Friday's Prospects: Round 2

Four symbols survived my first round of screening, all with bull signals. (See "Friday's Prospects".)

QQQ and QLD both track the NASDAQ 100; the latter, as an ultra fund, is turbocharged. I'm already in a bear position in the S&P 500, via SPY, and taking a bull position in the NASDAQ seemed to only negate my present holding. So I passed on these two.

EWI, which tracks Italy, seemed at first glance to be nearing the end of a rally within a correction. Also, its options are a bit too illiquid for my taste.

That left International Paper (IP). By my count it remains in an uptrend, although it is presently within a corrective wave of that trend. Looks interesting.

I'll post an analysis of IP prior to the market open on Friday, New York time.
