More on holding through earnings... If you had bought every earnings play I called and NOT held through earnings you would have made at least 5% and up to 25% on each play.. don't glamorize holding through earnings. I do mention in advance those that I hold through earnings, but I always qualify the hold with a disclaimer. When you are more experienced and can really familiarize yourself with historical price patterns of these stocks you can begin to hold through earnings. (I've been doing this for 39 months so far) and I hold about 20-25% of the stocks through earnings. I lost on only one hold since December 1998 and that was TRL, with 200 shares, but I lost on 'potential' plays that I did not hold. I have no regrets because having good risk tolerance and money management techniques is just as important as profits from trades.
