Long John, I was wondering about developing a strategy for 'shorting' or puts on stocks right after earnings come out. Have you developed such a strategy. I've seen predictable patterns in stocks like NKE, PAYX, and MWD but I never moved on this before. Of course they would have to be very short term 'puts' or shorts because these stocks will invariably rise in the end. Then my second question would be how about stocks that I find that are looking for "lower estimates" much lower than last quarter.. Couldn't we utilize those for something. I know it would be only 10% of our trades but could provide the full spectrum for the earnings plays. I also find that when my technical indicators give me a 'sell' signal I do nothing but sell, but what about going short for example, I saw KLAC losing steam but did nothing but close the trade. With earnings plays I think it would work well because ultimately we know the stock is sound (i.e NKE, PAYX) and we can't get burnt whereas a stock like CUST the 'bottom' could be very, very low indeed.
