LOTTO PLAYS COMMENTARY FOR GOOG
GOOGLE Rocks the house!!! (My upside first target is $596.43)
They killed earnings estimates and the stock SOARED a record 20%!!
The call options made a FORTUNE!!!!!!
Today
Yesterday
===============================================================================================================
Google earnings are this Thursday and option expiration is Friday. This company loves to report the day before option expiration for some reason.
If they beat, then a nice relief rally will most likely ensue, so a straddle play here is a better bet. BUY the PUTS and cover with CALLS closer to the money, that way if they do beat, we get paid back on the puts and make a nice profit too.
If you do put this trade on I would overweight the May puts vs. Apr since they expire the next day. Look below and you will see that in 06 they opened up $20 in the money on expiration day but I think that was a fluke and most likely will not happen again because they were not traded on the S&P at that time so the downside volatility this time is more controlled by fund manager IMO.
