Earnings today 1/28/16
#Earnings, here are the stocks to consider today…
I consider these the “rock stars,” symbols that have worked before and typically have juicy OTM options:
AMZN, EA
Also to look at, these have weeklys and high volume, but premium may be lower:
AAL, ABBV, AMGN, CVX, MA, MSFT, PSX, SWKS, WDC
Earnings results
#Earnings – FB condor call side is fully breached due to a stellar report and a huge overnight pop. I plan to sell half of my long calls at the open, giving me a short stock cost basis above 104.00. I will wait and see with the other half.
BABA and CTXS look good. NOW (for the first time) looks troublesome… need to give it time for a bounce. VLO looks flat.
