stock recommendation, stock investment information
Begin part 2 of 2
Continuing that look ready:
Play Date: 04/09/2003
PPDI (Pharmaceutical Product Dev.--$25.79; -1.11; optionable): Medical labs
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/p/ppdi.html
STATUS: Put. PPDI rallied back from its early April plunge, but it tanked hard Wednesday on rising, above average volume. It managed to close at the 200 day MVA (25.74), but it hit its short term downtrend from February and started back down. The stock has undergone heavy distribution and money flow has really tanked. Looking for a breakdown through the 200 day.
Volume: 1.179M Avg Volume: 753.763K
BUY POINT: $25.45 Volume=950K Target=$21.55 Stop=$26.12
POSITION: PJQ QE - May $25p (-49 delta)
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ci/ppdi.html
Play Date: 04/14/2003
SYMC (Symantec--$40.39; +0.29; optionable): Internet software
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/s/symc.html
STATUS: Put. Very tight doji at the 18 day MVA (40.42) as SYMC moved over that level Wednesday but then fell to close back below it. This has been a very low volume recovery, and the moves have been failing at the 18 day. Looking for it to roll down from here on some rising volume.
Volume: 3.329M Avg Volume: 5.96M
BUY POINT: $39.65 Volume=6M Target=$36 Stop=$40.88
POSITION: SYQ SH - July $40p (46 delta)
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ci/symc.html
