Begin Part 2 of 2
THE PLAYS:
Good movers: CVH; URBN
In each report we prepare full write-ups for those that look ready to move. If the move has been made already we discuss the play in the summary table. The purpose is to focus on the next good movers.
NEW PLAYS:
Downside:
Play Date: 01/27/2003
KRON (Kronos--$38.77; -0.94; optionable): Business equipment
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/k/kron.html
STATUS: Put. Breaking the 50 day MVA Friday, and after testing the 50 day MVA on the Monday high (40.28) before rolling lower on some rising though still below average volume. We are looking for another test higher if the market tries a rebound Tuesday, and then we will look toe enter on the way back down. Some support at 38, but on another failed attempt at the 50 day, that should not hold the stock up.
Volume: 205.07K Avg Volume: 275.545K
BUY POINT: After a test of 40, $39.24 on the way back down. Volume=325K Target=$35.88 Stop=$40.75
POSITION: KUE OH - Mar. $40p (-47 delta)
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cs/kron.html
Play Date: 01/27/2003
LEH (Lehman Brothers--$54.05; -0.01; optionable): Investment brokerage
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/l/leh.html
STATUS: Put. A big drop from the peak at 60, LEH fell through the 50 day MVA just over 56 and Monday landed at some support at 54, showing a doji at that level. We are expecting a bounce back up to the 50 day (56.33) off of the doji. When the move fails that is where we enter for further downside.
Volume: 2.563M Avg Volume: 2.362M
BUY POINT: $55.45 Volume=2.8M Target=$51.75 Stop=$56.55
POSITION: LEH PK - April $55p (-47 delta) or LEH OK - Mar. $55p (-49 delta)
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cs/leh.html
Upside:
Play Date: 01/27/2003
BRL (Barr Labs--$77.62; -0.91; optionable): Generic drugs
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/b/brl.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. BRL has enjoyed a strong run up the right side of its break, moving to a 52-week high on the move. BRL is now testing that breakout, holding at the 10 day MVA (77.12), pulling back the past two sessions on lower and lower volume. Accumulation is outstanding at 8 up weeks on rising volume to 3 down weeks on rising volume. It is holding up very well and we are looking for this play to run up to the former high at 90; a nice move.
Volume: 461.6K Avg Volume: 604.863K
BUY POINT: $78.58 Volume=875K Target=$90 Stop=$74.55
POSITION: BRL EO - May $75c (66 delta) and/or Stock

CONTINUING LEADER PLAYS
Upside:
Play Date: 01/25/2003
APPX (American Pharmaceutical--$24.99; +0.81; optionable): Drug manufacturing
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/a/appx.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. Monday APPX started up off the test, gathering some above average volume on the way. Intraday it tested lower toward the 10 day MVA at 23, but then started right back up.
A new issue last January, APPX formed a cup base and broke out in October. Since then it rallied and has now formed another shorter 10-week base. It broke out of that four sessions back on a big upside gap and is now testing back on much lower volume. Accumulation in the overall base is excellent at 11 up weeks on rising volume to 1 down week on rising volume.
Volume: 649.725K Avg Volume: 508.59K
BUY POINT: New: up to 25.10 (orig. $24.26). Volume=770K Target=$29 Stop=$22.56
POSITION: AQO GX - July $22.50c (68 delta, low OI) and/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cs/appx.html
DAKT (Daktronics--$15.22; +0.07; optionable): Scientific & Technical instruments
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/d/dakt.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. Still a very nice, tight pattern as DAKT moves laterally just over 15 as it tests the prior breakout. Looking for a solid move up to enter more positions. Solid accumulation and money flow and relative strength has broken out ahead of the stock.
Volume: 93.519K Avg Volume: 94.636K
BUY POINT: $15.38 Volume=150K Target=$18.28 Stop=$14.02
POSITION: QKC GV - July $12.50c (79 delta) and/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cs/dakt.html
Downside
Play Date: 01/25/2003
CHS (Chicos Fas--$17.37; -0.54; optionable): Apparel stores
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/c/chs.html
STATUS: Put. Started down Monday, but could not take out the recent low (17.33), but CHS looks ready to fall further from here. Could provide another bounce up toward 18 from here, but either way looks ready for more downside.
Volume: 891K Avg Volume: 1.122M
BUY POINT: $17.79 Volume=1.2M Target=$14.51 Stop=$18.78
POSITION: CHS OD - Mar. $20c (-67 delta) or CHS QD - May $20c (-58 delta)
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cs/chs.html
Play Date: 01/23/2003
LUV (Southwest Airlines--$12.82; -0.2; optionable): regional airlines
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/l/luv.html
STATUS: Put. Gapped lower then tried to rally up to the 10 day MVA at 13.40 before falling back down on rising, above average volume. Looks like it is going to continue lower after this test of the 10 day MVA. Never did make the bounce up before selling, but it may try once again. On another bounce up toward 13.40 we will look at another entry point.
Volume: 2.731M Avg Volume: 2.16M
BUY POINT: After a test of 13.40, 13.25 Volume=3M Target=$11.51 Stop=$14.15
POSITION: LUV OC - Mar. $15p (-70 delta)
