If the stock moves against you, you will end up losing. You should have stop loss in place if you are going in a directional trade. In case of GOOG, stop losses will be quite meaningless because the stop loss will be most likely be triggered as GOOG gaps significantly after earnings. If you dont want to play direction, you play a strategy that makes you money or limits your risk no matter what direction the stock moves in. In my earlier post on part 3 of Goog earnings, I had written the strategy i am playing. I have entered 2 backratio spreads giving me net credit. You can read my post on goog earnings part 3 discussion thread. Cheers Ty
