Cabot Options Institute – Earnings Trader Issue: October 3, 2022

This week is a complete dud when it comes to earnings announcements (which is why this report is so short this week), but no worries, earnings start in earnest the following week with the big banks (JPM, C, WFC, MS, etc.) all due to report on October 14. Moreover, this Friday we will be having our first subscriber-exclusive webinar at noon EST. In addition to going over several trades in the aforementioned bank stocks using our iron condor approach, I will also be introducing my step-by-step approach to short strangles with a few potential trades.
