Upside Plays
Stock Date Play Close +/- Pivot Tgt Vol TgtV Stop
AFAM 10/11 PreAnn 40.02 +0.56 38.94 44.95 399K 450K 37.46
Current. Gapped higher, continuing the strong move higher from Monday though it gave back a chunk, closing at the 50 day SMA. Still room to move higher up to 45.

AGU 10/10 Trnd Rv 40.25 -3.04 41.11 49.75 11M 10M 38.65
Current. Gapped higher nicely, moving over the 10 day EMA (43.87) and then rolled over to close lower on a spike in volume. The sellers moved in. Needs to hold in this 40ish level, the top of the early 2007 base.

CME 10/01 Trnd Rv 398.40 -13.04 414.45 448.00 1.8M 1.8M 391.88
Current. Similar to other stocks, gapping higher and rolling back. The difference: CME tapped the 10 day EMA on the low and bounced off that level. Still in good shape.

DIA 10/06 Trnd Rv 93.67 -1.36 83.57 99.75 53M 35M 91.45
Target Hit. Market gapped higher, started to struggle so took some solid 14% stock & 85% option gain.

FCN 10/11 PreAnn 68.56 -0.06 67.11 77.45 888K 1.2M 62.65
Buy Not Issued. Gapped, turned over to close flat, holding at the 10 day EMA on the low & rebounding. Trying to make a higher low and if it bounces from here it is a buy if it shows some volume on that move.

FCX 10/08 Trnd Rv 40.94 -4.43 45.94 54.95 24M 22M 41.44
Current. A commodity with the textbook play for the day: gapped over the 10 day EMA (44.75) and then rolled back down. Strong volume but lower than the recent upside trade. Want it to hold this 40 range.

IWM 10/06 Trnd Rv 55.38 -1.60 50.28 59.89 131M 155M 54.64
Current. Gapped over the 10 day EMA and then reversed. Managed to close off the low on steady, average trade. Managed to bounce off the low but the small caps were roughed up. Needs to hold here at 55.

JPM 09/29 Dbl btm 40.71 -1.28 44.55 51.88 95M 80M 45.91
Current. One of the anointed, but struggling to hold the line nonetheless, closing just over the 50 day SMA and right below resistance at 42. Needs to show us a break higher here or we close it as it cannot find its footing even with the bank help. Of course JPM doesn't need the help and thus being forced into the plan is not good for it and its shareholders.

MA 10/08 Trnd Rv 174.07 +0.47 168.77 184.45 4.2M 6.5M 168.28
Target Hit. Gapped higher and started to roll over so we took some stock and option gain off the table. Held the 10 day EMA (168.40) and bounced so the remaining positions are still in decent shape.

MANT 10/10 Test 20 52.10 -1.01 50.38 58.88 276K 385K 47.22
Buy Not Issued. Gapped and turned, losing some ground but closing well off the low and holding near the trendline. Will see if it tests a bit lower toward the 200 day SMA (49; may not make it that far) and bounces again.

MON 10/08 Trnd Rv 88.68 -4.96 86.68 99.45 14M 20M 89.44
Current. Gapped, continuing the strong Monday move and the gap that day, but started to waffle after clearing the 18 day EMA (91.71). Managed to hold over the 10 day EMA (87.16) on the close. Lower volume. Not bad at all but want it to hold over the 86 to 87 level.

MOS 10/10 Trnd Rv 39.25 -4.96 40.44 49.45 22M 20M 41.88
Current. Another similar story with a gap higher over the 10 day EMA (44.92) but could not hold it and slid lower on rising volume. This is the range it needs to hold the line.

MU 10/04 Cup 4.51 +0.30 4.95 7.94 35M 30M 4.60
Buy Not Hit. Good session, gapping higher to the 50 day EMA (4.58) and stalling, but filled the gap intraday and recovered on a big jump in above average volume. Right at the 4 week down trendline marking the top of this lateral move. Could be very interesting starting Wednesday.

NDN 10/04 DB hdl 10.08 -0.42 10.42 14.75 1.5M 2.3M 9.69
Buy Not Issued. Lost some Monday ground after gapping higher Tuesday, selling back to some support near 10. Low volume so no heavy selling, and still in good shape to hold and show us a renewed break higher.

PHHM 09/30 DB hdl 8.56 -0.19 10.55 13.75 87K 250K 9.81
Buy Not Hit. Working laterally on much lower, below average volume. Just going to be patient and see if this manufactured home builder can show us the breakout.

POT 10/11 Trnd Rv 98.00 -7.80 93.04 118.00 21M 2.5M 88.94
Buy Not Issued. Big gap higher up to the 18 day EMA (116.75) and then reversed to close lower on stronger volume. Obviously did not enter on this action and thinking this might turn into a good downside play with this action.

QQQQ 10/11 Trnd Rv 33.61 -1.52 32.88 39.31 341M 300M 34.31
Target Hit. Gapped up toward the 18 day EMA and where it gapped lower to start the month, and when it hesitated we decided to pull the trigger on some option gain. Fell below the 10 day EMA (34.57) on rising, above average volume. Large techs were really under pressure today. Needs to hold at 33ish.

QQQQ 10/08 Trnd Rv 33.61 -1.52 33.58 39.31 341M 300M 34.31
Target Hit.

QSII 10/11 Test 20 39.40 -3.19 40.78 46.95 891K 600K 40.68
Current. Big up Monday, bug down Tuesday, hanging on at the 10 day EMA on the close, just below the 50 day EMA (39.63). Hate these sharp reversals of sharp upside moves. The sellers took control so QSII needs to hold near this 10 day EMA support.

RIMM 10/13 Dbl btm 60.12 -3.75 64.32 76.95 38M 30M 61.32
Buy Not Issued. Looked promising as it tested after that early gap higher. Did not implode, holding some support at 60. Volume was up above average. Sixty is a good place for RIMM to hold and try the move again. Still like this small little pattern here after the earnings related September gap lower.

SF 10/11 Test 20 43.81 -0.09 42.84 51.95 335K 550K 40.11
Buy Not Issued. Held up well, tapping the 50 day EMA (42.77) on the low and rebounding to flat at the 10 day EMA. Not bad at all. Will see if it can break higher on volume.

SNDK 10/08 Test 50 16.92 -0.26 18.88 22.95 7M 18M 17.56
Buy Not Hit. Hanging in there, but unable to break back through the 50 day EMA (18.05) yet. Will just let it work through this and see if it can deliver a breakout move.

SPTN 10/13 DB hdl 25.46 +0.11 26.31 30.45 454K 275K 24.47
Buy Not Issued. Gapped then faded to flat. Very good action and still looking at SPTN as it can deliver growth stock performance in a defensive food session.

SPY 10/08 Trnd Rv 99.85 -1.50 88.14 103.00 534M 500M 97.05
Target Hit. Similar story on the day with this gap higher over the 10 day EMA and then started to backslide. Took some 17% stock, 98% option gain.

TSO 09/06 Trnd Rv 11.08 +0.26 19.28 23.95 12M 10M 18.69
Current. Gapped higher, tapped the 10 day EMA (11.82) and stopped. Managed to hold up so we left it to see if it can continue the move. If not we cut the cord.

USB 09/30 Test 50 31.46 +0.21 36.69 42.75 31M 30M 34.31
Current. Trying to get through the 200 day SMA (31.92) and 50 day EMA (32.55).

USNA 10/10 Test 50 42.01 -1.64 42.11 48.48 286K 400K 39.16
Buy Not Issued. Sold back toward the 10 day EMA on the session. Closed in very good shape. Missed earnings by 6 cents after the close. Not likely to have a good session Wednesday.

WFC 09/23 Test BO 33.52 +3.12 36.94 41.85 96M 70M 31.68
Current. Gapped higher over the 50 day EMA (31.82), tapping that level on the low as a test and bouncing higher. Solid trade. WFC is one of 'the nine' picked by the feds and it also received the Fed's blessing on the Wachovia acquisition.

WFC 09/06 Rev HS 33.52 +3.12 33.44 37.95 96M 55M 31.68
Current.

XLF 10/11 Trnd Rv 17.33 +1.05 15.31 18.11 333M 275M 14.24
Buy Not Issued. Gapped higher, hit the 18 day EMA and showed a tight doji on the candlestick. This may be all she wrote on this move.
