I will be buying a GOOG Oct strangle 3 strikes OTM on October 18, 3:00 EST - day of earnings - and close Friday the 19th.
Unless you've developed a true edge in this type of trade, this is pure gambling at its best. The IV collapse is something to behold ....
So far I have: forex-forex = buy this position volatilitypimp = neutral verbotenlaandia = neutral damnit = sell this position RL8093 = sell this position (maybe neutral) optioncoach = sell this position
xflat2186 ...Dont trade GOOG earnings unless you're well capitalized and have a plan that includes the use of trading the underlying whether to rehedge your negative gamma from selling the juice or trying to lock in some profits from being long the juice. Good luck
