One, ULTA, failed confirmation by falling back within its 20-day price channel.
The second, ROC, has a three-year daily chart that is insufficiently bullish to support a trade. It gave a signal during an upward retracement but has not demonstrated that it is in an uptrend.
The third, MNK, is the symbol of Dublin, Ireland pharmacy house Mallinckrodt PLC, and I shall post a full analysis prior to the closing bell today.
A fourth symbol, KORS, from my list of innovative companies will also be in the queue for further analysis. If I don't have time for KORS today, then I'll consider it at a laster time.
The three symbols on my calendar as potential volatility pays keyed to earnings -- HRB, HDS and UTIW -- all failed to make the grade for further analysis, and all for the same reasons: Their implied volatility stood below the 60th percentile of the prior rise, and their bid/ask spreads on front-month at-the-money options were in the double digits.
