Chicken trades you use for quarterly reports. certain requirements need to be met for a stock to be a good candidate for a chicken trade.

I need to refresh my memory about them but basically they need to have a history of surprise results in their quarterly report. they need to move at least 4 dollars in one direction or the other after the report.
you'll buy a put and a call a basically the same cost on each side of th par value of the stock. then whn it makes a move, you see which direction t goes. if it makes a big move one way or the other you watch for it to slow down and exit the profitable side. Stay in thelosing side as a majority of the time because it makes a huge move on one direction it will likely correct in the other direction so you can wait and get some money back from the losing side.

First solar (FSLR), Apple (aapl) are just two very good chicken trade stocks.
