--------------------------------

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
