us stock market, stock split
Begin part 3 of 3
Play Date: 08/23/2003
KSWS (K-Swiss--$40.22; -1; optionable): Athletic shoes. Forecast to announce a 2 for 1 split on 10-28-03 in conjunction with earnings. The company has not confirmed this date, but based upon our research this is the date for the release.
BACKGROUND: Last split 2 for 1 split in June 2002 at $45. Before that it announced a 2:1 split on 2-8-99 at a stock price of $46.15. 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/k/ksws.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. KSWS broke out on Tuesday, rallied to 43, and then started to fall with the retailers at the end of the week. it managed to hold at the 10 day MVA (39.93) and price support at 40 Friday. Volume was much lower and back below average on the pullback to test the breakout. This is providing a second chance to get in, but we want to see the stock start back up on a strong, above average volume surge to move in given the weakness retailers were showing to end last week.

Play Date: 08/14/2003
UOPX (University of Phoenix Online--$64.41; -0.74; optionable):: Online education. Forecast to announce a split on 9-22-03 before the market opens in conjunction with earnings.
BACKGROUND: Last announced a 4 for 3 split on 4-5-02 at a stock price of $38.95. The company has sufficient shares for a 2 for 1 split.
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/u/uopx.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. Many education stocks had a rough Friday, but UOPX managed to hold on, tapping the 10 day MVA on the low (63.26) and rebounding for just a modest loss on lower volume. A nice second doji at the 10 day, and we are looking for UOPX to resume its break higher and give us the next entry point.
