Understand that jumping into a stock right as it gets ready to report means you likely won't have enough time to build a profit cushion before the release. That leaves you exposed to a sudden downturn if the company doesn't deliver the type of numbers analysts were expecting. You can reduce your risk by waiting to see the actual numbers and the market's reaction. You can also use an options strategy to limit your potential downside.
