Thursday’s Top Names

Conflicting signals are
again in place tonight, as we
have a


CVR III
buy signal from Tuesday night, but a second
day sell-off keeps pointing out that the most likely path of least resistance
is to the downside.
The majority of better setups are on the short
side. Therefore, lean in that direction, but remember to wait for triggers and
honor your stops.
