New Leader Play:

Play Date: 08/31/2005
MDT (Medtronic--$57; +1.05; optionable): Medical appliances
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/m/mdt.html
After Hours: $56.99
STATUS: Breakout test. Nice test of the breakout from a 22 week cup with handle base that formed using the 200 day SMA (52.09) as support. It broke out in mid-August and rallied to 58. It made a quick test of the 18 day EMA (55.60) on the Tuesday low and then rebounding on strong volume. Strong 8 to 3 accumulation in the base (8 up price weeks on rising volume to 3 down price weeks on rising volume) shows plenty of buying to support the breakout and run higher. Nice test and good volume jump higher Wednesday. Ready to move in as it breaks through the recent highs at 30.

New Pre-Announcement Play:

Play Date: 08/31/2005
GENZ (Genzyme--$71.17; +1.68; optionable): Biotechnology
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/g/genz.html
After Hours: $71.17
STATUS: Test 50 day EMA. GENZ broke out in mid-July on a massive surge higher from 60 to 75. It has spent all of August testing that move, making an orderly slide back to the 50 day EMA (68.12) on low, below average volume. Volume started to kick higher this week, and Wednesday it moved up to average as GENZ jumped higher off the 50 day. Strong money flow is leading the way higher and we are ready to move in as GENZ continues the move higher.
Volume: 2.678M Avg Volume: 2.749M
BUY POINT: $71.77 Volume=3.5M Target=$80 Stop=$69.84
POSITION: GZQ AN - Jan. $70c (55 delta) &/or Stock
