Great content, R. Combining it with historical research I do on a symbol's post-EA IV crush & projecting it for an upcoming EA has really enhanced decision making.

FYI- $AMZN's EA actually 10/31 ATC. Wasn't yday (10/24).

Yea - I double checked AMZN, should have triple checked - the history around earnings really is useful data.
