-Earnings season is starting officially next Monday. In case you have not noticed in MY DEL.ICIO.US on the left column of my blog, Bespoke gathered a list of "Most Volatile Stocks on Earnings Reports". You may find some good candidates for straddles and strangles here for earnings play.

-Read the inspiring story of The Pattern Trader. The riches-rags-riches life of Conrad, a former General Manager, in media industry who filed for bankruptcy when his business failed. Went for trading courses and started trading, lost some money and more. Step back from the market and studied all he can about trading from books and internet and came out with his own strategies. Now cleared of his bankruptcy, Conrad is consistently making US$5,000 monthly from trading, teaching trading and now even co-authored "Secrets of Millionaire Investors", a #1 bestseller non-fiction book in Singapore. Kudos to him!
