Holding through earnings is very risky, probably the most risky thing you could do. If you are not really experienced you will ge burnt. You have to measure overbought/oversold, possibilities that there might be irregularities in the report (CPQ or PDX) just a while ago. You must be willing to chance lossing 30% of your investment the next morning. If you don't mind then hold through earnings. I can not give anyone pointers in holding through earnings. The most I'll do is if you ask I'll answer but I don't encourage that strategy. Sure I hold through earnings about 30% of the time, but I've been trading the same stocks for 12 quarters and I'm pretty familiar with their price patterns after earnings, but there are always surprises. For example Yes I did hold ISSX through earnings but I did not hold CDWC through earnings.. or NEON, nor do I own POWI..
