An earnings calendar tells you who reports and when. It does not tell you the one thing that decides whether you make or lose money. Which way to trade it. You can know a company reports Thursday and have no view at all on whether to be bullish or bearish on it. That gap is the whole problem. Where does your view come from before a report?

How do you narrow it down on a heavy reporting day? optionsplay.com/earnings-vol…
