I’m looking at four earnings plays as potential trades on Monday.

They are:

action	sym	earns date	am/mid/pm
12/19	CCL	12/20	am
12/19	DRI	12/20	am
12/19	GIS	12/20	am
12/19	KMX	12/20	am

I rejected one that had sufficiently high implied volatility, NAV, because open interest, a measure of liquidity, is lower than I like.

I found no high volatility plays of interest that don’t coincide with earnings announcements.
