Thursdays Finalists: HLSS, earns PBR, MSFT, F, and PG

Home Loan Servicing Solutions Ltd. (HLSS), a Georgia company that acquires rights to service mortgages and contracts the actual servicing out to others, was the sole survivor from "Thursday's Prospects", having given a bear signal.

It confirmed the signal and has a bearish chart, but the options won't work to construct a trade. They are required in order to build a bear position. I plan no further analysis based on Wednesday's markets.

Four symbols from my potentials list have imminent earnings announcements. Microsoft (MSFT),  Ford (F), Petrobras (PBR) and Procter & Gamble (PG). In an analysis posted this morning, I rejected F and PBR. I intend to open very-short-term volatility plays on MSFT and PG, if today's trading patterns make it advisable.
