    Earnings Plays?

    Perfect example of why earnings are risky. LMT is DOWN $1.48 on an announcement that net income is up and outlook is lifted. Argghh.

    Earnings Plays?

    Why would you make this assumption? IV and HV are something I look at and factor into my trades. I've never been higher than a 40% IV in any of my earnings plays except on BUPS when the higher the better. I prefer to hone my trading plan based on my own experiences not someone else's.

    Earnings Plays?

    I have always tried to steer clear of entering or holding options through an earnings announcement. BUT, lately I've tried a few strategies and I'm 50%. I did a a bull put spread on CECO and exited with a $700 profit and did a straddle on RIMM and exited with a $600 loss. These were 3-4 day...
