USO Buy Signal; Sep $14.00 call. No other trades. IBM Our short position was on the wrong side of earnings today, but as pointed out earlier this week, each of the past three earnings reports came either at the top of a rally, or was a few days prior to that top. In October, 2017 the stock gapped up from $146 to $157 on its way to $161, and it was back to $146 just three weeks later. Our's is a September option with 64 days left until expiration. This trade is far from over. Next scheduled update: Weekend Update due out Saturday morning with updated trades table.
