Monday's Prospects: Round 2

Of the five major-exchange symbols that survived the first-round of screening described in "Monday's Prospects", the two bear signals are too illiquid to trade, and the three bull signals have charts with a bearish cast.

I next turned to my fall-back group, the high-volume breakouts to the downside that make the list regardless of their historical odds of success.

No joy to be found on that list either. Only BIDU and GILD confirmed their bear signals in trading today, and both have a significant intra-day rise that runs counter to the signal.

Both have charts that seem to be transitioning from a bull phase to a bear, but it is far from certain, and I would want to allow the pattern to work a bit more before considering a trade.
