THE PLAYS
Good movers: GVHR; SWN; PIR
NEW PLAYS:
Upside plays:
Play Date: 10/25/2005
BCRX (Biocryst Pharma--$15.30; +0.07; optionable): Biotchnology
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/b/bcrx.html
After Hours: $15.20
STATUS: Breakout test. Earnings are to be released a half hour into the session Wednesday. BCRX exploded higher to start the month, breaking out from a 16 month double bottom and surging to 18. It has tested back the past week and is now moving laterally over the 10 day EMA (14.88) on lower volume. Going to be ready to move in when the earnings hit; like it this way as the stock will be open and we won't have that gap on the open to deal with.
Volume: 5.143M Avg Volume: 2.38M
BUY POINT: $16.05 Volume=6M Target=$19.45 Stop=$14.71
POSITION: BIU CC - Mar. $15c (60 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ct/bcrx.html
Play Date: 10/25/2005
GENZ (Genzyme--$71.53; -0.19; optionable): Biotechnology
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/g/genz.html
After Hours: $71.53
STATUS: Double bottom. GENZ is working on an 11 week double bottom, coming off the second low early this month. It is right below the 'hump' near 74, but showing solid 4 to 2 accumulation (4 up price weeks on rising volume to 2 down price weeks on rising volume) and strong money flow leading the way higher. Volume was up Tuesday, and if it shows more volume on a resumption of the move we will look at starting a position. Very nice swell in volume the past week as GENZ worked along the 50 day EMA.
Volume: 2.372M Avg Volume: 2.33M
BUY POINT: $72.89 Volume=4M Target=$83.78 Stop=$69.69
POSITION: GZQ AN - Jan. $70c (59 delta) &/or Stock
