NEW PLAYS:

Upside:

Play Date: 11/22/2003
GGAL (Grupo Financiero Galicia--$6.10; +0.51; no options): Foreign bank holding company
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/g/ggal.html
STATUS: 50 day MVA test. GGAL broke out from a 15 week base in early October, rallying to 6.50 on the breakout run. It has now come back to the 50 day MVA (5.52) on lower volume and then blasted off Friday on a nice shot of above average volume. Accumulation in the base was a solid 5 to 2 (5 up price weeks on rising volume to 2 down price weeks on rising volume), setting the foundation for a solid breakout and run. This 50 day MVA test was the first test of the move, leaving plenty of upside ahead. We had our eye on this one during its base and let it get away; this is the next great entry point.

STATUS: Ascending triangle. JNPR is at the 50 day MVA (17.24), ready to start another leg higher in its 14 week base. It has been makign a series of higher lows along the 50 day with a constant top at roughly 19. Accumulation in the base is excellent at 5 to 0. There are a lot of things to like about this pattern: triangle, 50 day MVA test, doji on the candlestick chart. Looking for it to make that bounce higher over the short term MVA (10 and 18 day MVA at 17.81) on a strong volume surge.

Wednesday it showed a doji at the level and then jumped up Thursday on a strong volume shot. Momentum continued Friday but volume backed off. Accumualtion is a solid 25 to 18 in the base. Rallying money flow and relative strength ready to breakout. A long term winner that took a long breather and now looks ready to start anew.

It is stepping higher but has pulled back this past week testing the breakout. Volume has backed off as it has come back to test that big breakout. Thursday and Friday it showed dojis on the candlestick chart as it tests the 18 day MVA (7.94). Super money flow and relative strength. Looking for it to rebound from here on rising volume.

It is holding onto its gains as it does, moving in a tight and flat lateral move over the 10 day MVA (6.40). The 10 day MVA is rising to meet the stock, and when it does that typically sets off the next move higher. Huge money flow and relative strength broke out on the breakout move. The next volume break higher is the next entry point.

STATUS: Double bottom with handle. Coming back to test the breakout, holding at the 18 day MVA (14.96), the level it should hold on this test.

A solid base with great money flow and relative strength.

http://biz.yahoo.com/p/t/teo.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. TEO broke out of a 4 month cup with handle base in late October, rallying sharply on solid volume. As the market waffled the past two weeks, TEO slid back to the 18 day MVA (7.84). Volume was low, however, indicating little selling. Friday volume screamed back up as TEO moved off of the 18 day. Looks ready for the next leg up after testing the breakout. Surging money flow and excellent relative strength.

STATUS: Testing the breakout. Another big doji at the 10 day MVA (4.80) Friday as TRFX continued the breakout test, reaching down below the 18 day MVA and then rebouding on a solid increase in volume. Looking for the next move higher to move into positions on this stock that has come to life. It all started with the breakout from an 8 month base in October. It rallied well, peaking recently at 5.45. Looking for some above average trade on a continued move to step in as it continues the breakout move.

WMS (Williams Industries--$25.82; +0.85; optionable): Gaming machines
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/w/wms.html
STATUS: Double bottom with handle. WMS is trying to breakout from its 11 week base sporting excellent 5 to 1 accumulation (5 up weeks on rising volume to 1 down week on rising volume). This is one we had on our list, and Friday saw it making a big volume move on word that one of its platforms received approval.

http://biz.yahoo.com/p/a/askj.html
STATUS: Put. ASKJ has rallied to tap the 10 day MVA (18.22) and looks as if it is failing and ready to move lower in its downtrend. Still a buy at this point as it looks as if it is going to fall further than 16 on this move.
