Marketgems Earnings Trader- Trading Strong or Weak Earnings Growth

[jenna]

SHFL +12% since 3:00 yesterday, GRMN Doesn't say much for the market when the most exciting and profitable trade of the session on the long side is GRMN and SHFL <g> Better though than stalking the volatility of the semis. Still shorting some semi rallies but mostly done for the session having finally gotten stopped out of the builders. We have at least 1 session plus a potential move through the Tuesday open (gap open) for the builders which we are trading rather intensely for the week. 2- trend day for builders and not 5-6 like the semis. Earnings plays always outperform other 'typical most active plays' because they are atypical and we KNOW when they will move. Now if we know exactly HOW they will move it will be worth the Nobel Prize for trading but we'll leave that prize to the Master Traders <g>
