stock split, stock recommendation
Begin part 3 of 3
THE PLAYS:
New Post Split Plays: Yes it has been awhile since they split but really like the set ups to move higher.
Play Date: 08/06/2008
PWR (Quanta Services--$32.59; +1.93; optionable): Construction contractors
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/p/pwr.html
EARNINGS: Announced 8-6-08 before the open
STATUS: Ascending base. Strong volume as PWR continued a move off the 90 day SMA (29.63), riding some good earnings as it makes a higher low at that support level that held in early July. A neat little 7 week pattern has formed at the end of a 9 month base, and it has shown great upside volume on the runs higher in the pattern, just as it is doing now. Excellent position for a break to an 8 year high. Ready to move in as PWR continues this break on strong volume.
Volume: 5.574M Avg Volume: 2.627M
BUY POINT: $33.24 Volume=3M Target=$39.95 Stop=$30.91
POSITION: PWR KF - Nov. $30c (58 delta) &/or Stock

Play Date: 08/06/2008
QLGC (Qlogic--$19.36; +0.52; optionable): Storage networking solutions and infrastructure
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/q/qlgc.html
EARNINGS: Announced 7-21-08
STATUS: Flying plateau. QLGC is in a long, long base, the most recent part of it a 1.5 year effort that saw an ugly earnings announcement in July 2007 that crushed it. Since then it has recovered, and this July the earnings were well-received and QLGC broke sharply higher out of a 20 week flat base. Strong surge up to 19, then a two week lateral move, holding the gains as it waited for the 10 day EMA (18.56) to catch up with it. Strong volume Wednesday as QLGC broke higher out of the plateau. Looking to move in as it continues this break higher.
Volume: 7.104M Avg Volume: 4.143M
BUY POINT: $19.52 Volume=5M Target=$23.45 Stop=$18.45
POSITION: QLC JW - Oct. $17.50c (78 delta) &/or Stock

Downside:
Play Date: 08/06/2008
FRO (Frontline Ltd.--$58.49; +2.38; optionable): Shipping
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/f/fro.html
EARNINGS: 8-29-08
STATUS: Head and shoulders. Formed this topping pattern from late May to late July, then crumbled lower to start August, gapping lower Friday and Monday. Held some support at 55 and started the bounce Tuesday, continuing Wednesday on significantly lower volume. May move up to 60.50 to fill that second gap that took it below the 90 day SMA (60.68); that would be the optimal point for it to fail and for us to move in, and if it does we will let it and then move in as it fades back. If it turns back ahead of that, however, we are going to be ready to move in and ride the second tumble lower toward the 200 day SMA (51.50), though there is another gap to fill way down at 48 in mid-April. A move to the initial target lands a 52%ish gain.
Volume: 1.623M Avg Volume: 1.518M
BUY POINT: $58.18 Volume=1.8M Target=$52.00 Stop=$60.75
POSITION: FRO UL - Sept. $60p (-53 delta)
