorrow....I might be gambling a bit here as my risk is a bit high, but I'll take my chances. Any confirmation that this trade...
