Upside:

Play Date: 05/06/2004
HLEX (Healthextras--$13.90; +0.20; optionable): Insurance brokers
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/h/hlex.html
STATUS: Cup w/handle. Excellent pattern has formed the past 20 weeks and is now setting the handle to the base where it shakes out he last sellers as it approaches the old high but then starts to stall. That gets the last frustrated investors out and clears the way for a breakout. Excellent 8 to 3 accumulation in the pattern (8 up price weeks on rising volume to 3 down price weeks on rising volume) has set the foundation for the move and shows us that money has moved in during the pullback. Huge money flow is moving up ahead of the stock, and we are looking for price to follow and give us the breakout. An A+ stock in terms of fundamentals and pattern.
Volume: 449.582K Avg Volume: 184.318K
BUY POINT: $14.34 Volume=300K Target=$17.25 Stop=$13.34
POSITION: HUE IC - Sept. $15c (45 delta) &/or Stock

Play Date: 05/06/2004
NXTP (Nextel Partners--$14.87; +0.06; optionable): Wireless communications
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/n/nxtp.html
STATUS: Cup. We have been watching NXTP for three weeks now. It ahs formed a 4 month base over the 50 day EMA (13.23), really jumping this week after a shakeout in late April. Excellent 6 to 1 accumulation in the base. It has rallied back up to the prior high that started the base and now may move laterally to form a handle to the pattern. We are ready for either a handle where it moves laterally for a few days and then breaks higher or a breakout from here. Either way it is a solid pattern with surging money flow and relative strength already making the breakout.
Volume: 3.565M Avg Volume: 1.967M
BUY POINT: $15.09 Volume=3M Target=$18 Stop=$14.03
POSITION: KTU HC - Aug. $15c (53 delta) &/or Stock

PCSA (Airgate--$19.42; -0.24; no options): Domestic telecom services
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/p/pcsa.html
STATUS: cup w/handle. Very nice 10 week base has formed roughly at the 50 day EMA (17.56), a sign of strong support at this key level. Accumulation in the base is positive at 3 to 2, money flow is solid and moving up ahead of the stock. A very nice, tight handle is forming over the 10 day EMA (19.17) on mostly lower, below average volume. Another A rated stock in terms of pattern and fundamentals.
Volume: 31.981K Avg Volume: 75.727K
BUY POINT: $20.62 Volume=114K Target=$24.75 Stop=$19.12

http://biz.yahoo.com/p/n/nte.html
STATUS: Put. Has been trending lower since December, and then really tanked in late April. It has bounced back up to test the 10 day EMA (18.98), rolling back over after the move Thursday. Looking for a further fall from here to continue the downtrend.
Volume: 1.616M Avg Volume: 893.09K
BUY POINT: $17.12 Volume=1.3M Target=$14 Stop=$19.02
POSITION: NTE RW - June $17.50p (-53 delta)
