Upside Plays
Stock Date Play Close +/- Pivot Tgt Vol TgtV Stop
^SOX 12/06 Test BO 0 -0.29 492.15 514 0 0 482.4
Buy Not Issued. Good comeback off the 18 day EMA test that filled the
early December gap despite the INTC disappointment.
Ready to move in as SOX continues thru the buy point
& reasserts its leadership.

ABC 12/05 PreSplt 81.43 -0.28 81.84 88.88 618K 1.1M 80.21
Current. Very low below average trade as ABC gave back a hair
of the Thursday gain. Still set up well to continue
its breakout and run up the 10 day EMA.

ADBE 12/05 Cup hdl 35.6 -0.53 34.97 43 6.2M 5.1M 35.96
Current. Strong early start to week as it completed its MACR merger, then a low volume test of near support, tapping the 10 day EMA on Friday low, filling early week gap and then rebounding. Set up well to continue the breakout move.

AKAM 10/26 Test 18 21.79 -0.06 17.32 20.48 2.3M 2M 20.88
Current. A strong move up the 10 day EMA (20.91) continues but
it was running out of steam @ weeks end. Not messing
with it, however, as still in a great uptrend.

AMGN 11/03 Test BO 78.38 -1.34 78.88 89.95 5.4M 13M 80.95
Current. It has support here at 78 (bottomed at this level in
August), so letting it test this level & will see if
it can rebound from here.

AMHC 12/08 PreAnn 47.49 +0.65 47.34 54.45 123K 511K 45.89
Buy Not Issued. Moved higher but very low volume Friday on a week that
could not muster an above average session. If we get
some trade this week we will initiate the play as it
continues higher.

AMT 11/21 Test BO 27.48 +0.03 26.81 31.78 2.2M 4M 26.78
Current. Nice test this week, holding the 10 day EMA (27.31)
on low volume. Nice set up to a continued move after
a strong upside the prior week.

AMTD 12/05 Test BO 24.28 -0.29 24.62 28.95 6.6M 5M 23.22
Buy Not Issued. Tried to make the continuation move with the Tuesday gap higher but with the weak market it finished the week with a test of that move, tapping the 10 day EMA and rebounding to cut its losses Friday. Still solid & this sets up the next move.

AMX 11/12 Cup hdl 30.51 +0.6 27.35 32.87 2.6M 4.6M 29.31
Current. Tuesday gap to an all-time high could not hold and
was filled. Held the 10 day EMA, however, & bounced
Friday. Still in a very nice trend up the 10 day following
the November breakout.

AQNT 10/15 Asc Bse 27.15 +0.1 21.15 25.15 880K 1.6M 26.39
Current. Tested the 18 day EMA (26.24) this week & held. Moving
basically laterally the past 3 weeks, consolidating
the strong mid-November run & setting up the next break
higher.

BBBB 11/05 Test BO 32.16 +1.36 30.45 35.95 217K 385K 29.85
Current.

BBBB 10/27 Test BO 32.16 +1.36 27.55 32.65 217K 367K 29.85
Target Hit. Nice break higher to a new all-time high Friday on
rising though still above average volume. Took some
of the gain but letting this very nice continuation
of the breakout move run.

BOOM 11/30 Test 50 28.76 +0.02 24.75 29.75 1M 2.1M 26.84
Big gap higher Tuesday was squandered and BOOM closed
out the week with a low volume lateral move over 28.
Trying to digest the big gain and set back up. May
take a few more sessions to do that.

BRCM 12/03 Cup hdl 48.49 +0.82 49.12 56.95 7.2M 10M 46.55
Buy Not Issued. Spent the entire week moving laterally, bouncing up
and down day to day as it tried to make the breakout
but could not find any real footing. Still ready to
make the breakout.

BRLI 12/08 Asc Bse 19.14 +0.27 19.21 23 42K 173K 18.48
Buy Not Hit. No volume Friday as BRLI drifted higher. Looking for
that strong volume seen Thursday to send it to the
breakout from this nice little base.

CAM 11/15 PreSplt 84.29 -0.35 76.55 83.95 1.1M 1.9M 82.78
Current. Strong move Thursday sent CAM to a 5 year high. Stalled
out Friday on lower volume. Letting it run up the 10
day EMA.

CBST 11/07 Cup hdl 22.48 +0.44 22.65 26.95 521K 969K 21.65
Buy Not Issued. Spent the week fadeing back after breaking higher to
start December. Held the 10 day EMA and Friday was
up on rising volume. Looks good, but it needs to show
us a more definitive move.

CELG 11/08 PreAnn 61.34 +0.68 61.87 70.92 1.1M 3.2M 59.65
Buy Not Issued. Still in the tight 3 week lateral move over the 18
day EMA (60.47). Being patient and waiting for a clear
break higher on some decent volume. Trade has been
very low during this move.

CETV 12/03 PreAnn 57.41 +0.09 57.75 67.42 137K 228K 57.45
Current. Low volume test of the breakout move to end the week,
showing a hammer doji Friday as CETV holds well above
the 10 day EMA (56.06).

CHE 11/21 Test BO 51.5 +0.65 49.59 56.95 120K 291K 49.68
Current. Still working laterally above the 10 day EMA the past 3 weeks on low volume, consolidating the strong late November move. Friday it was up off the 10 day & it may be ready to continue the breakout move.

CHS 12/03 PreAnn 44.81 -0.23 45.05 53.95 1.2M 2.5M 43.74
Current. Stalled out some Friday after a strong volume recovery
Thursday. Good test of the November run, holding the
18 day EMA and starting the next leg.

CHS 10/10 DB hdl 44.81 -0.23 39.34 46.95 1.2M 2.9M 43.57
Current.

CNQR 12/07 Rv H&S 13.19 +0.18 13.32 15.98 207K 405K 12.59
Buy Not Hit. Strong volume Thursday is a very good sign CNQR is
just about ready for the breakout. Friday volume was
low with overall market as it bounced off the 10 day.
Looks ready for this week.

COH 11/09 Cup hdl 35.11 +0.11 34.98 40.25 1.6M 4M 34.77
Current. Lateral move over the 18 day EMA (34.85) all week.
Volume spiked Thursday, indicating it may be ready
to try a move out of the range this coming week & get
back to the breakout move.

COHU 11/29 Test BO 25.57 +0.24 26.48 30.38 152K 306K 26.89
Current.

COHU 11/05 Cup 25.57 +0.24 24.82 29.82 152K 235K 26.89
Current. Tough session Thursday sent COHU down to tap the 50
day EMA (24.81), but it started a modest bounce Friday.
Want to see it clear 26.09 (10 day MA) on rising volume
this coming week.

CRM 11/08 Test BO 35.5 +2.04 26.95 31.95 3.4M 2.1M 33.45

CRM 10/21 Cup hdl 35.5 +2.04 24.41 29.22 3.4M 1.5M 33.45
Current. Gapped higher on strong trade to end the week, taking CRM well above its 10 day EMA (32.75) trend. This comes after an alrady strong November & early December run & thus we can expect some giveback after this move but nothing likely to break the trend.

CWTR 12/07 Test BO 32.79 +0.1 32.95 39.85 464K 1M 31.89
Buy Not Issued. Spent the week working laterally over the 10 day EMA
(32.28) in a narrow range & on low volume. This follows
the gap higher to end November & almost immediate fade.

DIOD 11/22 PreSplt 27.86 +0.13 28.05 31.97 170K 300K 26.29
Current.

DIOD 10/29 PreAnn 27.86 +0.13 25.61 29.1 170K 350K 26.85
Current. Lateral move last week above the 10 day EMA (27.35)
as that MA rose to meet the stock. That often is the
catalyst for the next move higher. That would send
DIOD to a new all-time high.

DNA 10/29 DB hdl 95.96 -2.41 90 100 3.3M 5.8M 94.88
Current.

DNA 04/28 Test BO 95.96 -2.41 70.42 81 3.3M 8.2M 94.88
Current.

EFX 11/22 Cup hdl 38.54 +0.38 37.82 43.99 592K 850K 37.95
Current. Spent the week working laterally with a big dip Thursday to 38. Recovered Friday on stronger though still below average trade. Nice lateral move after hitting a new all-time high, setting up the next bounce off this near support & continuing the trend.

ELOS 11/14 Cup hdl 44.79 +0.22 42.21 50.65 1.9M 1.1M 43.35
Current. Great move to start the week but mid-week it ran out
of nerve. Friday volume was strong again but it could
not hold the move to 46.23. Schizo of late but a strong
leader & letting it make us some money.

ENDP 12/05 Cup hdl 30.09 -0.13 30.65 36.55 727K 2M 29.42
Current. Tight lateral move to end the week after a promising,
strong volume move Tuesday looked ready to continue
the November breakout. Hammer doji Friday indicates
it may happen now.

ESRX 10/13 Test 50 89.56 +1.73 62.44 70.92 2.5M 2.1M 85.22
Current. After a weeklong lateral move on low volume ESRX jumped
higher Friday on stronger, above average volume. A
market leader that wont stop its advance.

FFIV 11/14 DB hdl 52.77 +0.32 56.47 65.95 665K 1.6M 54.11
Current. Reached down below support at 52 intraday Friday and
then rebounded for a modest gain. Key level to hold
& a nice shakeout Friday may have reset the move. Maybe.
Needs to show some strong upside trade again as on Tuesday.

FSL 11/30 Test BO 26.97 +0.36 26.85 31.65 1.4M 2M 26.11
Current. After a week of testing the strong move that started
December, FSL held the 10 day EMA and rebounded Friday.
No volume so we will need to see follow thru this week,
but a good hold at near support.

FTO 12/08 DB hdl 40.9 -0.61 41.76 49.85 963K 2.4M 39.78
Buy Not Hit. Still working in a nice, tight lateral handle to its base.

GAP 10/24 Cup hdl 31.18 -0.06 28.15 34.95 182K 872K 30.45
Current. Very slow going, moving laterally over the 10 day EMA
(30.75) on very low volume. This is the second such
week long lateral move in three weeks. Moving up the
10 day in baby steps.

GENZ 12/07 Test 50 72.59 -1.41 74.72 84 1.9M 3M 73.05
Buy Not Hit. Fell thru the 50 day EMA and SMA. Going to keep an
ey e on it and let it re-form but dropping for now.

HSP 11/19 Test BO 44.24 0 44.95 51.95 370K 900K 43.05
Buy Not Issued. Still in the 4 week lateral move but Friday tanked
down to 42.90 on the low before recovering to hold
the range. Still has to show us the move.

HYSL 10/25 Cup hdl 52.48 +0.96 51.84 59.88 270K 874K 50.98
Current.

IDXX 11/30 Test 18 74.15 +0.52 72.68 81.95 141K 221K 72
Current. Followed up the Thursday strong volume move with another
good price session, but gave back $1 of the move on
the close on some lighter volume. Just letting it work
for us.

IDXX 11/05 Test BO 74.15 +0.52 68.84 78.95 141K 215K 71.74
Current.

INGR 12/05 Flat 47.99 -0.59 49.32 57.55 250K 450K 46.65
Buy Not Hit. Could not make anything out of strong Monday move higher, fading back all week on lower trade, tapping the 50 day EMA (46.89) on the Friday low and rebounding for a modest loss. Looks like a shakeout & still looking for a break higher.

ITRI 12/01 Cup 47.43 +1.29 48.55 57.95 366K 600K 46.15
Buy Not Issued. Well, some much better volume Friday as ITRI bounces
off the 50 day EMA & is returning to challenge resistance
at 48. If the volume continues as it rushes through
that level this top-rated stock

IVIL 10/10 Cup hdl 8.37 -0.18 7.72 9.34 1.2M 717K 8.08
Current. Tested back to the 18 day EMA (8.24) on the low & rebounded
on strong trade. Still in its uptrend but making its
first stronger test. Still in the uptrend but needs
to hold here.

KOMG 11/28 Cup hdl 37.13 +0.73 33.88 39.95 567K 2.1M 32.25
Buy Not Issued. Well, not giving anything back as it continues higher on low volume this week. Not a lot of volume even on the break higher, but it has rolled on. Would like to see a test toward the 10 day EMA (35.46) to give a better entry point.

LM 12/01 PreAnn 120.53 +0.47 122.55 134 598K 1.4M 118.88
Buy Not Hit. Another nice doji at the 18 day EMA as LM continues
the excellent test of the November break higher.

LPSN 12/03 Cup hdl 4.99 -0.11 5.53 6.65 1.3M 344K 5.14
Buy Not Issued. Reached way down to the 50 intraday and rebounded on
some huge trade. May be a shakeout that sets up the
breakout from the lateral 4 week move.

LRCX 10/29 Test BO 36.3 -0.13 33.69 39.95 3.4M 3.5M 37.72
Trailing Stop. Started to sell again on the INTC news but then managed
to rebound, showing a doji just over 36.

LSTR 11/02 Test BO 43.63 +0.03 41.85 47.95 299K 795K 42.58
Current. Faded back to test the 10 day EMA (43.25) on low volume
to end teh week, but LSTR continues its adfvance up
the 10 and 18 day EMA following the early November
break higher.

LUK 11/07 Cup hdl 47.08 +0.21 44.86 52.95 210K 396K 46.32
Current. Still holding the 18 day EMA (46.90) in the 3 week
pullback from the all-time high hit in late November.

MCRS 12/03 DB hdl 51.02 +0.37 51.15 58.25 170K 365K 49.25
Entered today. Continued the Thursday move. Though volume was light
Friday, decent trade Thursday was good enough to enter
on Friday.

MRVL 11/16 Test BO 59.9 +2.4 50.39 55.98 4.1M 3.5M 57.55
Current.

MRVL 11/02 Rv H&S 59.9 +2.4 48.71 55.88 4.1M 3.5M 57.55
Current. Strong move Friday on rising, average volume (not bad
given the overall low volume) as MRVL laughed off the
INTC update and charged to a new closing high. Just
letting it run higher up the 10 day EMA.

MRVL 10/01 PreAnn 59.9 +2.4 46.65 53.65 4.1M 3.5M 57.55
Current.

MSCC 11/17 Dbl btm 28.51 +0.38 25.05 28.78 476K 900K 27.92
Current. After jumping higher to start December, MSCC has moved
laterally the past week as the 10 day EMA (28.02) caught
up to it. Now it is ready to resume the move.

MSTR 11/15 DB hdl 77.55 +1.2 78.55 89.25 208K 612K 75.45
Buy Not Issued. Another solid price move but again no volume. Looks
as if we are going to have to just step in as MSTR
continues higher in its 4.5 month base.

NBR 12/08 Asc Tri 76.29 +0.31 75.62 87 3.9M 2.6M 73.75
Current. Even stronger volume Friday but a very modest upside
move following the nice breakout Thursday from the
11 week ascending triangle.

NEM 12/06 Rv H&S 49.66 -0.62 49.94 57.32 12M 7M 48.12
Current. Similar to many gold stocks Friday, NEM gapped higher
as it continues the weeks strong moves but then gave
it back and more as traders squared up ahead of the
weekend.

NIHD 11/06 PreSplt 45.98 +0.18 43.53 48.88 1.1M 1.1M 44.36
Current. Familiar story, spending the week in a lateral move
over the 10 day EMA (45.12). Good move up Tuesday at
least pushed the stock for a higher close on the week.
Still very good action from a very strong stock.

NILE 11/07 Test BO 42.29 -0.26 38.55 44.22 153K 251K 41.72
Current. Bounced off the 18 day MA this week and then closed
it out moving laterally above the 10 day MA. Gapped
lower late November & working on the recovery at near
support. Good strength.

NTRI 10/18 Test 18 42.71 +0.49 30.86 36.75 368K 1.2M 40.55
Current. Strong move higher Monday took NTRI to a new all-time high and then it moved laterally in a tight range on low volume to close the week. Likely will wait for the 10 day EMA (41.02) to rise up to it before it continues.

NUE 11/21 Cup hdl 66.95 -0.74 65.67 77.95 1.3M 3.4M 62.38
Buy Not Issued. NUE has moved up the 10 day EMA on really spotty volume
then gapped lower Thursday, closing over the 18 day
MA for the week. Would loke to see a few days down
here & then some volume to the upside.

NVDA 11/06 Cup hdl 36.34 +0.51 34.67 39.88 2.2M 6.7M 36.55
Current.

NVDA 10/06 Test 18 36.34 +0.51 33.11 40.65 2.2M 6.5M 36.55
Current. Still hugging the 18 day EMA (35.99) the past two weeks
after the downgrade gapped it lower. Showing better
action to end the week & NVDA looks as if it is overcoming
the downgrade & ready to move higher.

NWRE 12/07 FlyPlat 21.45 +0.07 22.38 26.55 376K 525K 21.05
Buy Not Hit. Nice doji at the 18 day EMA (21.33), fading back after
a tight lateral move. This looks like a shakeout before
NWRE, a top-rated stock, starts back up.

OIS 12/08 Rv H&S 36.57 +0.05 36.78 42.95 1M 935K 34.55
Buy Not Issued. Showed the volume again Friday but it could not get
the move on track. Still looks very nice and ready
to make its move as the oil services stocks are set
to be the money makers in the sector in 2006.

OXPS 11/16 Test BO 24.89 +0.66 22.65 26.98 497K 450K 23.65
Current. Got a bit volatile last week, gapping higher to 26 Wednesday but rolling over and selling to tap the 18 day EMA (23.73) Thursday. Nice rebound Friday but no volume yet. That needs to show up this week as OXPS continues higher.

PLCE 12/01 PreAnn 51.11 -0.01 52.05 61.95 412K 825K 49.88
Buy Not Issued. Gapped higher but gave it back to close flat on low
volume once more. Cannot make the breakaway move just
yet, but still in a nice pattern.

PNRA 11/09 Cup hdl 69.34 -1.01 62.25 71.62 401K 995K 67.98
None. Faded right back Friday, giving up some of the solid Wednesday & Thursday move that took PNRA to a new high. Still in decent shape to continue the breakout. One of the stronger stocks.

PSSI 11/17 Rv H&S 16.05 -0.09 15.03 17.98 193K 758K 15.94
Current. Nice doji Friday at the 10 day EMA (15.99) once more
in a very nice test of the breakout and run higher
thru November.

PSTI 12/01 Cup hdl 24.51 0 24.88 29 314K 444K 24.05
Current. Holding the 10 day EMA (24.35) to close the week on
average volume, testing the strong breakout to start
the month. Set up well to continue higher.

PWAV 11/12 Test BO 13.72 -0.06 13.18 15.88 2.2M 3.5M 13.05
Current. Took a low volume breather Friday after a strong Thursday
breakout from the new handle to its 12 week base.
Very nice continuation fo the move.

RBAK 10/04 Test 50 13.99 +0.19 10.22 12.69 824K 1.2M 13.44
Current. Fell back early in the week to test the 10 day EMA
(13.78) after a strong November move. It held that
level & started back up Friday on rising trade. Nice
hold of near support.

SMSC 12/07 Test BO 32.65 +0.18 32.22 38 102K 300K 31.05
Buy Not Issued. Testing the strong move to start the month, drifting
back modestly to test the 10 day EMA (31.71) to end
the week.

SRCL 11/03 Test BO 61.35 -0.32 60.44 69.65 175K 399K 60.88
Current. Having a hard time making headway over 62, failing
twice at that level. Has come back to the 18 day EMA
(61.14) once more. This is where it has to make its stand.

TEVA 11/08 Test BO 44.48 +0.6 39.89 46.35 4.4M 5.5M 42.68
Current. Continues its strong, steady move up the 10 day EMA
(42.72). Strong move ignoring the market.

TRAD 12/01 Test 18 13.11 +0.04 14.15 16.85 381K 550K 12.98
Current. Still holding the 10 day EMA (12.99) as it tests back
to end the week after a strong volume move higher earlier.
Very nice test.

UPCS 11/28 Test BO 9.92 +0.1 9.88 11.65 354K 1.4M 9.28
Buy Not Issued. Got an errant trade early that provided some excitement.
Otherwise it was another quiet session as UPCS continued
its lateral move over the 10 day EMA (9.78). Needs
to show us something this week.

UPL 12/06 Asc Bse 57.96 -0.96 58.22 66.95 1.2M 3.2M 55.28
Buy Not Issued. Low volume fade to end the week, keeping it in its
handle formation that is shaking out the last sellers
and setting up the breakout move.

VAS 11/10 Test BO 28.27 +0.15 27.71 31.95 150K 350K 27.72
Current. Working laterally over the 10 day EMA (28.03), setting
up fot he new all-time high. Volume jumped mid-week.
Ready for more.

VIP 11/28 Cup hdl 45.01 -0.27 45.66 52.55 594K 1.2M 43.71
Buy Not Issued. AFter the creep higher up the 10 day EMA, VIP sold hard Wednesday and Thursday, managing to hold the 18 day EMA (44.80). If it can hold here & deliver a strong volume rebound that will be worth a buy as it heads for a new all-time high.

VSAT 11/28 Test BO 26.94 +0.15 27.68 32.75 161K 271K 27.05
Current. Shot higher Tuesday but could not hold the move, & that took some of the wind out of it. VSAT sold Wednesday and Thursday, but tried a rebound. Friday it reached lower again but rebounded to show a doji. This looks like a shakeout before a bounce.

WBSN 11/16 Test BO 66.82 +0.84 66.25 75.95 235K 887K 64.78
Current. Bounced off the 10 day EMA (65.59) again as it plays
ping-pong at that level but always edging higher. Looking
for one of those patented WBSN blasts higher this week.

WFR 11/15 DB hdl 23.35 +0.35 23.46 27.75 2.7M 4.9M 22.34
Current. Took off Tuesday but could not hold the move intraday. It then faded back the rest of the week, tapping the 18 day EMA (22.48) on the low & rebounding Friday. Weathered the big chip updates & ready to proceed higher again.
