TIP: Take your 'ex' earnings play and run them through a database that always updates news.. So if news comes out for your particular company you can see it each evening as you routinely check your database. I have nice little icon 'news' flag that pop up whenever there is news. It's important especially for earnngs plays because they usually are 'in the news' more frequently and enjoy higher price moves.
