Earnings Next Week - The Four Horsemen

[OptionGuru]

• AAPL at $96.55.
  
• There is some pre-earnings FEAR in AAPL today. Down 0.81% with 30 minutes to market close.
  
• Can AAPL rally plus 10% after earnings? We will soon find out.

Bought a Jul29/Aug19 97.5 call calendar for a debit of $0.30 last week. I felt it was too cheap to pass by. I'm looking for...nothing.

I missed. I didn't expect up move to be that strong.

My slightly bullish position: Long calendar 8/5-7/29 99C @ 0.16
My bearish (somewhat) 7/29 93P/92P/89.5P +1/-1/-1 @ 0.02

If AAPL comes back down, my calendar might be okay.

Good job OG

IMO .......... FB is undervalued compared to GOOGL, I see a lot more people on Facebook than Google. My plan is to buy some FB weekly OTM calls on Wednesday. What does Google have that Facebook can't get?

• FB at $122.89.
• Bought 1 FB July 29 130.00 call at $0.95.

FB was strong after earnings but fizzled out today, I thought they were going to go to $135.00+ today. In lieu of AMZN and/or GOOGL calls I have decided to go with some QQQ calls.

• QQQ at $114.75
• Bought 5 QQQ July 29 115.50 calls at $0.21

EDIT: The FB July 29 130.00 call trade is still open.

Short GOOGL Jul29 740/805 strangle for $15.20 credit. I also have another slightly bearish position on GOOGL in the regular August expiry which is why my strangle is slightly skewed to the upside.

GOOGL after market went up $31+.

I too thought GOOGL would go down after earning thinking this time would be the same as the last earning. So wrong, that is why I am not managing OPM.

My strangle should still be a winner at the open tomorrow if it opens at around $800. If the ES remains weak overnight, hopefully it'll open $780-$790. Either way, I'm looking to fade the open a la FB. I'm not too fussed either way. GOOGL is my second largest holding (behind BRK) in my boring buy-and-hold equity portfolio.
