Friday's Finalist: RL

The New York fashion house Ralph Lauren Corp. (RL) was the sole symbol to survive the first round of analysis, as a potential bear play, and it has also made it through the second round into the finals. (See "Friday's Prospects".)

RL confirmed Thursday's bear signal by trading below its 20-day price channel today. RL's options are liquid enough for use in constructing a bear position, with a bid/ask spread in the single digits. The chart is bearish, in line with the signal, and it has a neutral ranking from Zacks Investment Research, the service I use as a short cut for my fundamental analysis.

There's nothing to hate here at first glance. I intend to post a full analysis of RL prior to the closing bell.
