R59- holding into earnings

Re, when trying to predict what a stock will do over time, dd and valuation analysis are paramount. However when you hold into earnings, you are trying to predict the financial condition of a company at that exact point in time, what the next three- six months will likely be, and how investors will react on a given day. I feel that's a fruitless proposition. However I could be very wrong, but the only way to know would be to keep track of your picks into earnings from here on out for a year or two- the longer the better.
