This week, for options trading, I reviewed nearly 500 symbols in my large-cap stocks and exchange-traded funds, and for share trading, I reviewed more than 1,000 symbols of stocks and funds of all capitalizations. For both I reviewed 77 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 charts signaled by the stochastic-relative strength index indicator, and in anticipation of events ( such as earnings announcements).
| options | shares | |
|---|---|---|
| price channel | N/A | 1 |
| earnings | 0 | 0 |
| volatility | 4 | N/A |
| stochastic-rsi | N/A | 0 |
I shall make final trading decisions on Monday, Sept. 12.

Below are the candidates for analysis.
Options: High IV
| EBAY |
| FE |
| PG |
| VMW |
Shares: Price Channel
| FEIC |
The next earnings season begin in mid-October.
Five symbols at Friday's close were within five percentile of qualifying for a volatility play.
| ABT |
| BMY |
| IBM |
| INTC |
| T |
Although Stochastic-RSI analysis uncovered no symbols that qualified for a trial, the declines of Friday may well lead to dramatic rises on Monday that could well change my assessment. I shall redo the Stochastic-RSI analysis Monday after the opening bell.
