Tim Sykes weekly watchlist: TLRA, ZIOP, AVID

TLRA: Releases earnings before the market open on the 6th (Tuesday) and has been on a slow breakout month after month. Also will be presenting at a conference on Wednesday. Rated by ETrade's TipRanks Analysts Consensus as a "moderate buy"

ZIOP: Releases earnings on the 8th (Thursday). Recently broke through its two year high and came down on Friday so it's set up for a breakout if earnings and volume provide. Also rated as a "moderate buy" by ETrade's TipRanks Analysts Consensus.

AVID: A little pricy for me but is releasing earnings after market close tomorrow. The company is also presenting at two big conferences on the 7th and 8th. Primarily watching this one at first.

Tim Bohen watchlist: APHA & BLDR

APHA: Although I missed on this ticker last week, it did really well on Friday with its earnings release. All technical levels are aligned... this may be the move if SPY starts trending back

BLDR: not as volatile of a sector but it did well on Friday. A bit too pricy of a stock for me right now. Looking for a weak open red/green setup for entry.

Other earnings releases this week: ACHN, MARK, INFN, WKHS, XELA

ACHN: This former runner will release earnings on the 8th (Thursday)

MARK: Releasing earnings on the 8th (Thursday)

INFN: Didn't move much last week but is releasing earnings on the 7th (Wednesday) so keeping an eye on this one. Has been up-trending since mid-July but hasn't been too hot all year.

WKHS: This former runner went up a dollar over the course of last week and is releasing earnings on the 6th (Tuesday) 30 minutes after trading opens for the day with estimates down -0.37. Historically this company doesn't do so well with earnings like this... Could be a good short since it's up right now. Chart is set up for a possible breakout with the right releases and volume.

XELA: releases earnings on the 8th (Thursday). While this company has been trending downwards the last couple years, the earnings estimates are at their best... Listed as a "moderate buy" by ETrade

Primarily focusing on the tickers that are releasing Tuesday and Wednesday... mid-week trading has been the trend for months. Also APHA ... it's set up so beautifully.
