The $1 Trillion Earnings Secret No One Talks About
(except me)

Don Kaufman here.
Every earnings season, billions of dollars change hands in the options market.
Most traders miss the opportunity completely, focusing on the wrong things—like guessing earnings numbers or following analyst predictions.
But there’s a hidden pattern in how options are priced before earnings that’s been quietly printing three-figure returns for years.
Have you ever felt stuck, watching everyone else profit during earnings season while your trades go nowhere?
This pattern can help you finally turn the tables, giving you a repeatable edge to capture profits like:
348% on AMZN
265% on META
182% on AAPL
And just Friday, I used it to close a 122% gain on DAL—even as the Dow plunged nearly 700 points.
I’ve been trading this strategy since my thinkorswim days, and it’s worked across every earnings season I’ve ever traded.
Some traders think earnings are just a gamble. They assume you have to “predict” the results to win. That’s not true.
This pattern works before the earnings announcement, so you’re not betting on results—you’re profiting from inefficiencies in how options premiums are priced.
