PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT PLAYS

New:

Play Date: 02/27/2006
TECH (Techne--$60.02; +0.52; optionable): Biotechnology. Researching to pinpoint the date.
BACKGROUND: Last announced a 2:1 split on 11-9-00 at $105. Prior to that a 2:1 split on 10-23-97 at $40 (back when prices were not so inflated as in 2000).
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/t/tech.html
STATUS: Ascending base. TECH got wild to end January when it announced earnings, but it held the pattern after a brief upset, building higher the past two weeks up tot the top of the range. Solid 24 week base built along the 50 day EMA (57.89), sporting positive accumulation and strong money flow. Top rated in fundamentals as well as technically. Tried to make the move Monday, rallying to 60.74 on the high before giving back a chunk of the gain. Looking for volume to come in as TECH continues back up and drives through the buy point.
Volume: 229.129K Avg Volume: 249.442K
BUY POINT: $60.57 Volume=374K Target=$71.88 Stop=$58.88
POSITION: TGQ GL - July $60c (58 delta) &/or Stock

Continuing Pre-Announcement Plays:

Play Date: 02/25/2006
BLUD (Immucor--$30.57; +0.17; optionable): Diagnostic substances. Researching date; announced earnings in early January.
BACKGROUND: Last announced a 3:2 split on 11-15-2004 at $31. Before that a 3:2 split on 6-1-04 at $31.20. Announced splits in 2003 and 2002.
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/b/blud.html
After Hours: $30.54
STATUS: Cup w/handle. Nice tight doji Monday that tapped the 18 day EMA (30.06) on the low and rebounded on some rising though still below average volume. Very good action in the handle, shaking out the last sellers before the breakout. Appears to be in the right sector in this market. To recap: BLUD is working on a 4 week handle to its 9 month base, easing back toward the 18 day EMA on low volume the past week. A strong 3 year run from 2002 to mid-2005 required a breather, and this base is doing just that, setting up for a breakout and run to a new all-time high once more. Will let it finish forming the handle; may take a few days. Looking for a volume spike as it makes the break to show us the buyers are ready to push it higher.
Volume: 272.913K Avg Volume: 445.924K
BUY POINT: $31.55 Volume=669K Target=$37.95 Stop=$29.89
POSITION: QMQ FF - June $30c (53 delta) &/or Stock
