I totally agree with you on that.. just look at the difference of SLR, JBL, MTNT before earnings and then look at ORCL. but as I mentioned the larger the stock (or the most popular) the further out you have to make the earnings play. CMGI is another great example.. it was doing the YHOO limbo.. how low can you go.. but I got earnings plays out of both of them. You can make money off these plays but you just have to time them well. Its not difficult because you have to imagine a circle with rings the outermost ring (the circumference) is about 1 1/2 weeks away and then up to 3 days for the average ring near the core .. (3-4 days being about average for most stocks) The core (the actual earnings report date) reserved for stocks like HAZ and LE (closed at high of the day) or others that respond right after the report or the night before. the larger caps you watch the circumference and the small itty biddy ones you play close to the core of this circle.
