Wednesday's Agenda

This will be a challenging day. Out of 13 prospects, nine continue to merit further analysis.

That's a lot of trades for a single day, just in the time required for analysis and the clumping that harms time diversification.

Moreover, we're now deep in earnings season, and my resources are almost fully committed. Most of my holdings don't expire until Nov. 20, although I'm exiting positions from that batch as soon as they meet my criteria.

This agenda will line up the day's analyses according to my normal, routine screening. However, I shall be finding ways during the day to further cull the herd according to criteria that I don't always use.

EBAY, LVS, KMI, SNDK, MCD, LLY, CAT, LRCX and UA are candidates for further analysis.

DOW, LUV, AXP and UAL each has implied volatility below the 50th percentile of its 12-month range and so won't be analyzed further.

I'll post separately about the culling process later in the day.
