THE PLAYS:

Good movers: AH; AHC; CHRW; CX; CYMI; HAL; RIG; RMBS; SLAB; SLB; SU; TRID; VIVO

New Post-Split Plays:

Play Date: 04/05/2006
BRCM (Broadcom--$46.05; +1.65; optionable): Semiconductor integrated circuits
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/b/brcm.html
After Hours: $46.10
STATUS: Test 50 day EMA (43.43). Gave us a hell of a ride in January when it raced higher into earnings and then announced huge earnings and a split. It has spent the past 9 weeks working off that excess, coming back to the 50 day EMA last week, undercutting but then recovering. Volume jumped Monday as BRCM did the same off the 50 day. Ready to cross some resistance at 46. Want to see some big volume as it does. Money flow has turned sharply higher and is running higher ahead of price. Looks ready for the move. Again, want to see it strong when it comes.
Volume: 15.89M Avg Volume: 16.824M
BUY POINT: $46.55 Volume=17M Target=$54.55 Stop=$44.32
POSITION: RBF HX - Aug. $46.625c (57 delta) &/or Stock

New Pre-Announcement Play:

Play Date: 04/05/2006
LRCX (Lam Research--$43.98; +1.59; optionable): Chip equipment. Forecast 4-12-06 after the close
BACKGROUND: Split 3:1 1-24-00 at $138. That last split was in the go-go days.
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/l/lrcx.html
After Hours: $44.02
STATUS: Cup. Similar to BRCM, LRCX gapped higher in mid-January and rallied to 48; strong move. It needed to consolidate after that, and the past 8 weeks it has done that, fading back to the 50 day EMA (42.78) where it held and worked laterally for 5 weeks. Solid 4 to 2 accumulation already in this base, a good signal it has a lot of support even on this pullback. Looking for a 6 year high on this move.
Volume: 2.383M Avg Volume: 3.031M
BUY POINT: $44.42 Volume=4M Target=$51.95 Stop=$42.68
POSITION: LMQ II - Sept. $45c (53 delta) &/or Stock
