 everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Arma with the Stock Swash. I wanted to talk to you about earnings season. Earning season begins next week. It is a very important time to trade if you are an active trader. Why? Because you get lots of volume and lots of momentum during earnings season. So stocks companies report their earnings four times a year, and those are the most profitable times to trade. You can trade day trades, you can do swing trades, you could do options, but that's the time where you really want to be active because you're going to get big moves. As an active trader, it's all about looking the money and chunking it out. It's much, much more advantageous for you as a trader if you get big moves in the gap that happened because of earnings. And again, we go long and short stocks on earnings. You never know how the earnings are going to report. I typically do not take any positions into earnings. Typically, I'm waiting for the gap for the earnings to report, then I rate the gap and determine if it's a longer short. But you get so much momentum during earnings that it makes it, again, a very prosperous time to trade. So that's the time that you want to do it and focus on trading. Again, if you're interested in more information and learning how to trade gaps, I teach people how to do it in a class once a month. The next class is April 30th and May 1st. If you're interested, email me and Melissa at thestockswish.com. Have a great day, everyone.
