Best Plays:

NEW PLAYS:

Upside:

Play Date: 06/19/2003
NGAS (Daugthery Resources--$5.17; +0.5; no options): Oil and gas drilling
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/n/ngas.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. NGAS blasted out of a nice flat base in May and is now on its second test of the short term MVA (10 and 18 day MVA) on that run. It surged over 6 on its first bounce and came back Thursday to test the 18 day MVA on the low (4.20). From there it rallied hard to close positive on much stronger volume. Solid 3 to 0 accumulation in the base, and money flow remains outstanding, soaring up ahead of the stock even as it pulled back to test. Looks ready with this volume move Thursday.
Volume: 534.457K Avg Volume: 189.136K
BUY POINT: $5.28 Volume=285K Target=$6.75 Stop=$4.75
POSITION: - Stock (no option chain)
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ct/ngas.html

Downside:

Play Date: 06/19/2003
PDLI (Protein Design Labs--$15.35; -1.83; optionable): Biotechnology
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/p/pdli.html
STATUS: Put. Biotechs have been hot, but now they air is being let out. PDLI is in the midst of a high volume move lower, breaking through the 18 day MVA (16.33) Thursday. That break was a signal that PDLI is going a bit deeper here and we want to take advantage of the downside momentum as it does. Has plenty of room down to the simple 50 day MVA (12.49), and the momentum will most likely carry it a bit past that level.
Volume: 5.136M Avg Volume: 2.071M
BUY POINT: $15.22 Volume=2.5M Target=$12.22 Stop=$16.38
POSITION: PQI TW - Aug. $17.50p (-71 delta)
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ct/pdli.html

Play Date: 06/19/2003
RKY (Adolph Coors--$51.07; -2.51; optionable): Beer
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/r/rky.html
STATUS: Put. RKY is struggling again, falling below the 50 day MVA (52.75) Thursday on a big volume surge. Money flow is fading, and RKY has been weak a long time, moving laterally below the 200 day MVA (57), trying to rebuild. It looks as if that attempt is going to have another setback.
Volume: 1.117M Avg Volume: 445.409K
BUY POINT: $50.94 Volume=668K Target=$47.06 Stop=$52.45
POSITION: RKY VK - Oct. $55p (-68 delta)

Play Date: 06/04/2003
HYSL (Hyperion Solutions--$36.43; +0.24; optionable): Application software
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/h/hysl.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. Held up even as the market did not, moving laterally over 36 as volume surged above average. Looking for it to come back some towar 35.50, and then we want to see a strong move up from there.
Volume: 1.022M Avg Volume: 753.681K
BUY POINT: New: $36.78 (orig. $33.05) Volume=1.1M Target=New: $44 (orig. positions: $39.66) Stop=$33.22
POSITION: WQE KG - Nov. $35c (60 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ct/hysl.html

Downside:

Play Date: 06/12/2003
AFL (Aflac--$31.3; -0.16; optionable): Accident & health insurance
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/a/afl.html
STATUS: Head & shoulders. AFL has now come back to test the 200 day MVA (31.55) and then rolled over Thursday on once again rising, above average volume. It is still struggling below that level, and this looks as if it could be the last gasp test. Poor money flow and continued distribution.
Volume: 2.741M Avg Volume: 2.075M
BUY POINT: New: $31.12 (orig. $30.78) Volume=2.8M Target=$28 Stop=$31.85
POSITION: AFL TG - Aug. $35p (-82 delta)
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ct/afl.html

Play Date: 06/16/2003
HB (Hillenbrand--$49.93; -0.48; optionable): Personal services
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/h/hb.html
STATUS: Put. A final test of the 50 and 18 day MVA on the Thursday intraday high (50.70), and then HB rolled over on rising, above average volume. Money flow is tanking and the stock is under distribution.
Volume: 166.6K Avg Volume: 143.227K
BUY POINT: New: From here (orig. $49.95) Volume=175K Target=$46.95 Stop=$50.78
POSITION: HB UJ - Sept. $50p (-47 delta)
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ct/hb.html

Play Date: 06/14/2003
XLNX (Xilinx--$26.16; -0.39; optionable): Semiconductors
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/x/xlnx.html
STATUS: Put. XLNX tried to move back to the 50 day MVA, but looks to be failing as it dropped from 27. Volume was back below average, however. WE want to see it move through 26 on a strong shot of volume to enter.
Volume: 8.329M Avg Volume: 9.897M
BUY POINT: $25.95. Volume=13M Target=$22.12 Stop=$27
POSITION: XLQ UY - Sept. 27.50p (-57 delta)
