How to Handle Earnings

If I love a chart, I will risk mine. It's rarely you'll get lucky enough that you get a big enough move to actually hold through earnings two or three days later. So there are those times if I can manage risk really tightly and I love a stock and it's got that powerful look to my eye, I'll buy it 2-3 days before just to be safe. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong right? And if I'm flat or down, I'm limiting myself. Otherwise I'm taking profits into it. Or if I'm close, maybe he'll keep half right. I play that, you know, yeah.
