 first you need to know what the astock has moved for the last 4 earnings-the %^ average- you want ones >/10% and the higher the better--qcom was at about 12%- so it was in play on the 27th before the close--you go to crimson mind.com to check for the 2 day movement on the put call ratio- if it spikes up hard the stock will likely go down- if it goes down stock will likely go up--lets look at qcom--even though it showed a strong call side on the 27th- it showed a move 0.36-1.26 from the 25th-27th- plus the other real important thing to look at is the call action above the stock and the put acttion below the stock price--- on the 27th  it was 10 to one on the put side below the price-- so i went with the 47-42 puts big time---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2010/01/27 Buy to Open QCOM Feb 10 43.00 Put QCOM 217.0 $0.30  -$6,542.55

 also most importantly make sure they are not way over priced like msft calls were- by as much as 300%- you can check this - under options-they have a calculator==Schaeffer's Options Center
 -------Option Pricing Calculator---on the 57.5 calls onnflx on the 27th------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Expiration Month Expiration Year Strike Price Option Type Implied Volatility Market Price Calculated Price
 February 2010 57.5 CALL 60.497 0.90 1.8457 they wereb 0.90 but worth 1.85--- the 160 s were 0.50 but worth 1.31------the 65 s were 0.15 but worth 0.64---- 0n qcom the 42 puts were 0.20 but worth 0.59---the 43 s were 0.30 but worth 0.81-- at todays close there were 100 s of feb calls dirt cheap--on stec at the close- the 15 s were 0.55 but worth 0.68
