It bothers me so much to see swing traders taking huge gambles on a company’s earnings report, as if they can somehow game the system and come out consistently on the winning side. News flash – you can’t. I am going to cover the fallacy of being able to trade stocks and hold them through earnings and why you should avoid the practice entirely.

Oh, and that includes Apple’s (AAPL) earnings tomorrow night as well. So don’t even think about it.
