Marketgems Earnings Trader- Trading Strong or Weak Earnings Growth

[jenna]

SHFL we did call the volume increase as well as the price increase and SHFL up substantially from yesterday's 3:00 bulletin and long call. Still don't see any reason to sell SHFL. When you want something more than lackluster moves intraday the earnings plays will ALWAYS move simply because the catalyst is the "anticipation" that increases prior to the report and of course the resulting move after the report. It could a shortable gap up or a buyable gap fill or just take any profits and call it a day. Certainly won't be 'dead in the water' like the semis today. SHFL was always a strong mover good for 3 or 4 points before and or after the report.
