$GOOG and $AMZN earnings plays (Jan 2014)

$GOOG and $AMZN were scheduled to release their earnings reports after the closing bell on Thu. 1/30/2014.

I used a unique options strategy which I nicknamed "long straddle with wings."  

This options strategy is a GUARANTEED WINNER if the stock has a large move after earnings because you're "betting" on both sides.
