6 Key Earnings Previews: AAPL, MSFT, EBAY, POT, WFR, SPWR

Har, yes, thanks for your support. CNH I like, I also like DE as a sympathy trade. But if you notice on CNH's historical candlestick daily chart, it really likes to move after the announcement or catalyst.
So post gap trade after should work well.

Ohio, it depends on the stock and its previous ranges on the average and more importantly on the extreme.
Market sentiment is also a consideration but more importantly risk/reward favorable trades , long volatility. Also time to expiration is a consideration as well.

The disclosure should say I am long AAPL and MSFT but thats it.
I will make sure they make the correct disclosures next time. Sorry about that.

Actually I am not bullish on SPWR at all. Market sentiment will be the prime factor for going long into any of these earnings. MSFT and AAPL are the best longs going into numbers but who is really going to care what they bring in when the Dow drops 500 to 1000 points this week.
Post event IV implosion trades to the dwonside are the higher probability play right now. Looking at shorts in the energy sector, long on FXY, short on FXB, short on RIMM, short on AMZN.
short select XLB components such as MON.
