Understanding the investor vs. trader perspective

- Traders: Need to handle earnings with strategies suitable for high volatility, determining if they can trade effectively in such environments.
Earnings season insights
- Kick-off: Often starts with financials, but other companies like PepsiCo can also initiate the season.
- Components: Earnings include both the actual numbers (EPS, revenue, profit margins) and the outlook provided by the company.
Strategies for investors
- Increase positions: Long-term investors might increase their positions during earnings dips.
- Long-term focus: Avoid reacting to short-term earnings if the investment horizon is long.
Strategies for traders
- High volatility: Traders must be comfortable trading in high volatility environments caused by earnings announcements.
- Avoiding risk: Some traders may choose to avoid earnings periods due to unpredictable price movements.
- Using options:
- Strangles and straddles: Used to profit from expected large moves.
- Volatility crunch: Sell options before earnings to capitalize on high premiums and buy them back after the announcement when volatility drops.
Volatility and market reaction
- Pre-earnings: Implied volatility rises due to uncertainty.
- Post-earnings: Volatility often drops sharply, affecting option prices.
