Earnings week 7/20

Up or down? 

1. SNAP

2. IRBT

3. CMG

4. TSLA

5. SAM

Can I ask why you are asking?  Do you have them now?  Plan on getting them?  Plan on making a play on them?

Which books offers these type of plays? 

I mean are you planning to anticipate a certain earning report by buying the stocks or are you just wanting to know if they are good stocks to buy?

You can short it if you think it will have a bad report.  You can get the stock options.  There are things you can do if you thought you knew ahead of time the direction the stock was going to move. 

Or maybe you are just wanting to know if you are buying good stocks?

I will be trading the sessions following the earnings release. Either buy or short. SNAP is up first so I’ll post mine before earnings day. 

You can get a great many analysts reports on each stock.  They do it for a living and are very good at it.  

Just have to be careful. Because if you anticipate, say a huge jump and good earnings, that is usually factored into the stock price.  

Now if you think the analysis is wrong and make a play against it — sure you can do very well short term. 

But never forget, you would be betting against professionals that do this for a living. That can be very risky. 

That is why I was asking.
