Friday's Prospects: Round 2

Eight of the 25 symbols that survived my first round of analysis failed confirmation in the second round because their prices moved back within their 20-day price channels. Six more failed because their charts weren't aligned with the trading signals, showing faltering prices despite the bull signals. One, TRQ, had insufficient open interest on its options to support a bear play and in fact it slipped through the first round of analysis in error.

(See "Friday's Prospects") for details of my first round of analysis.)

That left 10 contenders, all with bull signals and all with bullish or near-bullish charts: TSN, CE, M, PKG and AMSG from the mid-/large-cap list, IG, REI and HA from the small-cap list, and HYPMY and CHEUY from the over-the-counter list.

My next stop was Zacks Investment Research, where I learned that of the 10, only one symbol had a bullish rating.

That one symbol is HA, and I shall write an analysis of it today as a potential bull play under my shorter-term rules, posting it prior to the closing bell.
