Play Date: 09/10/2003
IRM (Iron Mountain--$34.85; -0.9; optionable): Hard document, file storage
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/i/irm.html
STATUS: Put. IRM just broke through the 200 day MVA (36.10) on some serious volume Wednesday after it failed to recapture the 50 day at 38 back in mid-August. After that test of the 50 day MVA breakdown, it is failing and going into a dive here. We are looking to jump on and ride it lower. There is some support at 34 and it may try a bounce there, but we think there is enough selling to push it back down after an attempted bounce there.
Volume: 1.039M Avg Volume: 275K
BUY POINT: $34.68 Volume=500K Target=$32 Stop=$35.55
POSITION: IRM MG - Jan. $35p (-46 delta)
