Two Strategies for Today's Earnings

I have two potential earnings strategies for today. If you are a risk-adverse investor, consider diversifying your risk across an array of earnings plays. If you can take on a little risk, consider going long in United Community Banks (UCBI).

If you like to play historical trends when choosing stocks, then you would be a fool to pass on UCBI. From the chart below you can see that the company has beat estimates five out of the last six quarters and has advanced after the report for each of these quarters. I have to rush a bit to get this out before 4pm, but the chart shows that the company is legitimately off its highs and needs a catalyst to get back to these levels.

Since there are so many other great earnings plays available, I suggest buying the stocks listed in the table below. This table simply shows stocks that Earnings Whispers believes will beat the estimates. Many of these stocks will advance, some will decline, but in total, these stocks should advance.


Sorry for the short post, good luck!

For some reason Google is not showing my chart of potential earnings for risk-adverse investors. I am going to go ahead and apologize for Google's mishap (one of the reasons why I am betting on YHOO tomorrow going into earnings). Here is the list of companies for those who care:
MEL
MI
MTB
SGR
RF
NTRS
KEY
KO
ADTN
CNW
JNJ
EMC
CMA

Hey, if you ever get in some shady dealings and make some illegal money that you need to 'dissapear', listen to me for earnings plays.
