See "Monday's Prospects" for the full list of first-round survivors and a description of the first-round analytical process.
In the second round, two symbols failed confirmation and three had insufficient open interest to construct a bear play.
That left LB from the mid-/large cap list and two from the supplemental list, VOD and M.
All three have charts that can be construed as the opening steps of a downtrend, M less so than the other two.
My next step was to look at the Zacks ratings to try to distinguish between the three. Zacks is bullish on M, making the potential bear play contrarian, and neutral on LB.
VOD has a bearish rating from Zacks, and also has higher average trading volume than the others.
I shall write a full analysis of VOD and post it prior to the closing bell today.
