- Facebook, reporting on November 4, is one of the few companies with a growth story
- A higher share price comes with a worse risk/reward ratio
- Let’s look at how to possible trade options around Facebook’s earnings
Social media giant Facebook (FB) is scheduled to report its latest quarterly results next week on Wednesday, November 4. The stock remains one of the few believable growth stories that the masses of investors are aware of and as such continues to trade this way as it gets chased higher.
I am a believer in the company and its growth prospects but don’t believe in chasing the stock higher at current levels for risk/reward gets worse with every uptick.
Luckily Facebook stock allows prudent traders and active investors several avenues of potentially profiting into and after its earnings report, which is where my current focus in the stock lies.
