THE PLAYS

In each report we prepare full write-ups for those that look ready to move. If the move has been made already we discuss the play in the summary table. The purpose is to focus on the next good movers. New pre-announcement plays are found in that section.

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

Play Date: 11/24/2003
CBRL (CBRL Group--$40.25; +0.36; optionable): Restaurants
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/c/cbrl.html
STATUS: Cup w/handle. This could turn into a nice pre-announcement for us. Working on a three week handle to a 20 week base showing some solid 5 to 3 accumulation (5 up price weeks on rising volume to 3 down price weeks on rising volume). The handle has come back to test the 18 day MVA (39.83), holding that level as volume starts to spike above average the past week. Solid money flow. This place always seems packed.. Looking for volume to spike on the breakout move.
Volume: 649.217K Avg Volume: 503.727K
BUY POINT: $41.58 Volume=756K Target=$49.92 Stop=$39.96
POSITION: CBQ CH - Mar. $40c (56 delta) &/or Stock

CONTINUING LEADER PLAYS

Upside Leader Plays: These are stocks that have formed up well and can make us money. Not necessarily split stocks, but some can turn into split plays.

Play Date: 11/24/2003
VARI (Varian--$40.62; +1.34; optionable): Contract electronics manufacturing
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/v/vari.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. Looking ready for the next move. VARI shot out of a 4 month cup base to start the month, the base showing solid 6 to 2 accumulation. Volume on the breakout was huge and relative strength broke out as well. Strong money flow is also leading the stock higher. The past three weeks it has consolidated the breakout form the base, moving in a small ascending triangle over the 10 day MVA (39.35). Solid volume last week, and then VARI was jumping off the 10 day Monda on rising though below average volume. Looks ready to make the bigger breakout.
Volume: 178.985K Avg Volume: 213.5K
BUY POINT: $40.85 Volume=260K Target=$49 Stop=$39.22
POSITION: IUA BH - Feb. $40c (60 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cs/vari.html

Play Date: 11/04/2003
TVIA (Tvia--$2.59; -0.04; no options): Semiconductor integrated circuits
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/t/tvia.html
STATUS: Testing the breakout. TVIA surged last week on the strong breakout on strong volume. It then fell back on low volume to end last week, but held the 10 day MVA (2.55), showing dojis Friday and Monday. Monday volume moved up toward average as the stock held and rallied to hold over that level. Strong money flow and a relative strength breakout. Ready to continue the breakout move.
Volume: 100.226K Avg Volume: 176.818K
BUY POINT: New: $2.72 (orig. $2.62) Volume=219K Target=$3.34 Stop=$2.38
POSITION: - Stock (no option chain)
