### Comment:
Thanks Chungus, I read it, looked a bit into the expected earnings too, and then I ended up at my local store to pick some stuff up today, saw the lockers the new self checkouts are cool... anyway I haven't played earnings before, but can see the accelerated upside to doing so. I see that HD was at 210 as recently as September too. Anyway I said all that to say, if their investment is starting to pay off, is an earnings beat priced in?

### REPLY:
I think it might be but I'm just not sure given the last hour or so of trading on Friday. It kept getting short squeezed (to get in lower in anticipation of the earnings beat) but bounced back every time. My play is a 3/1 $195 call with the majority of the contracts getting sold Monday on the run up and a few lotteries held through earnings just in case it pops.

### END.
