Band of Traders - Together We Trade The Option(al) Experience: Ep. 7: Earnings
In this installment of the Option(al) Experience, Erik kicks things off by reviewing some of the trades made by Kyle and Blayne since they last met before leading a discussion about earnings and potential opportunities to trade. Homework for this episode is to track a minimum of one earnings play per week so we can learn how options move through the cycle.

About Erik:
Erik is a lifelong investor and self-made millionaire looking to share how others can achieve the same. He is hoping to share his experience with active and veteran military members to expose them to opportunities.
He came from a single parent low-income household, worked odd jobs as a kid, and began investing in high school. Erik wasn't going to attend college and planned to enlist in the Marines, but a mentor directed him to apply for a scholarship (which he earned). While he pursued his undergrad, he dug deeper into investing and trading - finding derivatives which he primarily trades. He completed over 6 years of active duty before transitioning to the reserves, earning an MBA during his last year. Erik then spread into real estate and angel investing as his means grew, to accelerate capital growth.
