Trina Solar Ltd. (TSL) came closest to warranting a full analysis. It has a bullish ranking from Zacks and its options are liquid enough for me to trade.
However, as the chart below shows, TSL has clearly entered a correction of its rise from August. The present wave B to the upside will, under Elliott rules, be followed by a wave C the downside.
C waves can be quite devastating, so I decided to set TSL aside.

The principal practitioner of Elliott wave analysis is Robert Prechter at Elliott Wave International. His book, Elliott Wave Principle, is a must-read for people interested in this form of analysis, as is his most recent publication, Visual Guide to Elliott Wave Trading.
