Friday's Prospects: Round 2

Updated with non-confirmation and so no plans to do a full analysis of GMK.

GMK, the sole survivor of my first round of analysis, confirmed its bull signal today, continuing to trade above its breakout level. failed confirmation today.

GMK, as it turns out, broke above its 20-day price channel upon publishing earnings, and so comes under the special earnings confirmation rule.

Normally, confirmation means closing the next day beyond the breakout level. In the case of earnings, the symbol must do a double confirmation: Trade the next day, called "reset day", beyond the new 20-day price channel boundary produced by the breakout, and then confirm the day after by trading above the reset day breakout level.

I'm doing no further analysis today due to a scheduling conflict. but shall do a full work up on the symbol over the weekend.

See "Friday's Prospects" for my first-round results.
