most of the time, the share price will follow thru on big earnings moves - I have a little bit loaded on the weekly $97/96.5 bear puts for 5c

Quoting The Fool
{quote}well, you have lots of company. Most (>90%) stock pickers fail & lose money. We have been in a US stock market that is pretty much flat-lining - SnP ranging between roughly 1,900 and 2,100 for the last couple years - that's just a 10% range. Some big moves in there that were m/l impossible to predict. Hedge funds full of professional traders have been closing up shop at a record rate because they can't make money in this sideways market. Volatility is much easier to predict than direction. Options trading is about trading volatility. If you...
thefool. can you please explain what you used to know that NFLX will fall hard?
you were right, big drop today, but what study you used for your views?

I did not know, just saw the price run up steadily and figured it would take a really great earnings report to continue that. Often I have seen a hot stock that gets run up into earnings will fall hard after the ER, but anything can happen...

NFLX test result
buying out of the money put with a delta of of 30 before earning, made big return, even after the IV dropped.

So after you find a direction, based in what ever you use,buy the option with delta 30 to 35 and with over 4 month to expire.
you can take profits the next day or right the move until you see a reversal.

So next big winner could be WHR

I remember reading an article a while back about trading the IV on both calls & puts on individual stocks in the S&P500 when earnings was less than a month away. The trade would be both long a call and put option at the same strike price at the underlying price with the anticipation of IV increasing as earnings soon approached and then closing out (selling the options) a few days before earnings. The strategy was returning double to triple digit annual returns if memory serves me right.

most sector moves the same way,i guess that just trading the SPY save you from beeing trading too much of the same market.
