WFMI crash and burn

WFMI Whole Foods Markets disappoints on earnings and sales and the stock is down 16% in the after hours. (two year chart)

This is a richly valued growth stock, that has now lost it growth status. When that happens look out below. For position traders the day of news can be a difficult time to establish positions. Option premiums tend to be extra high. 50 is round number support, but people really have to grind through the fundamental numbers to see if that level is worth buying at.
