NEW PLAYS:

Upside plays:

Play Date: 11/14/2006
MRVC (MRV Communications--$3.31; +0.08; optionable): Semiconductor integrated circuits
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/m/mrvc.html
STATUS: Cup w/handle. Nice three week handle, filling the gap from late October, holding the 18 day EMA (3.24). Volume was up Tuesday as it tested and rebounded. Looking at this as the last stage of its handle and how looking for the break higher on continued increasing volume that will take it out of its 9 month base. Looking for a run back toward the top in the base to give us a 28%ish stock gain.
Volume: 1.43M Avg Volume: 1.369M
BUY POINT: $3.49 Volume=1.9M Target=$4.48 Stop=$3.22
POSITION: MQU CZ - Mar. $2.50c (62 delta, 105 OI) &/or Stock

CONTINUING PLAYS:

Upside:

Play Date: 11/13/2006
WBSN (Websense--$27.69; +0.17; optionable): Employees internet management and web security software
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/w/wbsn.html
STATUS: Cup w/handle. Money flow continues higher as WBSN still works laterally over the 10 day EMA (27.04) in its handle. It is ready to move, just has to show it. To recap: Like seeing this 2004 and 2005 leader forming back up in an excellent pattern for a breakout move. Nice, very quiet three week lateral move has allowed the 10 day EMA to catch up with it after a strong gap higher in late October helped form the right side of its 10 month base. Excellent volume on the surge, and now a very quiet low volume handle has formed as money flow moves higher ahead of price. Excellent set up for this former leader that is setting up to lead once more.
Volume: 323.75K Avg Volume: 687.509K
BUY POINT: $28.22 Volume=1M Target=$33.95 Stop=$26.78
POSITION: DQH DE - Apr. $25c (65 delta) &/or Stock
