THE PLAYS

Good movers: DVN; EPAY; ICON; KOMG; PPD; THQI; XTO

NEW PLAYS:

Upside:

Play Date: 07/07/2005
CCC (Calgon Carbon--$9.76; +0.34; no options): Products to purify, separate & concentrate liquids
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/c/ccc.html
STATUS: Test breakout. Looked at CCC earlier in its 7 month flat base that formed along the 50 day EMA (8.91). Tuesday it blasted higher on volume, making the breakout move. Wednesday was a low volume day of rest and then Thursday CCC was back up, moving on strong volume once more. Strong 10 to 4 accumulation in the base set up the breakout move (10 up price weeks on rising volume to 4 down price weeks on rising volume). Great blast off on strong volume and a relative strength breakout, a good corroboration of the move. Strong money flow is leading higher and CCC is rallying to follow it.
Volume: 457.2K Avg Volume: 156.885K
BUY POINT: $9.88 Volume=235K Target=$11.35 Stop=$9.47
POSITION: - Stock (no option chain)

Play Date: 07/07/2005
MUR (Murphy Oil--$55.26; +1.99; optionable): Oil and gas refining
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/m/mur.html
After Hours: $55.88
STATUS: Breakout test. MUR broke out in mid-June from a 14 week double bottom base. It rallied to 55 and then started a lateral move over the 18 day EMA (53.04). Thursday volume surged well above average as it tapped the 18 day and then rallied for a very nice gain. Solid 5 to 3 accumulation has set up the breakout and the continued run. Looking for continued volume as MUR continues the move higher. Solid leader in the energy sector which is a leading sector itself.
Volume: 1.722M Avg Volume: 883.727K
BUY POINT: $55.42 Volume=1M Target=$60.55 Stop=$53.03
POSITION: MUR JK - Oct. $55c (55 delta)
