Marketgems Earnings Trader- Trading Strong or Weak Earnings Growth

LXK swing put play but the 95 calls as a hedge will not expire worthless, its holding its own and after a 3 day short/put play culminating in a gap 'n crap, the calls are starting to pick up after locking in 25% puts today and a 3 day put play on Friday. This isn't always the case but we played LXK from the highs until the gap fill which was our goal.


LXK is bloated to say the least and could begin to fill the gap down here. Been waiting for this baby to break 95. May 95 puts if we want to hold through the April 19 report, and April 95 for just a 2 day move down (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) for only $0.90. (worth picking up any May 95 CALLS by Friday into the close for the Monday report )so a good strategy would be buy the cheaper April puts for the "anticipatory downswing" and then some May call options near the close on Friday.
