This week, for options trading, I reviewed 480 symbols in my large-cap stocks and exchange-traded funds, and for share trading, I reviewed 960 symbols of stocks and funds of all capitalizations. For both I reviewed 776 companies publishing earnings.
I use four strategies in my trading, in response to trading signals (such as breakouts above the 20-day price channel), high implied options volatility, and persistently rising trends on a chart, and in anticipation of events ( such as earnings announcements).
The table below shows the association between the datasets and strategy and the number of symbols passing initial screening on Friday, Aug. 5.
options | shares | |
---|---|---|
signals | N/A | 1 |
events | 0 | 11 |
volatility | 3 | N/A |
trends | N/A | 0 |
I shall make final trading decisions on Monday, Aug. 8.

The current earnings season began on July 11 and will last through Aug. 19.
Four symbols are within five percentile of having high enough implied volatility to qualify for further analysis. They are COH, M, SYF and SYY. I already hold a position on SYF.
RSPP publishes earnings on Monday and also broke above its 20-day price channel, giving a bullish trading signal in anticipation of its earnings announcement.
