How to play dollar general earning in a creative way?

-
  Dollar general  DG  is announcing its quarterly  earning on Thursday morning august 25th at 10 AM
Our favorite point of view of trading that earning is taking a look at its option chain https://www.google.com/finance/company_news?q=NYSE:DG&ei=eze9V9CGA43RjAGIo7DwDA
https://www.google.com/finance/option_chain?q=NYSE%3ADG&ei=Tjm9V_jJBIqvjAHD34fAAQ
After analyzing its both chain for August 26/16  and September 16/16  we have noticed that August/26 out of money calls and puts which both expires  in two days is over priced comparing to September 16/16 out of the money closer to the strike price . DG closed today at 91.49 a share , our favorite strategy for that trade is buying calls and puts  September 16/16 closer to on the money and sell calls and puts  august 26/16 out of the money with a higher strike price. Our trade will be
  Buy 92.5 call sept/16 for 200$-sell 95 aug/26 call for 85$ . Cost of that spread is 115$.
   Buy 90 put sept/16 for 185$  - sell 87.5put Aug/26 for 75$ . Cost of that spread is 110$.
  The  purpose of that trade has two goals :
 - If the stock move in any direction up or down more than 3$ it will profit 50$ out of 225$ the cost if both spreads , that means about 35% profit .
 - If the the stock price didn't move enough after the earning we will keep profit from selling both calls and puts out of the money for August 26/16 which will end up worthless.
     Happy trading

Generating consistent monthly income in the stock market with minimal Risk

After a decade of experimenting with various options strategies, I have discovered a reliable approach to producing a steady 7% monthly return while protecting my investment. This strategy builds upon the principles of covered calls and calendar spreads, with a key twist. Traditional covered calls require significant capital and carry substantial downside risk if the stock price plummets. Calendar spreads, on the other hand, demand constant adjustments and have unlimited downside potential. The alternative strategy I've developed is a modified collar options strategy. It involves purchasing deep in-the-money call options with a longer expiration date and simultaneously selling at-the-money or slightly out-of-the-money call options with a shorter expiration date. Additionally, I buy out-of-the-money put options and sell way out-of-the-money put options with a longer expiration date. This approach has proven to be a reliable and consistent performer, offering a monthly return of over...
