Earns Prospects 10/11-10/14

Out of 59 earnings announcements on my list for Oct. 11 through Oct. 14, I have found 24 symbols qualifying for a further look during the week. (Monday, Oct. 10, is a market holiday.)

Five have sufficiently liquidity for an options volatility trade, defined as average volume of 3 million shares or greater and options grids for November with sufficient open interest on the strike prices I might use in a trade.

action	sym	earns date	am/mid/pm
10/14	BAC	10/17	am
10/13	C	10/14	am
10/12	DAL	10/13	xm
10/13	JPM	10/14	am
10/13	WFC	10/14	am

There are 22 with a sufficiently high expectations (neutral or better) to support a bull play using shares under my small-lots approach.

10/12	MYCC	10/13	am
10/12	PACW	10/13	am
10/13	PNC	10/14	am
10/12	VAC	10/13	am
10/12	WGO	10/13	am

Final trading decisions will be made on the action date, the date when I will make a final decision about a symbol and, perhaps, place a trade.
