As we enter the end of earnings season, there are still a few big names left to report, including Priceline, PCLN. This is an interesting opportunity for a skip-strike butterfly. You can find more on page 108 of The Options Playbook, which is always available on OptionsPlaybook.com, in on the Amazon Kindle edition.

Specifically:

  • Earnings + expiration + implied volatility = interesting situation
  • Goal: do the trade for a net credit
  • PLCN announces earnings on 2/27
  • What is the expected move?
  • What is the implied volatility?
  • Selecting the strikes
  • Remember commissions!
  • What's the risk? Reward?
  • When to get out?
