Firy Monday

General Notes
Today, I had a 'which finger to bite' kind of choice dilemma to solve. If you take a look at the filtered trade candidates list below. Especially, the bold faced ones.
Finally, I managed to make a decision and put on an order. Some rationale behind today's trade:

1. Market order while trading TTC-A? Only 1 contract, no real movement backward.
2. Other clues? best from the possible picks, as it was just clearing it's buying point and trading higher on higher volume.
   

Filtered Trade Candidates for the Day
TTC-A: GRMN, LM, MLM, MICC, (SLB, ACL, TSO)
GAPHV: CHE, CTRP, RIMM, X
