Upside:
Play Date: 11/18/2006
CMG (Chipotle Mexican Grill--$59.88; +1.11; optionable): Casual restaurants
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/c/cmg.html
STATUS: Cup w/handle. CMG enjoyed a good day Friday, appropriate given NYMEX had its IPO and topped CMG's opening day record. It did not quite break CMG out from its 7 month base, but price/volume action has been excellent as it moves up toward the breakout. Money flow is surging higher ahead of price and CMG looks ready to follow it after its first base since its IPO.
Volume: 1.051M Avg Volume: 994.903K
BUY POINT: $60.11 Volume=1.4M Target=$68.98 Stop=$57.55
POSITION: CMG CL - Mar. $60c (55 delta) &/or Stock

Play Date: 11/18/2006
ISE (International Securities Exchange--$50.77; +0.99; optionable): Energy futures exchange
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/i/ise.html
STATUS: Test 50 day EMA. Excellent volume action the past week as ISE came back to test the 50 day EMA (47.97) after a breakout in early October from a 7 month cup with handle base. It rallied to 55 and needed a deeper test, coming back to the 50 day EMA the past two weeks. Rebounded and is making a higher low at the 18 day EMA (49.59). volume surged Friday as all exchanges enjoyed interest on the NYMEX IPO. Looking for that to carry over and give ISE a boost to resume its breakout.
Volume: 1.62M Avg Volume: 760.273K
BUY POINT: $51.84 Volume=1M Target=$61.95 Stop=$48.45
POSITION: ISE DJ - Apr. $50c (62 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cd/ise.html
New buy points on current positions: As noted in the summary, many leaders have set up for new buys. Love averaging up into winners.
Play Date: 11/18/2006
BRCM (Broadcom--$34.99; -0.06; optionable): Semiconductor integrated circuits
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/b/brcm.html
STATUS: Test 200 day SMA. Excellent move as BRCM broke higher from an 11 week lateral consolidation two weeks back, clearing the 200 day SMA (34.43) on this move. It then started laterally to end the week, refusing to give up the gains and holding above the key support at the 200 day. Looking FOR a break higher from this test to give us a new entry to the next phase of the run.
Volume: 13.4M Avg Volume: 17.04M
BUY POINT: $35.33 Volume=20M Target=$41.95 Stop=$33.75
POSITION: RCQ BZ - Feb. $32.50c (72 delta) &/or Stock

Play Date: 11/18/2006
LRCX (Lam Research--$54.34; -0.09; optionable): Chip equipment
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/l/lrcx.html
STATUS: Breakout test. One of the early leaders in the tech comeback, LRCX surged higher in October on earnings, formed a nice 5 week handle to a 6 month cup with handle base, and blasted higher again Monday. It spent the last half of the week coming back to test, showing a pair of dojis on the candlestick chart above near support at the 10 day EMA (52.65). Looking for it to give us another buy point off of this test as this leader plows to a new high. May come back and test a bit more, but with the holiday week it may come right back up from here.
Volume: 2.835M Avg Volume: 3.768M
BUY POINT: $54.72 Volume=4.8M Target=$62.95 Stop=$52.95
POSITION: LMQ CK - Mar. $55c (53 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cd/lrcx.html
Play Date: 11/18/2006
SMSC (Standard Microsystems--$31.93; -0.51; optionable): Semiconductor integrated circuits
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/s/smsc.html
STATUS: Test breakout. SMSC looks ready to just burst higher. Indeed, it started that early this week and then made a quick test to end the week with the rest of the market, tapping at and holding the 10 day EMA (31.48) on the Friday low and rebounding on extremely low volume. Very nice 10 month cup with handle that looks ready to rip higher after this test of that strong move.
Volume: 105.25K Avg Volume: 253.126K
BUY POINT: $32.38 Volume=450K Target=$37.95 Stop=$31.35
POSITION: SMQ DF - Apr. $30c (65 delta) &/or Stock

Play Date: 11/18/2006
VCLK (Valueclick--$22.11; 0.00; optionable): Internet advertising services
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/v/vclk.html
STATUS: Test breakout. VCLK broke out from a 10 month base to start November. Huge break that made us some good money. It worked latterly and then broke higher again Tuesday. It spent the rest of the week coming back to test, showing an excellent doji Friday at the 10 day EMA (21.67). Very nice test is setting it up for the next break higher as VCLK looks for a new all-time high.
Volume: 1.729M Avg Volume: 1.791M
BUY POINT: $22.68 Volume=2.4M Target=$26.95 Stop=$21.48
POSITION: QCS CX - Mar. $22.50c (53 delta) &/or Stock

AKAM: Tightening up nicely at the 18 day EMA, readying for the breakout.
