Investment Earnings Analysis
When Not to Use
- Simple or one-off tasks — if the task is straightforward, direct execution is faster than structured methodology.
- Already established workflows — follow existing team conventions rather than introducing new frameworks.
- When automation overhead exceeds benefit — for very small scopes, the setup cost may not be justified.
Dependencies
- Python 3.8+ or Node.js 18+
- Access to relevant APIs/services for your specific use case
- Basic understanding of the domain concepts
Commands
Money-Making Overview
Earnings season produces the largest, fastest stock moves of the year. A single earnings report can move a stock 10-20% in hours. This skill gives you a systematic framework to:
- Position before earnings (directional or volatility plays)
- Trade the post-earnings drift (PEAD — Post-Earnings Announcement Drift)
- Score management teams for long-term quality investing
ROI Track Record: Post-earnings drift strategy averages 5-10% per quarter (20-40% annualized). Pre-earnings straddle selling (wheels) produces 3-8% per month on flat/neutral positions.
Capital Required: $1,000 minimum for options strategies; $500 for equity-only
Time to First Trade: 1-2 hours for setup, 15 min on earnings day
Archetype: Momentum/Event Trader (Medium Capital, Low Time)
