Begin part 2 of 2

Continuing plays ready:

Play Date: 07/14/2003
FFIV (F5 Networks--$18.26; +0.62; optionable): Internet software
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/f/ffiv.html
STATUS: Flat. Up to the top of the range, but volume is backing off as it makes the move. Usually that indicates it will make another run down in the pattern, but we have the luxury of just waiting for it to breakout of the base before we move in. Strong money flow and accumulation remain in the 7 week base and relative strength is starting to breakout once again.
Volume: 392.396K Avg Volume: 529K
BUY POINT: $18.96 Volume=800K Target=$23 Stop=$17.55
POSITION: FLK JW - Oct. $17.50c (60 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ci/ffiv.html

Play Date: 07/16/2003
XMSR (XM Satellite Radio--$13.9; +0.63; optionable): Satellite radio
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/x/xmsr.html
STATUS: Cup w/handle. Still moving up toward the breakout from the long 19 month base, XMSR surged Monday on a big volume jump, coming close to the breakout on the intraday high (14.15). Excellent money flow and relative strength is heading for a breakot to support the move.
Volume: 7.867M Avg Volume: 6.476M
BUY POINT: $14.25 Volume=11M Target=$17.25 Stop=$13.12
POSITION: QSY JC - Oct. $15c (47 delta) &/or Stock
