All but one of the others had options grids unsuitable for constructing a leveraged and hedged position due to low open interest or high bid/ask spreads.
That leaves AAL, a bull signal, as the sole finalist from Tuesday's trading. As I noted on Tuesday in an essay, "Macro Risk: The path not taken", I'm not opening new bull positions because of my assessment of the Federal Reserve's next step and its implications for the markets.
(See "Wednesday's Prospects" for a full list of symbols surviving the early rounds of analysis.)
LUV from my list of innovative companies gave a bull signal and would be suitable for analysis as a bull play under my longer-term rules for shares. However, my allotment for that sort of trade is filled so I'm passing it by.
I plan no analysis today based on Tuesday's markets.
