Hey y’all! Remember how just the other day, I asked our experts for some advice on trading earnings, and shared it with all of you? And their advice more or less boiled down to: earnings are a coin flip, so be super careful. Before I get into this, I just want to remind you: anyone can brag about their wins, but it takes an incredibly brave and noble Editor-in-Chief to brag about their losses. Especially when they look like an idiot and ignore the advice of much smarter people around them… 🤦♂️ And that’s exactly what I did yesterday… and paid for it! The moral of this story: listen to our experts! Let me tell you what happened… Now, if you know Lance, you know this isn’t a full-conviction alert by any means. Just a fun idea he was throwing out to take a gamble on earnings. Cause that’s what most earnings trades are: a gamble. Right? I mean we just covered this… But I thought, why not? My accounts haven’t been doing so great lately because I keep taking dumb bets on coin flips… what’s the harm in adding another one? So I got into the $24.5 Puts and I watched and waited. And suddenly, things looked GREAT! KMI reporting earnings and we immediately saw a big selloff in the stock until the close of after market trading. Winner winner, chicken dinner, right?! Wrong… The stock rallied right back to yesterday’s close, and I never had a chance to get out. I waited for it to come back down a little and cut my losses… rough day. Here’s the thing though: I’m not really upset about this outcome because at least I minimized my losses. That’s the one piece of advice I did listen to: never risk more than you can afford to lose. I did lose on this one… pretty badly… but it was a small trade with just a few contracts, so I’ll live and learn. After all, I’m right back into a few SNAP contracts at $0.81… :D Because this IS a high-conviction bet… |
