Wednesday: No Trade

Seven symbols survived my initial screening last night, all potential bear trades. Further analysis today found them all wanting.

Two failed confirmation: TDC and IGTE.

Four had options with insufficient open interest to supprt a bear trade: FMER, HSP, CPWR and MSTR.

The last symbol standing, WCRX, as it turns out, is in the process of being acquired by ACT and so is disqualifed for trading under my rules. (If that's not an explicit clause in my trading rules, it ought to be and I'll add it in.)

I won't be opening any new position today.
