New Plays:

Upside:

Play Date: 10/31/2006
AQNT (Aquantive--$27.18; -0.03; optionable): Digital marketing company
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/a/aqnt.html
EARNINGS: 11-2-06
STATUS: Cup w/handle. Nice low volume test of the 10 day EMA (27.13) the past week as AQNT tries to put the finishing touches on a nicely formed 10 month base. This base is setting up a breakout to a 6.5 year high. Excellent money flow is leading higher as this market leader looks ready for the breakout.

BUY POINT: $28.45 Volume=1.7M Target=$33.95 Stop=$26.89

Play Date: 10/31/2006
GRMN (Garmin Ltd.--$53.41; +0.85; optionable): GPS devices
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/g/grmn.html
EARNINGS: 11-1-06 before the open
STATUS: Breakout test. Earnings are out in the morning, and we are looking for those to help GRMN continue its breakout move. GRMN broke higher last week on strong, above average volume, clearing a 15 week double bottom with handle base. Nice breakout and a solid test, holding above the 10 day EMA (52.03) on this test. Looking to move in as GRMN continues higher to a new all-time high.
Volume: 3.478M Avg Volume: 3.271M

Play Date: 10/31/2006
PMTI (Palomar Medical Tech--$47.09; -0.76; optionable): Light-based products for medical and cosmetic treatments
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/p/pmti.html
EARNINGS: Reported 10-24-06
STATUS: Test breakout. PMTI gapped higher last week on strong volume as it reported strong results and cleared a 6 month cup with handle base. It has immediately tested, coming back to the 10 day EMA (20.17) on Monday and rebounding modestly on Tuesday. It has not filled the gap, but we don't expect it to at this point; in other words we expect it to move higher near term before coming back to fill that gap. Money flow remains well out in front of the price, and we are looking for it to continue higher on rising trade to give us the entry to this market leading stock in pattern and fundamentals.
Volume: 535.684K Avg Volume: 392.63K
BUY POINT: $47.78 Volume=575K Target=$56.95 Stop=$45.95
POSITION: HKQ BJ - Feb. $45c (62 delta) &/or Stock

Play Date: 10/31/2006
SPIL (Siliconware Precision--$6.44; +0.14; optionable): Semiconductor equipment
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/s/spil.html
STATUS: Double bottom w/handle. Solid price/volume action the past week, i.e. strong volume on upside sessions and lower on the down sessions. Tuesday was in line with the strength as SPIL rallied on a strong shot of rising, above average volume. Looks ready to make the breakout from its 6 month base. Money flow is screaming higher ahead of price and we are looking for SPIL to follow it. Nicely set up as SPIL has a new high in its sights.
Volume: 2.568M Avg Volume: 1.728M
BUY POINT: $6.54 Volume=1.8M Target=$7.95 Stop=$6.09
POSITION: SRD AA - Jan. $5c (75 delta) &/or Stock
