📅 What is the Earnings Calendar?
Companies report their financial results (earnings) every quarter. These reports can cause big price moves — stocks can jump 5-20% on a good report or drop just as much on a bad one.
What the columns mean:
📊 Expected EPS — Earnings Per Share: the profit the company is expected to generate per share this quarter. Think of it as the value being added to each share on earnings day. If a $100 stock reports $2 EPS (beating the $1.50 expectation), the stock could jump because it earned more value than the market priced in.
🌅 BMO — Before Market Open (reported before 9:30 AM ET)
🌙 AMC — After Market Close (reported after 4:00 PM ET)
Why it matters: If a company beats expectations (reports higher EPS than expected), the stock usually goes up. If it misses, it usually drops. Knowing when your holdings report helps you prepare for volatility.
💡 Tip: Some traders avoid buying right before earnings due to unpredictability. Others see it as an opportunity.

😨 What is the Fear Index?
The Fear Index measures how scared investors are. High fear often means stocks are oversold — historically a good buying opportunity.
Score (0–100):
0–14: Minimal Fear — markets are calm and confident
15–34: Low Fear — slight nervousness, mostly stable
35–54: Moderate Fear — uncertainty building, caution rising
55–74: High Fear — significant worry, possible overreaction
75–100: Extreme Fear — panic mode, often the best time to buy
