Next week's earnings plays

Next week I'll be looking at 41 prospective earnings plays screened from 1,847 stocks that will be publishing results.

At first glance it seems likely that low implied volatility will reduce the number of viable prospects further.

Below are the symbols, sorted by action -- the day I shall do the final screening and analysis -- and then by the date and time of day of the announcement.

Elliott wave analysis tracks patterns in price movements. StockCharts has a good explainer. The principal practioner of Elliott wave analysis is Robert Prechter at Elliott Wave International. His book, Elliott Wave Principle, is a must-read for people interested in this form of analysis, as is his most recent publication, Visual Guide to Elliott Wave Trading.
