Why we sit out earnings — and what comes…
Hey ,
Right now, earnings season is in full swing.
Meta. Microsoft. Apple. Amazon. Some of the largest companies in the world are stepping up to the mic this week — and the market is hanging on every word.
If you trade the Money Press, you already know what this means: we sit most of these out.
And that’s not a weakness of the strategy. It’s a feature.
The Money Press works because we sell premium into known situations — stocks with stable structure, predictable ranges, and clean technical levels. Earnings blows all of that up. One surprise number and a stock that looked perfect yesterday gaps 15% overnight. No amount of premium collected covers that kind of move.
So experienced Money Press traders do something smart during earnings season: they watch, they wait, and they get ready.
Because here’s what happens on the other side.
The dust settles. Stocks find new levels. The ones that beat expectations often form clean new bases. The ones that disappointed stabilize — sometimes faster than you’d expect. And suddenly, there are fresh setups everywhere that didn’t exist two weeks ago.
That’s the window. And it opens soon.
Brandon built his Q2 Watchlist with this transition in mind. As companies report and the volatility fades, you’ll have a ready-made list of graded, structured stocks — so when the setups emerge, you’re not scrambling to find them.
The calm after earnings is one of the best times to be a Money Press trader. Let’s make sure you’re ready for it.
All the best,
Preston James
