2 of our 3 open 3-month stock calls report earnings in the next stretch: Microsoft (MSFT) on Wed Oct 28 after the close, T-Mobile US (TMUS) on Wed Oct 28 after the close. Each call is graded against the S&P 500 over 3 months, so one report doesn't settle it, but it's the night the thesis gets tested.
