Don't be a Gambler
Everyone is trying to position ahead of earnings. I know guys who are short YHOO and long YHOO. Both think they will be right and cash in their winnings tomorrow-- following a stellar or dismal report.
But, in my opinion, they are both idiots. Unless you have inside information on a specific earnings report, buying or selling ahead of earnings is a gamble.
My rule is simple: Unless the economy is in expansion phase, which it is not, I steer clear of earnings.
Now, let's say YHOO smokes the estimate and they project sunny days. Why not pay up the next day for certainty of strength, instead of flying blind?
As for INTC, I find it hard to believe their "price war" with AMD is over and done with in one quarter. I could be wrong, but I think INTC may disappoint.
