Paper traded a put option on Patterson Companies Inc. (PDCO) on 23 Aug 2006, eve of earnings announcement. On 24 Aug 2006, PDCO dropped $1.30 to $31.50 around 9.45am EST. At 10.05am EST, PDCO reached $31.50 (-$1.30). Sold my put option for a profit of about $500.
The drop was because PDCO Patterson Companies missed their 1st Quarter EPS by $0.02 though their revenue rose 10.0% y/y to $655.5 mln vs. consensus of $654.1 mln. PDCO also issued downside guidance for FY07, sees EPS of $1.54-1.57 vs. $1.58 consensus.
The above was one of the technique taught by Dr Clemen Chiang to trade equity options when I attended the Live Freely Options Trading Seminar Workshop (Singapore). I graduated from Batch 14.
I'm still working hard to maintain consistency in achieving profitable trades.
Wishing you Profitable in your Trading too.
Yours Sincerely ,

Hi Paul,
Nice Trading Blog. Read about your trade on GRMN and what can I say, I screwed up myself at times this way too. Just don't give up, perservere. May be you could treat me a drink in Singapore when your account reach $40,000.
Cheers,
Tony Chai
