@qz0bg3 :-) A lot of hard work, experience and knowing when to get on the other side of these analyst. They sold it down hard going into the report and Wall Street left the leader for dead because it's a historically weak quarter. Our logic was they were going to get some ROI on the investments and costs from the prior quarter. Hope that makes sense.

@qz0bg3 we stayed out of most of the risk today and traded the equity outright to pay for our calls so it was a completely risk-less trade this time around :-)
