Begin Part 2 of 2

THE PLAYS:

Good movers: Puts a plenty hitting the targets.

Monday plays:
DCOM: Tested the 50 day MVA, but recovered and still in the pattern.
JAS-B: Tested the 18 day MVA, but still in the pattern as well.
ATH: Tried to roll down and still looks ready to do so.
SYK: Started to move down on rising volume.

Best Plays:
1) BLUD: Nice consolidation.
2) SRZ: Ready to fall
3) Watchlist: JDSU; INLD

NEW PLAYS:

Upside:

BLUD (Immucor--$23.04; -0.04; no options): Diagnostic substances
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/b/blud.html
STATUS: Wedge. After a strong run following a May breakout, BLUD is forming a small wedge consolidation on top of the 18 day MVA (21.90), testing that level on the lows of two consecutive hammer doji's. The stock has made three moves up the 18 day MVA since the breakout, and we are looking for a strong move up out of this consolidation for another run off of the MVA. BLUD is close to a 10-year high, and it enjoys excellent accumulation with 4 accumulation weeks to 1 distribution week over the last two months. Looking for a strong move up from here to capture this fourth bounce; the later bounces are usually a bit bigger as the stock gets a bit wilder. We will capture the move and take some profits. If it still looks good we will let the rest ride.
Volume: 95K Avg Volume: 178.227K
BUY POINT: $23.55 Volume=267K Target=$28.26 Stop=$21.55
POSITION: Stock (no options)
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cd/blud.html

CREE (Cree, Inc.--$13.4; +1.25; optionable): Semiconductors
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/c/cree.html
STATUS: Momentum. CREE is participating in the momentum in the semiconductor sector, rallying off the bottom of its base Thursday and continuing the move Monday on strong volume. It has not cleared all near term resistance (14), but it is making a good run at it. As the techs continue to rally in this oversold bounce this one is in good positions to make us some money. It is one we can play the stock, but we like the leverage the options give us here.
Volume: 1.955M Avg Volume: 1.484M
BUY POINT: $14.05 Volume=2.2M Target=$17 Stop=$13.07
POSITION: CVO LB - Dec. $10 call (78 delta) and/or stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cd/cree.html

Downside:

SRZ (Sunrise Assisted Living--$24.66; -0.47; optionable): Long term care
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/s/srz.html
STATUS: Tested the 10 day MVA on Friday's high and then sank a bit lower Monday. It recovered off of the low at 23.56 on rising volume, but this sector is weak, and it looks that SRZ is going to sell back down after the whirlwind recovery rally that reversed the entire market starts choosing specific sectors to move back up. We don't think this will be one of them.
Volume: 300.6K Avg Volume: 256.681K
BUY POINT: $24.54 Volume=300K Target=$21.05 Stop=$26.55
POSITION: SRZ TF - Aug. $30 put (-69 delta, low OI)

CUB 07/06 Cup 20.24 +0.97 0 0 178K 0 0
Excellent move off of the 200 day MVA on rising volume. May give a play up to 22 to 24, but at this juncture it would be momentum.

QLGC 07/06 Test 18 42.81 +3.39 0 0 17M 16M 0
Powered higher on some impressive volume, clearing the 50 day MVA in the process. It is a momentum play here, but has the 200 day MVA at 45 to deal with. Can really move when it gets in the game as it did late today.

RCII 07/06 Cup 50.78 +2.06 0 0 758K 0 0
Great earnings report, moving higher on rising volume. Could give it a move back up to 52.50 to 55.
