Default Re: possible trading strategy?

[ QUOTE ]
a stock i bought gave their earnings this morning. i was able to sell at 53.2, now its at 50.58 after an under performing report. is it possible to wake up every morning and short a stock based on its earning report before everyone else gets there?

Somebody has to buy for you to sell - it's not like there's some dummy standing there offering to buy stocks regardless of what happens to the earnings.
