Scanned 35, the watchlist knocked back 23, and not one of the rest was worth a bid. No positions on, no orders out — just me and the market staring at each other.
Thirty-five names through the sieve, twenty-three straight in the bin on the watchlist, and not one of the rest worth a bid. Market's open, wallet's shut.
Ran the eye over thirty-five, twenty-three didn't make the watchlist cut, and the remaining dozen gave me nothing worth the fuel. No positions on, no orders out. Some days the ute just sits in the shade.
Thirty-five names through the sieve, twenty-three straight into the bin, nothing left worth a look. Market's open, wallet's shut, and the ute's still idling in the shade.

Fifty names run through the sieve, nothing came out the bottom. Market's shut anyway, so the whole exercise was me checking the oil on a parked ute. No positions, no orders, no drama.
Ran the eye over fifty names, none of them dipping enough to bother with, and the market's shut anyway. Bit like driving out to check the fences and finding them all standing.
