Thursday's Finalists

Eleven symbols are under consideration today as potential trades. (See "Thursday's Prospects" for a description of the early rounds of screening.)

One, RWLK with a bear signal, has no options and so should not have made the finals.

Four failed confirmation by moving back within their 20-day price channels: AMZN, EWP, MRKT and PPG.

Five have insufficient open interest on their options to provide leverage and hedging ability in a position: RYAM, IPXL, CHUY, SMH and BTI.

That leaves BHP as a potential bear play.

Although BHP broke below its 20-day price channel, the price remains above resistance on the chart, at $42.92. Pending a break below that level, I am adding BHP to my Watchlist with the following alert:
  • BHP, <42.92
I plan no further analysis today based on Wednesday's markets.
