thezster said: "I have not researched PBG... so this is written and should be taken - with a grain of salt. Playing the ''earnings game" - is a crapshoot! If earnings are stellar - you can come out with a profit. If earnings are slightly above average, you might (MIGHT) make a buck or two overall... depending on whether expectations are already built into the price of a stock. I've seen way too many companies release good earnings only to tank the next day because, while the earnings were good, they were not what investors expected. Good Luck!!"

Mark24 said: "Playing the earnings release game is pretty risky, akin to gambling in my opinion if you don't have some sort of 'inside' information on the business that the rest of the market could be missing. Keep in mind that many investment firms run detailed analysis of a company's operations to try and predict what their earnings will be. As such, it might be very difficult for you to one-up them. There were many earnings surprises that beat expectations so far this year, but there is no saying when that will end. I feel that the rest of the market has been propped up by the better than expected earnings of many companies, and that when the fall comes in the form of weak earnings surprises that no longer warrant the inflated stock prices investors have pushed up from optimism, it isn't going to be a pretty sight. Good luck with PBG."

You're a guy that buys and sells a stock within a day or within hours calling earnings analysis a "crapshhoot"????? I give it more merit than your game. I have different ways to look at this. Consideration of earnings isn't a game or crap shoot when studied. I look at previous earnings for trends, then I try to key in on present business performance to look for speed bumps or sector changes or positives. The aim is to decide on earnings expectations on your own and to see if the street is expecting higher or lower. If a company and it's revenues is growing and expectations are on or below the mark...that is a great buy. I'd buy ahead of time and hold it. Even crap or mediocre performance can beat the street's expectations and increases it's stock price, but for those I sell on the news. Occasionally a really good company stock price drops because it doesn't meet rediculous expectations...I call that a BUY after the news and after the drop. Plus is all instances it's nice to see what institutional buyers and sellers are doing."

I give it more merit than your game. [/QUOTE] Nothing amazing about it. If I read the original post correctly, he's talking about buying just prior to earnings (within hours/days) in the hopes that the announcement will be stellar and cause the price to rise.... Yeah, I play the earnings game - but do so weeks ahead of the announcement when I feel earnings will be good. Then - I tend to sell just prior to the announcement - when everyone else is feeling the ''rush" and trying to get in ahead of the announcement (in other words - I sell to the above poster). Rarely do I hold through the announcement - very rarely. Do I miss out on the occasional "big bump" when the announcement is grand... well, sure I do... but - I'd rather take the sure thing a few hours ahead of time as a general rule. Trouble with earnings is whether or not they meet the expectations of Wall Street - and - even if they do - if the expectations have already been factored into the price (typical) - then meeting expectations does little to the value of the stock. Like I said... to me... it's a crapshoot...."

Piece of cake! :th_coolio: Eh, but seriously, I agree with Z and Mark24: Holding through earnings is a crapshoot (or close to it). But enjoy those 5% gains--you'll need 'em to offset the 5% losses."
