New Plays for Thursday:

Upside:

Play Date: 07/23/2003
BRIO (Brio Technology--$3; +0.3; no options): Business software
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/b/brio.html
STATUS: Cup w/handle. BRIO is in the process of breaking out of a 9 week base showing excellent accumulation at 4 to 1 (4 up price weeks on rising volume to 1 down price week on risign volume). Money flow is surging, both before and during this breakout. It reports earnings on Monday, 7-28 before the open; that makes this somewhat aggressive, but the nice price pattern and breakout suggest something positive is up.
Volume: 1.492M Avg Volume: 178.863K
BUY POINT: $3.08 Volume=300K Target=$4.25 Stop=$2.86
POSITION: - Stock (no option chain)

Play Date: 07/23/2003
CORV (Corvis--$1.41; +0.02; no options): Telecom equipment
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/c/corv.html
STATUS: Pennant. CORV broke out of a six month reverse head and shoulders base in May (a pretty common pattern at that time) and surged to 1.75 on the high before stalling out and starting this lateral move to consolidate the storng move higher. The pennant has started to tighten up this month, holding a very tight range along the 18 day MVA (1.40). The 50 day MVA (1.29) has been rising slowly to meet the stock price as it works laterally on very low volume. Accumulatoni remains solid and money flow is moving higher as the stock works laterally. These very quiet, narrow trading ranges lull you to sleep and then they explode higher.
Volume: 1.651M Avg Volume: 7.412M
BUY POINT: $1.55 Volume=11M Target=$2 Stop=$1.38
POSITION: - Stock (no option chain)
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cd/corv.html

ATYT (ATI Technologies--$10.91; +0.23; optionable): Semiconductors
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/a/atyt.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. Broke out of a 7 month cup with handle base in late June, rallied to 11, and is now testing the breakout this month in a lateral move over the 18 day MVA (10.38). ATYT has started to edge higher this week after the test of the 18 day. Volume is edging higher as the stock approaches 11. The next breakout point is over the July highs (11.33). Outstanding accumulation and money flow.
Volume: 2.211M Avg Volume: 2.215M
BUY POINT: New: $11.38 (orig. $9.70) Volume=2.4M Target=New positions: 13.65 (orig. positions $11.88) Stop=$9.74
