I shall analyze GILD on Tuesday as a potential earnings play.

MDLZ qualifies on liquidity and options-grid coverage but falls short on implied volatility which stands in the lower half of both the annual range and the most recent broad move. I shall check it again after the opening bell, but unless IV improves, I shall do no further analysis of MDLZ.
