Begin part 2 of 2

Continuing plays that look ready:

Play Date: 08/04/2003
ADI (Analog Devices--$38.25; +0.06; optionable): Semiconductors
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/a/adi.html
STATUS: Cup. ADI continues to hold up well in its 9 week base, selling back Tuesday, but holding the 18 day MVA on the Wednesday low (37.65) and rebounding. Excellent money flow and relative strength. Looks to be biding its time until the current turbulence is over. It needs to show us the strong move, not just sliding past the buy point on lukewarm volume.
Volume: 2.821M Avg Volume: 3.815M
BUY POINT: $40.43 Volume=5M Target=$47.65 Stop=$37.62
POSITION: ADI LH - Dec. $40c (55 delta) &/or Stock

Play Date: 08/04/2003
CSC (Computer Sciences--$42.2; -0.22; optionable): Software, ITS
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/c/csc.html
STATUS: Double bottom w/handle. CSC is forming another rhandle here right on top of the June high, pulling back and showing a tight doji as it does. Strong money flow and solid accumulation in this short base 2 to 0, i.e., 2 up weeks on rising volume to 0 down weeks on rising volume. Relative strength is breaking out already, a strong supporting indicator for the move.
Volume: 1.715M Avg Volume: 1.665M
BUY POINT: $42.88 Volume=2.4M Target=$48.45 Stop=$39.88
POSITION: CSC LH - Dec. $40c (67 delta)
