THE PLAYS

Good Movers: BMRN; BRCM; DJO; DRIV; HMSY; NYX; PLCE; VCLK

NEW PLAYS:

Upside plays:

Play Date: 11/02/2006
MTW (Manitowoc--$52.75; -0.20; optionable): Farm and construction machinery
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/m/mtw.html
EARNINGS: announced 10-24-06
STATUS: Test breakout. Nice gap higher last week on earnings that took MTW out of its 6 month cup with handle base. It tapped the May high in the base on the moved and faded back to test this week, holding the 10 day EMA (52.54) Thursday, showing a doji on low, below average volume. Solid money flow continues higher, and we are looking for MTW to follow it back up after this breakout. Solid stock with some of the best earnings growth rates in the market.
Volume: 543.2K Avg Volume: 833.697K
BUY POINT: $55.44 Volume=1.3M Target=$66.48 Stop=$52.44
POSITION: MTW CK - Mar. $55c (48 delta, 61 OI) &/or Stock

Play Date: 11/02/2006
SKX (Skechers USA--$28.96; +0.16; optionable): Footwear and apparel
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/s/skx.html
EARNINGS: Announced 10-25-06
STATUS: Breakout test. SKX makes some pretty good shoes for kids; ours seem to like them. Super breakout on a strong gap last week as earnings were pretty much stellar. That took it out of a nicely formed 6 month cup with handle base and to a new 5 year high. Strong volume breakout, lower volume test; trade really fell off Thursday as it held the 10 day EMA (28.61). Looks as if this could be the point it holds for the continued move. Want to see the volume rebound as it does.
Volume: 358.9K Avg Volume: 422.567K
BUY POINT: $29.41 Volume=500K Target=$34.95 Stop=$28.48
POSITION: SKX DF - Apr. $30c (49 delta) &/or Stock
