Why wait so long and then sell just before Creaf reports earnings for what is traditionally their strongest quarter

GB, I did $4000 today on day-trading alone. (Wild day! Wish they were all like this.) Although my CREAF was in the Pension account, I realized that there are other ways to make it grow.

I keep watching good stocks like Home Depot, GAP Stores, Safeway, etc. make a steady march upward and finally realized the objective of investing is NOT to be "right" at any cost, but to make money with a good risk-reward ratio. Take a look at the following chart (1 year):
techstocks.com Is this a way to make a living?

I have also learned that earnings data usually leaks out and is reflected in the stock. Jenna has a whole trading philosophy based on it: buy good companies a few weeks before earnings and capture the run-up to earnings. CREAF is approaching earnings and the stock is STILL leaking like an old ship. No doubt, if they really surprise Wall Street, they will be rewarded with 3 or 4 points. Then will come the inevitable slide. What can they offer for the future? More DVD? Better sound?

I'll probably kick myself when CREAF reports $15.00/share earnings and a cure for cancer on the 25th...
