Thursday: No Trade

Two symbols survived last night's initial screening, a bull signal from EDZ and a bear signal from BSAC. (See "Thursday's Prospects".)

EDZ confirmed the bull signal by trading above the breakout level, despite opening 3.1% below Wednesday's close. That magnitude of a drop gives me sufficient pause to reject the trade out of hand.

BSAC confirmed the bear signal but lacks sufficient liquidity to support a short sale and open interest to support a short bear vertical spread.

I won't analyze either of these symbols further and don't intend to open any new position today.
