New Plays:

Upside:

Play Date: 09/07/2006
FSL (Freescale Semiconductor--$30.32; -0.21; optionable): Semiconductors
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/f/fsl.html
STATUS: Cup w/handle. After giving us a decent little run in the third leg of the summer rally FSL has faded back Wednesday and Thursday after a strong Tuesday move. It tapped at the 18 day EMA (29.97) on the intraday lows and bounced back, showing a bit stronger, above average volume Thursday. Looking for it to complete the test and then rebound. Want to see some continued strong volume as it does. Nice 17 week pattern has formed over the 200 day SMA (28.09), setting up for a breakout to a new all-time high.
Volume: 3.045M Avg Volume: 2.449M
BUY POINT: $30.94 Volume=3.5M Target=$35.95 Stop=$29.75
POSITION: FSL AF - Jan. $30c (58 delta) &/or Stock

Play Date: 09/07/2006
PRFT (Perficient--$13.46; 0.00; no options): ITS consulting services
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/p/prft.html
STATUS: Cup w/handle. PRFT was named one of the fastest growing firms in Texas. Okay. That just underscores the strength it is showing in its fundamentals and its technical pattern. It is forming a sweet handle to its 13 week base that has formed along the 50 day EMA (12.77). Setting up for a breakout to a 6 year high as it breaks higher off this 10 day EMA test.
Volume: 129.227K Avg Volume: 237.449K
BUY POINT: $13.85 Volume=356K Target=$16.65 Stop=$13.11
POSITION: - Stock (no option chain)

Play Date: 09/07/2006
PSYS (Psychiatric Solutions--$32.43; +0.38; optionable): Inpatient behavioral health services
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/p/psys.html
STATUS: Double bottom w/handle. Volume is creeping higher on PSYS this week as it probes a breakout from its 6 month base that is setting PSYS for a break to a new all-time high. Nice quiet volume in the handle during August indicates a good shakeout setting up the breakout. Money flow is surging higher ahead of price, and with this nice pattern PSYS looks ready to make the break and give us a nice run. Like that it is in healthcare as that makes it a bit more resistant to any September selling.
Volume: 433.454K Avg Volume: 564.212K
BUY POINT: $33.05 Volume=966K Target=$38.00 Stop=$31.50
POSITION: BYU LF - Dec. $30c (66 delta) &/or Stock

Downside:

Play Date: 09/07/2006
ISLE (Isle of Capri Casino--$21.10; -0.07; optionable): Casinos
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/i/isle.html
STATUS: Put. ISLE is in a continuing downtrend after forming a broad top in April and May and then heading lower. It has bounced down the 18 day EMA (21.30), dropping roughly $2 to $3 on each leg. It has rebounded up to the 18 day, showing a pair of dojis on the candlestick chart Wednesday and Thursday. That typically indicates a rebound is ending. Looking for a break lower through the 10 day EMA (20.94) to give us the entry to the next leg lower. A move to the target lands us a 60%ish gain.
Volume: 473.167K Avg Volume: 377.52K
BUY POINT: $20.88 Volume=475K Target=$18.85 Stop=$21.32
POSITION: QEP VX - Oct. $20p (-60 delta)
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ci/isle.html

Play Date: 09/07/2006
RDEN (Elizabeth Arden--$14.50; -0.22; optionable): Make-up, etc.
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/r/rden.html
STATUS: Put. RDEN formed a broad top February through April and then tumbled through the 200 day SMA (now at 20). It has traded lower and lower down 18 day EMA, rebounding the past week during the third leg of the rally to once more hit the 18 day. It turned over and started lower, breaking below the 10 day EMA (14.66) Thursday. Looking to move in on continued selling and riding it to the target on this next leg lower. A move to the target lands us a 54%ish gain.
Volume: 153.585K Avg Volume: 186.482K
BUY POINT: $14.38 Volume=185K Target=$13.30 Stop=$14.69
POSITION: UWO VC - Oct. $15p (-60 delta)
