THE PLAYS
Good movers Tuesday: BIIB; CPS; CSTR; GENZ; HELE; JUPM; MRGE; SGMS; STGS; WYNN
NEW PLAYS:
Upside:
Play Date: 12/28/2004
LIFC (Lifecell--$10.65; +0.67; optionable): Biotechnology
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/l/lifc.html
After Hours: $10.66
STATUS: Double bottom w/handle. Volume jumped well above average Tuesday as LIFC rallied hard off the 50 day EMA (9.99), moving to the breakout from its 24 week base. The base formed over the 200 day SMA (9.51), a point where institutions step in to buy or sell it. They bought during this base, setting up the breakout. It is near an all-time high; a breakout will send it to a multiyear high where it has no resistance. A consistent performer and a very nice base setting up the next rally higher.
Volume: 597.827K Avg Volume: 299.5K
BUY POINT: $10.95 Volume=300K Target=$13.22 Stop=$10.22
POSITION: QKL CB - Mar. $10c (56 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ct/lifc.html
Play Date: 12/28/2004
JCOM (J2 Global Communications--$35.25; +0.71; optionable): Outsourced messaging and communications
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/j/jcom.html
After Hours: $35.20
STATUS: Cup w/handle. Taking another crack at JCOM as it has set up well once more, moving laterally the past 5 weeks over the 50 day EMA (32.84) on very low volume, forming the handle to its 15 month base. Accumulation in the base is a strong 15 to 8 (15 up price weeks on rising volume to 8 down price weeks on rising volume), showing solid net buying as the stock consolidated in the long base. It has bumped resistance just over 35 several times during this handle, probing the resistance. Volume started to climb the past three sessions, rising to just about average Tuesday; not bad for a very low volume market. Looking for a break above the recent resistance on solid volume to move into positions.
Volume: 484.539K Avg Volume: 533.454K
BUY POINT: $35.72 Volume=600K Target=$42.88 Stop=$33.88
POSITION: JQF CG - Mar. $35c (52 delta) &/or Stock
