Mail Block: Options question of the week

Options during earnings season can be challenging. Some live for it while others avoid it. Do you hold options positions through earnings announcements? If so, what is your approach? Or do you prefer to trade just before/after the event? Or is it all too risky?

• Yes, Short Premium
• Yes, Long Premium
• No, Too Risky
• I trade around the event
