THE PLAYS
Good movers: ACL; AVL; CHRWD; CVH; ESRX; HAR; PCP; WIRE
New Post-Split Play:
Play Date: 10/17/2005
AAPL (Apple Computer--$53.44; -0.56; optionable): iPods, Macs, etc.
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/a/aapl.html
After Hours: $53.42
STATUS: Test 50 day EMA. Broke out in mid-August, rallied up the 18 day EMA (52.10) and then dumped to the 50 day EMA (49.47) on earnings. Then it ricocheted off the 50 day Thursday on the introduction of the new iVideo gadget introduction. The past two sessions AAPL ahs moved laterally over the short term MA on low volume, setting up for the continued run. When you look at this you see typical action: breakout from a nice 6 month cup with handle base, run up the 18 day EMA, then a test of the 50 day EMA and a sharp bounce off that level. When volume jumps back up and AAPL starts higher that is our entry point as it continues its run up the 18 day.
Volume: 22.036M Avg Volume: 20.257M
BUY POINT: $54.48 Volume=30M Target=$62.95 Stop=$51.97
POSITION: QAA AX - Jan. $52.50c (57 delta) &/or Stock

New Leader Play:
Play Date: 10/17/2005
NTES (Netease.com--$80.17; +0.75; optionable): Chinese internet
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/n/ntes.html
After Hours: $80.16
STATUS: Test 50 day EMA. Blasted out of a 22 month base in August with a big gap higher. NTES then rallied up the 18 day EMA (82.95) with a strong run. In the recent selling NTES came back to test the 50 day EMA (78.51) on mostly below average volume. Not bad action and rather typical: breakout, run up the 18 day EMA, then test the 50 day EMA before starting higher once more. Looking for strong volume as it starts back up.
Volume: 895.205K Avg Volume: 1.219M
BUY POINT: $81.25 Volume=1.6M Target=$94.95 Stop=$78.39
POSITION: NGQ AP - Jan. $80c (51 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cs/ntes.html
New Downside Play:
Play Date: 10/17/2005
IWM (Ishares Russell 2000--$63.02; +0.11; optionable)
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/i/iwm.html
After Hours: $63.03
STATUS: Put. Crashed lower as the small caps led the selling lower in October. IWM blew through the 200 day SMA (63.08) last Tuesday and sold to 61.05. It rebounded with the market and showed a doji at the 200 day Monday, tapping the 10 day EMA (63.31) on the intraday high before sliding back. Lower volume Monday after a pretty strong volume session Friday. This is one of the plays that we catch for the next test that probes the recent October low. If it keeps falling we will let it run. A move to the target, however, lands us a nice 50%ish gain.
Volume: 32.204M Avg Volume: 25.562M
BUY POINT: $62.91 Volume=30M Target=$61.05 Stop=$63.34
POSITION: DIW WS - Nov. $63.50p (-51 delta)
