“Earnings Season Doesn’t Need To Be Guess… Here’s How I Win-Both Ways With One Of My Favorite Plays”

Bryan Bottarelli, Co-Founder, Monument Traders Alliance 

Publisher’s Note: Elon’s rolling out a new space initiative, transforming Tesla into an AI chip rival to Nvidia, and launching what he’s calling “the biggest product of all time.”

All three happen before the end of April. Dr. Skousen’s identified three stocks positioned to explode off these launches — and he’s breaking down all three live on Wednesday, April 8 at 2 p.m. ET.

I’ve seen Mark’s research. The supply chain plays are real. The timing is tight.

If you don’t position before these launches hit, you’re watching from the sidelines. RSVP now. It’s free.

Dear Reader,

It’s that time of the year again: earnings season…

And while the mainstream loves to speculate and bet on company earnings…

Yesterday, we saw exactly WHY I use my overnight earnings strangle.

In case you are new to strangles…

A strangle is an options strategy you might use when you are betting on a big move higher or lower for a stock…

Meaning, regardless of if you are right or wrong, as long the moves in one direction… you can still win.

And earnings reports are some of the most common catalysts for these kinds of big moves.

To pull off a winning earnings strangle, you have to…

  • Pick the right strike price for both the puts and the calls
  • Pick the right company
  • Pick the right expiration date.

But the beauty of a strangle is you can make money regardless of which direction the stock goes.

The point of the trade is to buy a put option and a call option, so you’re covered in the event of either an upside move or a downside move.

To close the trade for a gain, all you need is for the stock to move enough (in either direction) that the price of one of your options rises above the total price you paid for both.

Take a look at NIKE yesterday…

In The War Room I recommended an Overnight Earnings Strangle…

I bought the $54 April 2nd Calls…

And the $52 April 2nd Puts…

The total cost for both positions was $3.60

So I was covered in both directions.

Take a look at what happened…

Nike got crushed. OUCH!!

The stock opened down about 10% overnight…

BUT because my strangle included the puts…

Not only was I protected…

But I actually scored a 68% winner!

Even though Nike got killed, we sold the call/put combo for $6.00.

So, even as Nike was getting clobbered, War Room traders locked in a killer overnight winner.

That’s not guessing… or hoping…

THAT’S SMART TRADING.

One thing to note…

If the underlying option is predicting a huge move, then you likely will not make money, because the option will already be very expensive.

What you want to look for is a situation where the market is NOT expecting a huge move and has therefore underpriced the options. That’s where a surprise in earnings can lead to a sizable move.

You also need to know companies’ official expected earnings and unofficial “whisper numbers” (which represent what the market is reallyexpecting).

And lastly, you need to know the technical support and resistance levels.

That due-diligence is precisely what I do for you inside The War Room.Logo

YOUR ACTION PLAN

I was born on 6 August 1956 in San Francisco, California to Janet and (the late) Richard Hovis. I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God. I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree. Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons. I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA. While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon.. In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God. We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987). From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting. Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982. I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects. In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston. In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018. Away from my Federal Government service, I have been involved in various organizations and activities in Northern Virginia. In November of 2011, I married Rebecca Ouellette in Santa Monica, California. I reside in San Tan Valley, AZ with my two hamster - Jess and Timothy, our fish, our lizard - RJ Lizard., and our cats - Pearl and Grey. As to hobbies, I enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, mentoring individuals from financial management to hamsters, building models, photography, travel, multimedia design, managing partner for RJ Hamster, and jazz – smooth jazz to a samba or a bossa nova. Love and God Bless, Peter – aka RJ Hamster Jo hi
