I have two prospective earnings plays for Thursday: V and AMZN.

I shall do a full analysis of V and most likely enter a position.

I am rejecting AMZN without full analysis; the stock is priced north of $800 per share, and that would force me to commit a greater portion of my funds to a single trade than I prefer. Better a smaller commitment to increase diversification.

Hey, Jeff Bezos! Time for a stock split?
