Dave,

Would you telling us why some of the at the open stocks are bolded and others are not. Is it because they might be at a key critical junction like a potential flag bounce or a momentum shift in a candle formation? Maybe close to a trade above high of low day or trade below low of high day?

This is not a request for a comment on each one individually, just a general comment on your decision to bold stocks in general.

Thanks
Don
