FC Pop and Drop on Earnings

NYSE:FC   Franklin Covey Company
Not really a trade I recommend, but I figure I'd post it since I'm playing it.

FC has done a pop and drop on the last 3 earnings because they lost less money than expected (which is retarded if you ask me). Options premiums are a bit high, but figured I'd pick up some $22.5 puts. Pay attention to earnings Wed afternoon, and if they lose money and the stock jumps up, short the pop.

Why a money losing company is trading company with no revenue expansion is trading at a P/S ratio of 1.5 is beyond me. Revenue is same as 2015, but they made money that year. Now they're losing money and the stock price is higher. Stupid.
Trade active:
Computerz pumping futures again, waiting until Wednesday afternoon to add a little more. (Keeping the pre-earings position small). Then if they lose money and still pump the stock Thursday morning, I'm going loading up on puts.
Trade active:
Bought a few Feb $22.5 puts just in case earnings are real bad and it tanks.

Waiting to buy $25 puts on Thursday morning,
Comment:
Earnings are neither good or bad, looks like a dead play.
Trade active:
LOL, so they did pop this thing today, Feb $25 puts for the win...
Comment:
Lol, POS. I bet it goes right back to $20, certainly before my Feb puts expire.
