Upside:

Play Date: 07/10/2006
DBRN (Dress Barn--$24.99; +1.20; optionable): Apparel stores
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/d/dbrn.html
After Hours: $24.80
STATUS: Ascending base. DBRN has set up better now, coming back to test the 50 day EMA (24.15) the past week and then bouncing Monday on stronger, average volume. Making a higher low at the 50 day in its 10 week base forming to set up the move to a new all-time high. Excellent 4 to 1 accumulation in the base (4 up price weeks on rising volume to 1 down price weeks on rising volume) shows solid buying, complementing the strong money flow. Solid leader holding up very well in the selling, using it to complete its base and move toward the breakout.
Volume: 1.081M Avg Volume: 1.056M
BUY POINT: $25.57 Volume=1.6M Target=$30.75 Stop=$23.78
POSITION: DTQ LE - Dec. $25c (60 delta) &/or Stock

Play Date: 07/10/2006
NOIZ (Micronetics--$16.71; -0.25; no options): Wireless components and test equipment
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/n/noiz.html
STATUS: Cup. NOIZ is working laterally in a tight range the past week on low volume, basically forming a handle to its 15 week base. Nice consolidation of a good Q1 move, and this lateral move is setting up the next leg higher. Like the play as it is coming off a nice rounded bottom and can give us a nice gain without even breaking to a new high.
Volume: 73.918K Avg Volume: 196.306K
BUY POINT: $17.65 Volume=294K Target=$23.50 Stop=$16.41
POSITION: - Stock (no option chain)

Play Date: 07/10/2006
OII (Oceaneering Intl.--$42.17; -0.91; optionable): Oil and gas drilling
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/o/oii.html
STATUS: Test 18 day EMA. OII broke out from a 6 week ascending base in late June, rallying to 47.50 on the move. It faded the past week, testing that move and holding the 18 day EMA (41.87) on the Monday close, showing a nice tight hammer doji at that level. After a pullback, particularly after a breakout and test, that often indicates the test is over and the next move higher is ready to start. Looks solid.
Volume: 1.664M Avg Volume: 1.371M
BUY POINT: $43.31 Volume=1.7M Target=$5197.00 Stop=$41.65
POSITION: OII JV - Oct. $42.50c (55 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ci/oii.html

Play Date: 07/10/2006
SLB (Schlumberger--$63.50; +0.75; optionable): Oil and gas service company
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/s/slb.html
After Hours: $63.60
STATUS: Double bottom w/handle. Sweet set up as SLB shows a tight doji on low volume right on top of the 50 day EMA (62.43). The base formed making the lows of the two legs on the 200 day SMA (now at 56.14); that shows solid institutional support as it made its test. Now a good handle at the 50 day EMA. Strong stock, right sector, sweet pattern.
Volume: 6.087M Avg Volume: 9.842M
BUY POINT: $64.65 Volume=12M Target=$74.50 Stop=$62.35
POSITION: SLB KM - Nov. $65c (53 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ci/slb.html

New buy point on current position:

Play Date: 07/10/2006
CTRP (Ctrip.com International--$53.10; -0.62; optionable): Chinese travel service
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/c/ctrp.html
STATUS: Breakout test. Nice pair of dojis at the 10 day EMA (52.53) as CTRP tests the breakout from its 10 week flat base. Solid volume on the break higher and now a nice low volume test. Strong leader making a nice test and setting up the next entry point. A move higher off the first test of a breakout is a great entry point as it shows the big buyers moving back in.
Volume: 247.661K Avg Volume: 462.338K
BUY POINT: $53.85 Volume=475K Target=$61.00 Stop=$52.15
POSITION: QCT LK - Dec. $55c (54 delta) &/or Stock
