Both symbols from the large-/mid-cap list -- EOC and CAG -- moved back within their 20-day price channels, thereby failing to confirm their bull signals.
PXLW on the small-cap list and ACGBY, which trades over the counter, also failed confirmation.
That left four small-cap issues: A bull signal on SRLP and bear signals on UMH, ISSI and EXPO.
As is common with small-caps, the three bear signals have insufficient open interest on their options for me to use htem in onstructing a bear position.
The final survivor, SRLP, has only been trading for eight months. I require at least a year of history before I'll trade a symbol.
There were no large-cap bear signals on my supplemental list, making the day a total strike-out. I won't be analyzing any stocks or funds from the shorter-term prospects lists today.
