3/30 Unanalyzed

The avoidance of the period close to earnings is in my rules, but not everyone agrees. I'm a base hits sort of  player. If I can get on first, I'm happy. Other traders go for home runs, and that style will seek out the weeks before an earnings announcement because that's when the surprises happen.

Here are the equities that I'm not analyzing, and why: BBD, bull, low adx (17), close to earnings (5/4) CEPH, bear, news that a drug approval ws being delayed, close to earnings (5/4) CHRS, bear, 17%+ drop on the earnings announcement DD, bear, close to earnings (4/20) DHR, bull, company announces quarterly outlook, marginal adx (24), close to earnings (4/22) EBAY, bear, close to earnings (4/21) EWZ, bull, low adx (14) JPM, bear, close to earnings (4/14) LDK, bear, earnings announcement, low adx (14) LSI, bear, close to earnings (4/28) MMM, bull, news of a business deal in Asia, low adx (11), close to earnings (4/27) SQNM, bull, price up on speculation the companyhas developed a new downs syndrome test, close to earnings (4/29) STX, bear, low adx (12), close to earnings (4/20) SU, bull, low adx (15), close to earnings (4/22)
