Tuesday's Prospects: Round 2

Only three symbols, each from a different class, survived my first round of analysis and none of them made it through the second round. (See "Tuesday's Prospects".)

The mid/large cap survivor, GLPI, has insufficient open interest to support a bear play.

The small cap survivor, WPT, started trading in August 2013. I require at least a year of trading history before I'll open a position in a stock.

And the large cap bear signal from my supplemental list, ATVI, is in an uptrend. True, it is the later stages of the trend, but it isn't at all clear that a downtrend has begun.

Therefore, I have no intention of placing any trades off of today's prospects list.
