Monday's Agenda

Out of eight prospects on the cusp of earnings announcements, only two have open interest that is sufficiently high compared to the past year's range to support a trade. They are BABA and HCA, and I shall post analyses today.

The others have open interest in the 50th percentile of the range or lower, and I plan no further analysis: PFE, MRK, RAI, CMCSA, DD and BMY.

I shall look further at four others that gave trading signals on Friday and that are potential covered call or calendar plays: BAC, BBT, SCHW and USB.
