>As this thread tends to be a flipping or short-term trading thread, i think the prevailing philosophy is to not hold thru earnings. Larry, Makes sense. So how would one go about determining the optimal time periods to be out of the market to avoid negative earnings reports? On the one hand, each day out of the market could mean making no money. On the other hand, being out of the market at potentially treacherous reporting times can minimize losses. As a short-term trader, I'm trying to pinpoint the most appropriate times to be out of the market relative to the earnings reporting period. Do you happen to have any specific dates in mind? Thanks, Ice
