NEW PLAYS: This section includes new plays from all sections other than pre-announcements.

Upside:

Play Date: 10/13/2003
APPB (Applebees Intl.--$34.42; +0.91; optionable): Restaurants
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/a/appb.html
STATUS: Flat. APPB is making the breakout from a 3.5 month flat base sporting excellent 5 to 2 accumulation (5 up price weeks on rising volume to 2 down price weeks on rising volume). It tried to make the move Thursday but backed off with the rest of the market. Monday it was back at it, rallying on rising, average trade. Great money flow and a relative strength breakout to boot.
Volume: 490.102K Avg Volume: 508.954K
BUY POINT: $34.62 Volume=750K Target=$41.55 Stop=$32.78
POSITION: AQB BG - Feb. $35c (47 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cs/appb.html

Play Date: 10/13/2003
IFIN (Investors Financial Services--$35.07; +1.17; optionable): Financial services
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/i/ifin.html
STATUS: Reverse head & shoulders. IFIN is making the breakout from a 14 week pattern showing excellent 6 to 2 accumulation. The positive accumulation indicates that the stock was under accumulation during the base as opposed to distribution. When all of the short term sellers were gone the stock started the breakout move. Monday it was rising, making the breakout on rising, above average volume. Solid money flow and a relative strength breakout as well.
Volume: 605.775K Avg Volume: 574.545K
BUY POINT: $35.38 Volume=862K Target=$42.45 Stop=$32.94
POSITION: FLQ AZ - Jan. $32.50c (74 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cs/ifin.html


PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT PLAYS

Continuing Pre-Announcement Plays:

Play Date: 10/07/2003
KMI (Kinder Morgan--$55.9; +0.7; optionable): Gas utilities. Researching a date, but a nice pattern and volume is surging.
BACKGROUND: Last split 3 for 2 on January 4, 1999.
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/k/kmi.html
STATUS: Cup with handle. Starting toward the breakout with a solid move on rising, slightly below average volume. Looks ripe to make the breakout from its 4 month base with solid 5 to 2 accumulation in the base.
Volume: 438.6K Avg Volume: 496.363K
BUY POINT: $56.12 Volume=744K Target=$67.35 Stop=$54.48
POSITION: KMI AK - Jan. $55c (55 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cs/kmi.html

POST-SPLIT

Play Date: 10/11/2003
PSUN (Pacific Sunwear--$23.9; +0.87; optionable): Apparel
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/p/psun.html
STATUS: Double bottom w/handle. After the test of the 10 day MVA (22.84), PSUN was up Monday on a good price move, but volume was still not there. Nonetheless it looks ready to make the breakout, and we just want to see some better volume on the move.
Volume: 987.124K Avg Volume: 1.954M
BUY POINT: $24.12 Volume=2.3M Target=$28.94 Stop=$22.54
