Introduction Compact

This subject will analyze plays related to various earnings events. Usually simple options plays will be used, buy calls/buy puts. However; it is not bound to complex option strategies or outright stock plays.

Anyone welcome according to the following guidelines.

1. Paper trades OK. Hit bid for sells and ask for buys.

2. Real trades OK. Actual buy and sell price posted.

3. Helpful to see exiting positions. If you wouldn't mind posting the gain or loss, audience would find it useful for learning.

4. TA and FA analysis welcome. If you made decision on: gambling, technical anlysis, fundamental analysis, or any combination there-of it is welcome here.

It is also likely that I will use this place as a running notepad for various options plays that were or were not traded. Should prove to be a useful spot to look back on over time for historical data.
