Summary
Even when traders correctly predict a stock’s direction after earnings, option trades can still lose money due to volatility shifts and pricing expectations. In this episode, Jeff Praissman sits down with Market Chameleons’ Dmitry Pargamanik and Will McBride to explore how implied volatility, magnitude of moves, and historical data shape earnings strategies.
