Thursday's Agenda

Implied volatility for each of today's prospects remains below the 60th percentile of its most recent range, my minimum require for proceeding with full analysis and possibly a trade.

symrange %ile
NVDA49
CNC0

CNC, at the bottom of the barrel, has no reasonable chance of reaching the 60th, so I'm setting it aside and won't concern myself with it further.

NVDA is within reach of the 60th, if implied volatility raises form the present 51% to 56%. Possible, but not likely. I'll check it as the day goes on and if it reaches the qualifying level, I'll proceed with a full analysis.
