Traders best strategy to play earnings season appears to be through the tool of options. However I feel this will be a non event with no surprises.It is interesting to see how option premium gets knocked off tommorrow.

The tension in Jet airways stock seems to have been resolved with stock up 3% after buyout of Sahara.

I am puzzled at the ever changing cycles in the market which prevent people from making money helping big fish.
