Trading Strategy: Volatility Isn’t Bad

Volatility isn’t bad.
If fact, it can be profitable – if you know how to use it.

When most investors think of volatility, their minds usually go straight to massive downdrafts in the market like we saw late last year.
That’s not entirely wrong, nor is it entirely right.
A better way to think of volatility is as a measure of the magnitude of change – either up or down.
While most investors don’t like for their stocks to fall, there are always short-sellers out there. They DO like volatility.
A Better Way to Profit From Volatility
For each individual stock, volatility spikes four times a year, like clockwork.
Why?
Earnings season.
Every three months, most publicly traded companies report their earnings for the past quarter. Good or bad, companies are legally obligated to tell you how they performed over the past quarter.
And, like clockwork, investors start making bets on whether a company beat earnings estimates or not.
Regardless of what the consensus is, all that buying-and-selling creates volatility. Here’s an example . . .
Walmart (NASDAQ: WMT) is the great American retailer. Frankly, it’s the benchmark for American retail.
So, four times every year during earnings season, investors start making bets on whether Walmart’s earnings went up or down.
That creates a large spike in volatility, followed by a steep decline. And that’s where we make our profits.

We recently locked in a better than 22% gain on Walmart – OVERNIGHT. We bought in just before Walmart reported earnings and sold after it did. The trade didn’t even take a full 24-hours.
