Tuesday's Prospects: Round 2

Nine symbols from the regular lists survived my first round of analysis, and there was also one surviving symbol on the supplemental list of high-volume potential bear plays.

All have been found wanting and so have failed the second round of analysis.

ONB and RBGLY failed confirmation.

ABAX, KEP, MCY and WYNMF have charts that, at first glance, are insufficiently strong in the direction of the signal. That is, I can tell immediately that I would find it hard to make the appropriate bullish or bearish case were I to do a full chart analysis.

One, VMEM, was a bear signal that lacks sufficient open interest on its options to use in building a bear position.

That left two from the regular charts, GES and ROP, and SDRL from the supplemental chart.

And all three, while confirming their signals, are moving intraday strongly counter to the direction of the signal. I insist on having momentum in the direction of the signal, and none of these are showing it.

So I'm setting them all aside. I don't intend to write an analysis of any of them today.

A full description of my first round of analysis can be found at "Tuesday's Prospects".
