Something I’ve learned recently and a free tip for my fellow degenerates on here: If the IV on an earnings play isn’t palatable for you, make the same move on a sympathy player for a quarter of the IV. The swing might not be as extreme, but you’ll still make more than the people getting IV crushed Example: AMZN -> (TGT, WMT, BABA)

I got some nice gains off $BABA and $SPY calls but $AMD shook me out of my calls though.
