DG, a bear signal, is on the supplemental list. Its "survival" is akin to a World Cup player getting a red card and then being told, "You look like an OK guy. Why don't you go on and play anyway."
The supplemental list ignores the odds requirement for bear signals, as long as the symbol is liquid enough for a bear play. It recognizes the fact that the number of symbols available for bearish positions is limited, since only very liquid stocks can be sold short or traded through a bearish options position.
DG is trading still lower today and appears to have entered into a major downtrend after peaking on June 9. It is rated neutral by Zacks, the service I use as a short cut for my fundamental analysis.
I think it's worth a closer look, despite having only a 25% success rate on bear signals over the past year. I'll be posting a full analysis of DG prior to the closing bell.
See "Wednesday's Prospects" for a full description of my first round of analysis.
