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 | |
|---|---|---|
| signals | N/A | 1 |
| earnings | 0 | 0 |
| volatility | 0 | N/A |
| stochastic-rsi | N/A | 0 |
I shall make final trading decisions on Tuesday, Sept. 13.

Below are the candidates for analysis for each cell of the quadrant.
Shares: Signals
| EVA |
The next earnings season begins on Oct. 10 with AA's release of earnings.
One symbol, EBAY, is close to qualifying for further analysis as a high implied volatility options play. I shall make a final decision Tuesday morning.
Given the volatility of the markets Friday and today, on Tuesday morning I shall re-check all of the 27 high-beta Stochastic-RSI symbols that failed to make the prospects list.
