My strategy will always be : Only trade after the earnings. I usually don't bet with the earnings as this used to be one of my major weaknesses in trading. Last time, I always tend to buy big before earnings especially on the companies which I am extremely confident with its results. However, throughout my investment journey, I learnt about the importance of "market expectations" and "next quarters forecast".

We need to factor in the current share price before earnings might already factor in especially for the "super impressive" results, as some insiders might always leak the news out. Therefore, sometimes, even if the earnings is extremely good (let's say improve by 100%, doubled), but if it is still below market expectations or the existing share price already been rallied and factored in such earnings expectations, the share price will usually pullback and drop.

Incoming quarters forecast is another key decider. Poor forecast will usually send the stock down regardless good QR.

      The recent drop in the market can be attributed to several factors. Here are some key points from the news articles:

      Dow Inc. reported lower-than-expected earnings for the second quarter and highlighted a slower-than-anticipated macroeconomic recovery. The company's net income and operating earnings per share were lower compared to the same period last year. The slower global macroeconomic recovery has impacted their sales and earnings.

      Disappointing corporate results in the United States and Europe have contributed to the market drop. Tesla, one of the prominent stocks that have fueled the global rally, reported a drop in second-quarter earnings. This has had a negative impact on investor sentiment. Read more

        

      The Singapore stock market also experienced a decline, following a three-day losing streak. The market dropped more than 50 points or 1.5 percent, indicating a potential acceleration of losses. Read more

        

      It's important to note that market movements are influenced by various factors, including economic indicators, corporate earnings, geopolitical events, and investor sentiment. The recent drop in the market can be attributed to a combination of these factors.

      Certainly! Here are a few more strategies you can consider during the earnings period:

      Trading Options: Options trading can be an effective strategy during earnings season. Options allow you to take advantage of potential price movements while limiting your risk. You can use strategies such as buying call or put options, or employing more advanced strategies like straddles or strangles to profit from volatility around earnings announcements.

        

      Monitoring Analyst Estimates: Analyst estimates can provide valuable insights into market expectations for a company's earnings. By comparing actual earnings results with analyst estimates, you can gauge whether the company has exceeded or fallen short of expectations. This information can help you make informed trading decisions.

        

      Tracking Price Reactions: Pay attention to how the market reacts to earnings announcements. If a company reports strong earnings but the stock price drops, it could indicate negative sentiment or other factors influencing the market. Conversely, if a company reports weaker-than-expected earnings but the stock price rises, it could suggest positive sentiment or other factors at play. Monitoring price reactions can help you identify potential trading opportunities.

        

      Using Technical Analysis: Incorporating technical analysis alongside fundamental analysis can provide a more comprehensive view of a stock's potential during earnings season. Technical indicators such as support and resistance levels, moving averages, and chart patterns can help identify potential entry and exit points. Combining technical analysis with earnings-related news and data can enhance your trading strategy.

        

      Diversifying Your Portfolio: Earnings season can be volatile, and individual stock performance can be unpredictable. Diversifying your portfolio across different sectors and asset classes can help mitigate risk. By spreading your investments, you can reduce the impact of any single stock's earnings report on your overall portfolio.

        

      Remember, these strategies are not foolproof, and there are no guarantees in the stock market. It's essential to conduct thorough research, stay updated with relevant news and data, and consider your risk tolerance before implementing any trading strategy.
