Thursday's Agenda

Only one of the four potential earnings plays for today have sufficiently high implied volatility to meet my criteria.  The symbol is MAT, with volatility at the peak of its 12-month range.

The other three have fallen below the 50th percentile of the one-year range: HON and SLB in the 40s and GE in the 20s.

I shall do a full analysis of MAT and am passing on the other three without further analysis.
