The period from now UNTIL earnings day has a good positive bias over the past 6 years.
Thanks for the interesting data. But this time its going to be different! (in the droid spirit).
Seriously - I would like to buy some sort of long position even after just selling a huge one, because it does usually run up into Q4 earnings. I'm going to do a delayed roll to take advantage of this pullback. I think I will buy a smaller number of Jan $25 or Jan $30 calls (or possibly Aprils), and keep the rest for cash and have a really nice Christmas.
