THE PLAYS

Good movers Monday: GOOG; PRFT

NEW PLAYS:

New Post-Split Plays:

Play Date: 01/03/2005
BCR (C.R. Bard--$64.87; +0.89; optionable): Medical instruments
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/b/bcr.html
STATUS: Flying plateau. BCR broke out sharply in mid-December, surging from 60 to 64 when it forecast strong 14+% growth in 2005. That broke it out from a 26 week double bottom sporting excellent 5 to 1 accumulation (5 up price weeks on rising volume to 1 down price weeks on rising volume). Strong net buying during the base set up the breakout. Monday it was up on strong volume once more, breaking from a two week laterally move over the 10 day EMA (63.84). Strong money flow and a relative strength breakout as well corroborates the move. Looking to step in on a further break higher on solid trade.
Volume: 926.6K Avg Volume: 567.818K
BUY POINT: $65.32 Volume=725K Target=$74.75 Stop=$63.68
POSITION: BCR DM - Apr. $65c (52 delta) &/or Stock

PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT PLAYS

New Pre-Announcement Plays:

Play Date: 01/03/2005
NKE (Nike--$90.69; 0.00; optionable): Sports apparel, etc. Researching exact date.
BACKGROUND: Last announced a split in 1996 at roughly $100. It has been a long time getting back.
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/n/nke.html
STATUS: Test breakout. NKE exploded higher in mid-December on some very strong earnings results. No split announced with those numbers, but NKE is approaching the $100 dollar level again; not only good for a possible split but also for a nice run to 100 as that level acts as a magnet for strong stocks that clear 90. This is a continuation of the October breakout from a 26 week base that formed using the 200 day SMA (77.06) as support. NKE has come back to test the December break higher, easing back on mostly lower volume. It is holding the 10 day EMA (90.45) on this pullback, an indication of a strong move as the buyers don't want to give up positions the just bought. Strong money flow and relative strength. Volume was up Monday, moving back close to average. Looking for it to jump off this level on strong trade to enter positions.
Volume: 1.112M Avg Volume: 1.208M
BUY POINT: $91.88 Volume=1.2M Target=$100 Stop=$89.25
POSITION: NKE DR - Apr. $90c (48 delta)
