Thursday's Prospects: Round 2

Only one of the eight symbols that survived my first round of analysis has made it through the second round: MPLX, a master limited partnership in crude oil based in Ohio.

Half of the symbols either failed confirmation or had faltering momentum. One, BRX, has been traded for less than a year and so ran afoul my rule disqualifying symbols without at least a year's history.

MAIN had an insufficiently bullish chart to consider a play and ALJ has insufficient open interest on its options to use them in constructing a bear play.

MPLX has a bullish chart. Because it is an income play, it would go much better as trade under my longer-term rules, and I'll post an analysis prior to the closing bell considering it in that light.

See "Thursday's Prospects" for a list of symbols that survived my first round of analysis.
