Thursday's Finalists

Of seven symbols under consideration today, one failed confirmation: CIU.

One, BG, met all of my criteria. However, it lacks Weeklys among its options inventory, and so a trade would require me to commit funds as the markets swing into the lucrative earnings season next week. Rather than taking this trade, I'd prefer to reserve my funds for earnings plays.

The remaining five symbols all have options that are too illiquid to support a hedged and leveraged position of the sort I prefer.

Bottom line: I plan to open no new positions based on signals from Wednesday's markets.
