Begin part 2 of 2
Continuing plays that look ready:
Play Date: 07/28/2003
IMA (Inverness Medical--$20.9; 0; no options): Scientific & technical instruments
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/i/ima.html
STATUS: Ascending triangle. Another nice tight doji over the 10 day MVA, tapping that level on the low (20.75) and rebounding. Excellent 7 to 3 accumulation in the base, and that sets the foundation for a nice breakout.
Volume: 69.6K Avg Volume: 90.181K
BUY POINT: $21.42 Volume=115K Target=$25.72 Stop=$19.92
POSITION: - Stock (no option chain)
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ci/ima.html
Play Date: 08/02/2003
TKLC (Tekelec--$13.75; -0.11; optionable): Telecom systems
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/t/tklc.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. Showing a nice hammer doji at the 10 day MVA (13.79) on lower and lower below average volume after the nice break higher. This is actually a very nice handle forming to the nice little 9 week base showing solid accumulation and excellent money flow. Just letting the pattern work through and give us a strong breakout. Looks very nice as telecoms are still holding up and are going to be the leaders again on the way back up.
Volume: 196.315K Avg Volume: 693.318K
BUY POINT: $14.78 Volume=1M Target=$17.75 Stop=$13.75
POSITION: KQ KC - Nov. $15c (46 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ci/tklc.html
Downside:
Play Date: 08/06/2003
GNTA (Genta, Inc.--$11.73; +0.06; optionable): Biotechnology
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/g/gnta.html
STATUS: Head and shoulders. GNTA is trying to hang on just below the neckline to the 2 month base at 23. It looks as if it might make one more test of the 50 day MVA (12.32) before rolling back down. Under distribution and the money flow is falling ahead of the stock.
Volume: 581.3K Avg Volume: 1.222M
BUY POINT: Test toward 12.30, then $11.94 on the way back down. Volume=1.1M Target=$9.76 Stop=$12.45
POSITION: GJU UV - Sept. $12.50c (-60 delta)
