*did not report yet but stock was good for a good run
** exact data are in my notes, but to cumbersome to post...
Conclusions: plays for earnings can be VERY lucrative if you do your homework.. My biggest frustration was not having the correct dates of reporting and missing some good plays... Next earnings I will call the companies one by one that are on my list to confirm dates, and keep running files on the trading patterns of these companies at least 2 weeks before earnings. |
