If there earnings are up, the stock could jump back up, it least that's what I'm hoping for, another Tesla situation

They should have jumped a couple of weeks ago, but I guess the virus issue is hurting them.

Baba is one of my bigger investments as I see a ton of upside.

They will beat earnings but what will drive them down is future guidance with regards of the impact of the virus. I stayed away from it because of that but wish you luck with it.

Solid research. You should write a "how to" on creating generational wealth.

BTW, why didn't you buy yesterday when they were down? You just gave the option writer some extra money so I am sure he appreciates it.

Sold everything at 220 weeks ago when the news of the virus really started coming out. I’ll be back eventually. It’s very risky right now because earnings is supposed to be great but China is also lying about the amount inflected and deaths due to the coronavirus. Good luck.

Purchasing options around earnings releases is a sucker's bet. You would have a better ROI on the roulette table.

It can be good if you have a strategy and sell during the run-up to suckers like the OP that buy weeklys a day or two before earnings and pay a premium for them. Doing that netted me 130% return today on NVDA calls I bought just last week.

I'm deep in Alibaba. You'll be fine long term. We'll know Thursday about short term.

Earnings will be good but guidance may may kill any upward movement.

Absolutely. Options have been getting destroyed through earnings. Calls and Puts both. People expecting these big 10-15% moves, the stock only moves 3-4% and then sellers collect that premium.

Please tell us that you didn't hold through earnings. RIP your money if you did.

Down 1.8%? Or did they report after hours and have terrible results?

Shouldn't be too much damage unless he had near expiry options.
