No, it is NOT wise to hold through an earnings report. Especially if the stock has run up previously. If you have enough exerience and who knows what is really enough you get a feel for the companies and you study their technical patterns through earnings reports. But for tech stocks it is hard. The higher the beta and the more volatile the worse it is. The big capitalization techs are good because the anticipation before earnings is quite enough (note: VSIO, VRTS, RMFD, CPQ, TLAB,) Some triple digit and double digit earners (50% +) your chances improve, coming back from a negative quarter, they improve even more, but its the stocks that fall between like AMD, IDTC where you run into trouble.
