On Tuesday and Thursday we issue a market summary and choice plays for the next session. Full reports are issued Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

THE PLAYS

Good movers Tuesday: BBBY; GGNS; GLDN; MER; MTSN;

NEW PLAYS:

Upside:

Play Date: 07/15/2003
$SOX (Philly Semiconductor Index--$401.87; -0.21; optionable): Chip index
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/$/$sox.html
STATUS: Cup w/handle. The semiconductor index continues to work in the handle of its 7.5 month base, butting its head up against a breakout over 407 to 409 on the highs. Many leading chips have the same pattern (e.g., NVLS, KLAC), and we are looking for the overall SOX to follow their lead and make the breakout. It has to hold the move, but if it clears the recent highs we will be ready to enter positions.
BUY POINT: $409.45 Target=$448 Stop=$404
POSITION: SOY HA - Aug. $405c (49 delta)
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ct/$sox.html

Play Date: 07/15/2003
PWAV (Powerwave Technologies--$7.55; -0.4; optionable): Telecom equipment
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/p/pwav.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. PWAV exploded out of a 7 month reverse head and shoulders base in early July. Accumulation in the base was a solid 9 to 4 (9 up weeks on rising volume to 4 down price weeks on rising volume) with excellent money flow and a relative strength breakout to boot. It has come back the past week to test the breakout, holding the 10 day MVA (7.48) Tuesday. Volume was strong on the pullback Tuesday, but it was because PWAV announced a convertible offer. Many strong stocks have done this during 2003 and take an initial hit on the announcement. This has provided very good entry points on these stocks in the past, and we are looking for a similar opportunity here. Still want to see it recover well, howeer, with a solid move up off the 10 day MVA on some good upside trade.
Volume: 5.53M Avg Volume: 1.371M
BUY POINT: $8.12 Volume=2.1M Target=$9.75 Stop=$7.45
POSITION: VFQ KU - Nov. $7.50c (58 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ct/pwav.html

Play Date: 07/15/2003
ORBK (Orbotech--$17.01; +0.11; optionable): Business software
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/o/orbk.html
STATUS: Cup w/handle. Working through a 7.5 month cup with handle base showing super 11 to 3 accumulation and a really nice handle forming in a very tight flat range. Money flow is up ahead of price. What we really like is the way volume has shot higher the past two sessions. Looking for a strong volume breakout.
Volume: 148.805K Avg Volume: 71.954K
BUY POINT: $17.65 Volume=150K Target=$21.22 Stop=$16.41
POSITION: OKQ JW - Oct. $7.50c (48 delta) &/or Stock
