Monday's Prospects: Round 2

All of my first-round survivors failed to survive the second round, either through non-confirmation or insufficient open interest on their options to support a bear play. (See "Monday's Prospects".)

I next turned to my secondary selection of potential trades, a subset of the large caps that are highly liquid, have given bear signals and haven't been screened for their historic odds and yields.

I've selected the sports shoe company Nike Inc. (NKE) for a full analysis today as a potential bear play and will post the write-up prior to the market's closing bell.
