Friday's Prospects: Round 2

The survivors of the first round of my screening -- see "Friday's Prospects" -- are tending toward the less liquid end of the scale. It's not a great choice.

The best of the lot is a potential bear play on the Puerto Rico-based bank-holding company Popular Inc. (BPOP). A complicating factor is the fact that Zacks gives BPOP a bullish rating, contrary to the potential trade. In itself, that isn't a deal killer. I'll get a better sense of things once I've dug into the financials.

I intend to post an analysis of BPOP later in the day.
