Begin part 3 of 3

Play Date: 11/13/2003
HAR (Harman Intl.--$124.20; -0.17; optionable): High end audio equipment. Splits 2:1 on 12-5-03
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/h/har.html
STATUS: Test breakout. HAR jumped off 120 Wednesday and rallied to the 10 day MVA (124.60), but that is all it could muster. It showed a doji at that point on strong trade. Not that great of a technical indication, but this stock has so much strength it can push right through that level. Momentum, but that is what pre-split plays are made of.
Volume: 379.5K Avg Volume: 317.049K
BUY POINT: $125.25 Volume=325K Target=$133.55 Stop=$122.88
POSITION: HAR AE - Jan. $125c (50 delta)

Play Date: 11/09/2003
KSWS (K-Swiss--$42.9; -0.9; optionable): Athletic shoes and apparel. Splits 2:1 on a date to be announced.
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/k/ksws.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. KSWS fell back to the 18 day MVA (42.73) Friday after a decent move up off of that level during the week. Volume was very low on the pullback. Holding at this point also keeps the breakout intact, holding over the left side of the pattern at 42. Need to see more volume as it moves back up off the 18 day this week.
Volume: 55.498K Avg Volume: 184.056K

IGT (International Game Technology--$33.12; +0.12; optionable): Video poker, etc.
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/i/igt.html
STATUS: Testing the 18 day MVA. IGT is making a relationship with the 10 day MVA (32.93), holding that level the past four sessions on low volume. This move is testing the strong run higher, holding at near support. Looking for another run higher off of this near support level.
Volume: 1.439M Avg Volume: 2.52M
BUY POINT: New: 33.55 (orig. $29.05) Volume=4.7M Target=$39 (orig. positions $34.55) Stop=$32.75
