New Post-Split Plays:

Play Date: 04/24/2006
BOOM (Dynamic Materials--$40.76; +1.13; no options): Industrial metal cladding by explosion (boom)
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/b/boom.html
After Hours: $40.23
STATUS: Ascending base. Volume was up to average Monday as BOOM poked around at the breakout from its 11 week base that formed using the 50 day EMA (35.44) as support. Strong 6 to 1 accumulation (6 up price weeks on rising volume to 1 down price weeks on rising volume) shows all buying. Looking for volume to continue as BOOM shows us a definitive breakout move. A top stock in sales and earnings growth as well as its technical pattern.

NIHD (NII Hldgs--$59.36; +1.11; optionable): Wireless telecom
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/n/nihd.html
After Hours: $58.75
STATUS: Test breakout. NIHD is taking a breather the past three weeks, holding the 18 day EMA (57.46) on the low and now right back up at the high the past five sessions, butting up against the breakout. Can run fast when it gets going, and it has held up well in this recent dip. Solid leader.

http://biz.yahoo.com/p/d/do.html
EARNINGS: 4-26-06
STATUS: Test breakout. Still in the nice test of the strong move last week, tapping the 18 day EMA (40.74) on the low and rebounding for a modest gain. Still ready to make the break higher. To recap: DO has bunched up below 95 the past three weeks, making higher lows along the 10 day EMA (93.38). DO is building pressure from below for the next move higher. Volume surged Tuesday and Wednesday, volume spikes that tell us to get ready for the next move higher. DO can run like the wind when it starts. Looks ready to make a move into its earnings.

BUY POINT: $95.48 Volume=2.8M Target=$109.95 Stop=$92.25
