Begin Part 2 of 2

THE PLAYS

Good moves: FOX; GRMN; PIXR; QCOM; SFNT; TSCO; ZQK

Plays for Monday:
KWD: No breakout but still a solid handle with volume moving up above average.
ROK: Made the move!
PENN: Last gasp doji.
ANT: Ditto. Tried to clear the 18 day MVA but failed.

Best Plays:
1) AVID: Straining at the reins.
2) CREE: Looks ready to resume after a 50 day MVA test.
3) Continuing: EBAY still looks solid. AGI showing a doji at the 18 day MVA. KWD is still super. DSCO trying to make the move. PRA just needs some volume.

New Plays:

GPS (The Gap--$16.3; +0.6; optionable): Groovy apparel
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/g/gps.html
STATUS: Cup w/handle. Okay, lose the hooded sweatshirts and the zippered flannels with Morgan Fairchild unzipping. The Gap has had its share of problems times two, but it changed management and has put together a solid 7-month base with accumulation at 7 accumulation weeks (up weeks on rising volume) to 6 distribution weeks (down weeks on rising volume). Relative strength is ready to breakout and so is GAP. This may not be the stock we go to the grave with, but it is setting up for a nice move higher that can put money in our pockets. That is the name of the game.
Volume: 5.451M Avg Volume: 6.548M
BUY POINT: $16.81 Volume=9M Target=$20.15 Stop=$15.63
POSITION: GPS FC - June $15c (68 delta) and/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cd/gps.html

Revisited: Many, many great plays setting up on current plays.

Play Date: 12/07/2002
AVID (Avid Technology--$19.4; +0.55; optionable): Consumer electronics
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/a/avid.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. AVID was an early leader and it is in a 3-week lateral test of its breakout. After closing on the 18 day MVA Friday with a doji, AVID jumped up Monday on some rising though still below average volume. Flexing its muscles and looks ready for the next move up.
Volume: 256.327K Avg Volume: 304.363K
BUY POINT: $19.65 Volume=500K Target=$23.65 Stop=$18.05
POSITION: AQI FW - June $17.50c (71 delta, low OI) and/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cd/avid.html

Play Date: 12/10/2002
CREE (Cree, Inc.--$20.54; +1.4; optionable): Chip equipment
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/c/cree.html
STATUS: Testing the 50 day MVA. CREE was an early leader as well, and it ran up the short term MVA and then tested the 50 day MVA as is rather normal. It did not form the head and shoulders type pattern many other techs stocks have formed; more of a pure rest after a solid run. It found the 50 day, moved sideways, and then started up Monday on a solid price jump on rising though still lackluster volume. It can, however, provide a very nice run for us and put money in our pocket even if it is just a holiday rally.
Volume: 2.177M Avg Volume: 2.789M
BUY POINT: New: $20.74 (orig. $19.65) Volume=4.1M Target=$24.25 Stop=$18.27
POSITION: CVO FW - June $17.50c (69 delta, low OI) and/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cd/cree.html

Play Date: 12/12/2002
JBHT (JB Hunt Transportation--$29.66; +0.45; optionable): Trucking
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/j/jbht.html
STATUS: Ascending wedge. Still working in the wedge that formed after the 5-month cup pattern that started in June. JBHT continues to move laterally hold the 10 day MVA 29 on the low each session on very low volume. It is right at the breakout and showing excellent accumulation. Looks ready to make the move.
Volume: 189.07K Avg Volume: 443.863K
BUY POINT: $30.18 Volume=725K Target=$35.25 Stop=$28.07
POSITION: JHQ EF - May $30c (66 delta) and/or Stock
