Monday's Outcomes: WDR, CHL

I decided to open a bull position in WDR but put it on the Watchlist after momentum faltered. The price through much of morning, went into a sideways trend, and then resumed its very near term decline an hour before the closing bell. See my analysis, "WDR: Bullish on investor services".

CHL, which has been on the Watchlist since Dec. 19 as a potential bear play, broke below its 20-day price channel on Friday and had downside momentum as the closing bell approached. However, I wasn't able to get a good fill on my bear call spread order and will keep trying until my assessment of the chart changes or I get a fill I like. See my analysis, "CHL: How free is the market".
