BRC confirmed its bear signal but fails on practical grounds. With a 30% bid/ask spread on front-month at-the-money puts, there is no reasonable way I can construct a position out of options that will profit when the stock price falls.
Also, BRC has a bullish rating from Zacks Investvestment Research, the service I use as a short cut for my fundamental analysis. I prefer that the Zacks rating and the signal not be at odds to one another.
See "Thursday's Prospects" for a full description of the first round of analysis.
