Walter.. NSOL through earnings. I have only a small position but will add to it if I see any surge in volume or channel breakout. I'm tending to hold certain stocks through earnings lately. Mostly they are not in the technology sector but in sectors like medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, housing, financial service, computer software, Internet, airlines... and they are usually smallish (10 calls) options positions so I don't risk losing more than the (3-4k) that the option cost. The companies I swing trade and don't hold through earnings are stock positions (i.e. AVEI, HBOC, ELNK, CCL). MSPG is another one I'm probably going to hold through earnings. The only question about MSPG is that the increases are so dramatic, and the price is the stock is so high, that I tend to want to cash in the position at the end of the trading day. As I mentioned before I thought the airlines would have a small retreat come back strongly. I think this is transpiring now.
