POST-SPLIT

Play Date: 11/09/2002
EXPD (Expeditors Intl.--$33.9; -0.1; optionable): Air delivery & freight
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/e/expd.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. EXPD is showing some big upside volume spikes the past two weeks as the stock moves laterally below 34 and climbs the 10 day MVA (33.60). It is marching up the short term MVA after making its breakout in mid-November. These volume spikes are what we call 'get ready' spikes, meaning that the stock is under accumulation as it continues its lateral move. Looking for a big breakout here. This is another example of the economic recovery showing up in economically sensitive stocks; EXPD has rallied well, but is now preparing to rally again. That indicates stocks appear ready to price in more economic recovery.
Volume: 1.284M Avg Volume: 610K
BUY POINT: $32.08 Volume=750K Target=$38 Stop=$32.45
POSITION: URP BF - Feb. $30c (62 delta) or URP EF - May $30c (62 delta, low OI) and/or Stock

Play Date: 12/09/2002
JEC (Jacobs Engineering--$36.12; 0; optionable): Heavy construction
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/j/jec.html
STATUS: Cup w/handle. Very solid as JEC continues to work laterally over the 10 day MVA (35.75) in the handle to its 7-month base. Money flow continues to move up as the stock trades sideways on lower and lower volume. Very promising pattern, and we are waiting for that breakout.
Volume: 170.9K Avg Volume: 290.227K
BUY POINT: $36.75 Volume=465K Target=$42 Stop=$34.18
POSITION: JEC DF - April $30c (80 delta, low OI) and/or Stock

Play Date: 11/09/2002
TEVA (Teva Pharmaceutical--$38.75; -0.05; optionable): Drugs
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/t/teva.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. As with many stocks, TEVA moved up well in November, and is now moving laterally over the 18 day MVA at 38.35. Volume is predominantly below average on the move as it repeatedly tests 38 on the low and rebounds to close over the 10 and 18 day MVA. Very solid, tight trading range indicative of few sellers as the stock moves laterally. Waiting for a strong volume move out of this trading range to enter new positions.
Volume: 1.188M Avg Volume: 1.8M
BUY POINT: New: $39.35 (orig. $36.85) Volume=2M Target=$42.51 Stop=$37.35
POSITION: TVQ CU - Mar. 37.50c (62 delta) and/or Stock

Current. Had a decent week, rising off the 18 day MVA, but needs more volume to clear the recent high at 38.

PPD 11/14 Test BO 27.2 -0.7 25.51 30.55 488K 450K 26.25
Current. Tested below the 18 day MVA and then recovered to hold that level. Higher volume is an alert, but this is an early leader and we will give is some room.
