THE PLAYS

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 pre-announcement plays are found in that section.

NEW PLAYS: This section includes new plays from all sections other than pre-announcements.

Play Date: 07/16/2003
IMAN (Imanage--$5.23; +0.33; no options): Internet software and services
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/i/iman.html
STATUS: Cup w/handle. IMAN is working in its own cup with handle, a 15 month base with solid 15 to 10 accumulation. It has spent the past three weeks forming a handle, the lateral and slightly lower move that shakes out the last sellers as they get frustrated the stock has stopped its forward progress. On the pullback it tapped the 18 day MVA (4.83) and held that level on the low. It announced earnings after the close and was moving up on solid volume ahead of that announcement. The move started to break the stock out of the pattern, relative strength breaking out as well, following some strong money flow. After hours IMAN was trading higher, and we are looking to get in on a further breakout.

Play Date: 07/16/2003
XMSR (XM Satellite Radio--$13.1; -0.04; optionable): Satellite radio
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/x/xmsr.html
STATUS: Cup w/handle. Moving in a 16 month base showing solid 17 to 11 accumulation. XMSR tested the 50 day MVA (11.06) in late June and rallied to 14. It is now moving back to test 13 on lower, below average volume. Strong money flow and relative strength in the base. XMSR just inked a deal with Infiniti to put its radio as standard equipment in new vehicles, and our surveys of auto dealers indicate that those getting the option are renewing at a high percentage after the 90-day trial period ends. Looking for a strong volume breakout.

PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT PLAYS

We are putting those pre-announcement stocks that are ready to make moves on the report. As the other pre-announcement candidates reach new buy points we will put them on as well. We want to keep the report focused on those stocks ready to make moves.

Continuing Pre-Announcement Plays:

Play Date: 06/03/2003
TBL (Timberland--$58.19; +0.05; optionable): Apparel, footwear. Forecast to announce a split on 8-20-03 in conjunction with earnings. The company has not confirmed the time of the release.
BACKGROUND: Last announced a 2 for 1 split on 10-11-00 at a stock price of approximately $71. The annual shareholder meeting was on 5-22-03 at which time no additional shares were authorized. The company has sufficient shares for a 2 for 1 split.
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/t/tbl.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. TBL shot higher last week off the 10 day MVA (56.79) and is now moving laterally after that solid move. It needs another session or two of rest, but if the market is ready to go, TBL looks ready to go as well.
Volume: 159.5K Avg Volume: 301.5K
BUY POINT: New: $59.25 (orig. $53.05) Volume=514K Target=New positions: $68; orig.: $60.88 Stop=$55
