Feb 15, 2019 at 18:15 comment added Bob Baerker When I say trading news such as earnings, I'm referring to taking a position right after they release it rather and in the direction of the move than anticipating what the news will be and guessing what the reaction will be. Trading in after hours is like the shoot out at the OK Corral. Volatile! Eventually, a more logical approach for me was to trade the volatility crush of near week options against a further expiration (they all contract but the near week expands and contracts more). Put the odds in your favor. Now, I have moved on the higher probability positioning - a function of age :->)

I gave up trying to trade on the news because with robinhood i realized that earnings announcements can actually drive down the value of a stock. Timing the stock market is a nightmare, but the flipside is that "risk" is something that can't really be calculated even if your talking about harm to your coporeal person.
