Earnings season is the Super Bowl and Olympics rolled into one
With a spate of companies -- including most of the FAANG stocks -- releasing earnings this week, it's game on for Brian Dress, director of research at Left Brain Investment Research, who describes earnings season as 'the Super Bowl and the Olympics all rolled into one, and we get it four times a year.' He explains how Left Brain uses calls, transcripts, numbers and more to find potential buys in stocks and bonds, and singles out bonds in Cleveland Cliffs -- a company where the third-quarter results proved points made in the prior quarter -- to highlight how earnings reports reveal opportunities.
