THE PLAYS

Good movers Wednesday: ADIC; AXP; BRCM; C; EBAY; GSPN; KLAC; SINA; SOHU; TSCO; UNTD

Wednesday Plays:
DCTM: Still very solid in its lateral move.
TSCM: Volume started up but TSCM was not ready to move. Still looks solid.
INSP: Big surge higher intraday could not hold as volume jumped. Still looks good.

Best Plays:
1) FLR: Starting the breakout on strong volume.
2) FLSH: Ready for the next leg.
3) Continuing: DCTM is still very solid. INSP could try again. STX is testing the 10 day MVA with a doji. LUV is showing some volume.

New Plays:

Upside:

Play Date: 06/04/2003
FLR (Fluor Corp.--$36.48; +1.7; optionable): Technical services
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/f/flr.html
STATUS: Cup. This is FLR's second small cup since coming off the bottom in October. It has moved laterally the past 9 weeks over the 50 day MVA (34), putting in solid 3 to 1 accumulation (3 up weeks on rising volume to 1 down week on rising volume) during that time. Wednesday FLR was up sharply on a strong, above average volume jump in trade. Looking for the stock to clear the April high to move into positions.
Volume: 800.1K Avg Volume: 695.954K
BUY POINT: $36.96 Volume=1M Target=$44 Stop=$34.45
POSITION: FLR JG - Oct. $35c (63 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cd/flr.html

Play Date: 05/10/2003
OVRL (Overland Storage--$18.15; +0.55; optionable): Data storage devices
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/o/ovrl.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. OVRL has turned the test of its breakout from the January to April cup with handle into a 6-week cup, holding over the 50 day MVA (16.75) on the lows. Solid 3 to 1 accumulation in this lateral move, and Wednesday volume started to jump higher on strong, above average volume. Money flow continues to move up ahead of price, and we are looking for another volume move to hold near the close.
Volume: 223.05K Avg Volume: 105.545K
BUY POINT: $18.58 Volume=150K Target=$22.34 Stop=$17.28
POSITION: QOJ HW - Aug. $17.50c (61 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cd/ovrl.htm

Continuing plays that look good:

Play Date: 05/22/2003
FLSH (M-Systems Flash Disk--$11.31; +0.19; no options): Memory chips
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/f/flsh.html
STATUS: Testing the 10 day MVA. FLSH broke out in May and made one 10 day MVA test 2 weeks later. It shot higher and is now making its second such test, moving laterally the past 5 sessions on lower volume. The 10 day MVA (10.88) is rising to meet it; when it does that typically touches off the next bounce higher. We are looking for that to take some new positions.
Volume: 162.682K Avg Volume: 183.727K
BUY POINT: New: $11.48 (orig. $10.55) Volume=225K Target=13.75 (orig. $12.75) Stop=$10.15
POSITION: - Stock (no option chain)
