Samples: marketgems.com. has all the newsletters since April. Thus far the newsletter comes together with the daily watch lists. But that will change next earnings season. I'd say in a few words that the newsletter contains 'fundmentally' sound stocks about to report earnings. The combination of 'fundamentally" sound + impending earnings report = a stock expected to make a positive move 'in anticipation' of the report. DELL is a good example today of a stock starting to move in anticipation 4 days before the actual report. STRX, BKE,FOSL,PSUN,IFCI are more examples. Sometimes the trend is broken by market climate and you might decide you are better off taking the profit and moving on. In some cases holding through earnings might give an additional bounce, but that is usually reserved for stocks that are less 'volatile', in safer sectors, and have not run up before earnings or are too close to their 52 week high. Some stocks don't move up like PMRY a 'possible' for today.It did not move up on anticipation and after the close it missed estimates by 1 cent. Some others just stagnate as well, but about 75% of them move nicely. The reason I hot 'hooked' on them myself was that it was easier to trade a stock that is moving with the momentum caused by an impending earnings report. You don't have to be a contrarian you just follow the trend. The volatility is higher and you have more chance of a real 'trend' underway. The trend can be a full day or a week but it's usually longer and stronger than for an ordinary daytrade on the same stock. Lately the 'beaten down' stocks have been doing well also even though their earnings have been revised downwards simply because they have 'beaten' the lowered estimates.
