Market phenomenon could be making you lose money

[The Earnings Edge] Dear Reader, Today, I want to tell you about a strange market phenomenon that is currently leading 99% of investors to lose money. We see it in big-name stocks like Goldman Sachs all the time... especially during earnings season. Before the company reports, people will pile into the stock, getting ready for what they believe will be an earnings beat. In turn, the stock rises. Look at GS ahead of its Q1 report back in April. It jumped 4.3% in the week before reporting:  But then, earnings disappointed:  And the stock plunged:  There's nothing new about that story: you made a bet, your bet was wrong, you lost money. Duh. But here's where that market phenomenon comes in - what about the people who bet against Goldman stock ahead of the report? One would assume that put options on GS made a fortune trading through its disappointing report. I mean, look at that red crash. [But that's not what happened](. Listen carefully - call buyers and put buyers lost on Goldman's earnings report. Trading through earnings is a lose-lose situation - and [you can see why right here](. Understanding why this happens... how to avoid it in the future... and what to do instead... Is crucial to profiting during volatile earnings seasons like the one we're in right now. And there's never been a better time to become an earnings trader. Next week alone, I've got [21 trade targets on deck](...  And I know exactly how to avoid [this #1 earnings mistake]( when trading them.
