There is nothing wrong with following the rule...."Never risk more than profits through earnings"....unless of course you are a gambler. If you made 100% profits on a stock run-up like ELNT prior to earnings and wanted to hold 50% (i.e. the profits) through earnings that's about as far as I will normally go - unless I am convinced a stock is so beaten down that it would probably move up on a poor report, but that is rare. It's fun when you are right, but it's also an unnecessary risk.
