If nothing else, know that this little thing called IV crush means **you should never bother buying and holding options through earnings.** 
  
 The upshot is that because of IV crush, you can still lose money if you buy calls/puts before earnings and the price goes the way you wanted it to. 
  
 Personally, I've had most of my success with options by buying calls/puts with a long expiry (e.g. 6+ months) and using them as leveraged exposure to a stock.
