THE PLAYS
Upside:
Play Date: 08/04/2008
CFX (Colfax Corporation--$27.62; +1.20; optionable): Fluid handling products (pumps, valves, etc.)
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/c/cfx.html
STATUS: Ascending base. Looking up CFX' old address again as it prepares to breakout from its second base since going public in May. Nice little 4 week base using the 50 day EMA (24.99) on the lows as support. Volatile, but trending higher and moving Monday on stronger, average volume. Strong money flow is leading the stock higher. Looking to move in as CFX makes its move higher. Very solid fundamentals growth rates to go along with the nice pattern.
Volume: 563.87K Avg Volume: 871.985K
BUY POINT: $27.78 Volume=650K Target=$33.45 Stop=$25.84
POSITION: CFX LE - Dec. $25c (69 delta) &/or Stock

Play Date: 08/04/2008
JNJ (Johnson & Johnson--$68.98; +0.88; optionable): Drugs and such
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/j/jnj.html
EARNINGS: 10-14-08
STATUS: Ascending triangle. JNJ is moving in a large 3.5 year triangle, a very solid foundation for a breakout and sustained run higher. This kind of base does not set up very often, and when it does you move in when it makes the breakout and then just let it go. JNJ may not run 10% in a day on its moves, but a breakout from this can propel it to a very nice initial gain that will make us money on the options and then we let the stock position just continue to work for us longer term. That is what a strong breakout from one of these bases can initiate. Volume is solid as it bumps up at the breakout; want to see it turn a bit stronger as it makes the break.
Volume: 13.695M Avg Volume: 11.78M
BUY POINT: $69.44 Volume=17M Target=$78.00 Stop=$67.71
POSITION: JNJ JN - Oct. $70c (50 delta) &/or Stock

Play Date: 08/04/2008
PETS (PetMed Express--$14.14; -0.16; optionable): Mail order pet medicines
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/p/pets.html
EARNINGS: Announced 7-21-08
STATUS: Test breakout. PETS broke out from a 12 month double bottom with handle in July after its earnings announcement and rallied to 15. on the move. Testing back during the market selling the past few sessions, tapping at the 18 day EMA (13.94) on the low and rebounding to flat on rising, above average volume. That keeps the breakout move alive and the test is one of our favorite spots to enter. Looking for the continued move higher on solid trade.
Volume: 406.351K Avg Volume: 298.428K
BUY POINT: $14.66 Volume=450K Target=$17.65 Stop=$13.71
POSITION: TRQ LC - Dec. $15c (51 delta) &/or Stock

New buy point on a current position:
Play Date: 08/04/2008
NSC (Norfolk Southern--$70.15; -0.47; optionable): Railroads
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/n/nsc.html
EARNINGS: Announced 7-22-08
STATUS: Breakout test. Great breakout on its earnings, gapping out of a 7 week cup with handle base on strong volume and rallying to 75 on the high. Tested back in this selling the past three sessions, holding the 10 day EMA on the Monday close. Excellent action from an excellent leader and looking for it to bounce up off of this selling to give us a new entry point on this leader.
Volume: 3.815M Avg Volume: 3.864M
BUY POINT: $71.45 Volume=4.2M Target=$85.45 Stop=$69.21
POSITION: NSC LN - Dec. $70c (52 delta) &/or Stock
