Buy Not Hit. Tested the Thursday high volume move and then reversed
to close flat on lower but still below avg volume.
It is now ready to continue the move higher.

ADS 01/16 DB hdl 66.43 +0.23 66.39 75.95 802K 1.3M 66.28
Current. Overcame the big Thursday volatility on earnings, holding
the 18 day EMA on the low & showing a doji at the
10 day EMA. Good hold by this leader that reported
truly good earnings & left it set up to continue its move.

AKAM 01/03 Test 50 55.55 +0.04 53.55 61.35 2.9M 7.6M 54.31
Current. Gapped lower to the 18 day EMA on a donwgrade. After leading NASD in 2006 we expected more of this. It showed strength, however, bouncing off that near support to close flat & keep the pattern in tact & make a higher low to set the next breakout.

AMT 01/08 Flat 39.94 -0.08 39.38 45.45 1.1M 3.5M 39.25
Current. Working laterally on continued low volume, tapping
the 18 day EMA on the lows, trying to consolidate the
strong early January move. Earnings late February.

Current. Continues laterally in a narrowing range right above
the 50 day EMA (27.44). It is setting up but looks
to have another week of work ahead of it. Earnings
mid-February.

Strong week of gains, taking a pause Friday on lower,
average volume. Excellent breakout, and a test back
toward 76 is another buy point.

BEC 01/18 PreAnn 65.35 +0.41 61.67 70.45 849K 783K 63.78
Current. Excellent week as BEC continued higher Friday on even stronger, above avg volume. Letting it run into earnings, and if it continues up we will take some more gain before the announcement. Earnings 2-8-07 before the open.

BIDU 01/09 Cup hdl 119.61 -0.33 127.00 139.95 1.5M 4.5M 126.31
Current. Managed to hold at the 50 day SMA on the Friday close on very low volume. This is where it needs to show the bounce after getting caught in the late week selling on fears China was going to shoot its economy in order to save it.

BNI 01/23 PreAnn 81.42 -0.05 80.30 95.45 2.9M 3M 79.94

BPO 12/16 PreAnn 47.13 +0.48 39.29 46.75 774K 695K 45.18
Current. An excellent week, rebounding off the short 10 day
EMA test and rallying back up. Earnings 2-9-07. If
we get more of a run into earnings we will take some
of the gain off the table.

BSC 02/01 Test 50 166.35 +1.07 165.89 179.95 905K 1.8M 161.65
Buy Not Issued. Moved up through the 10 and 18 day EMA but volume was
well off pace as it tried to move so we stayed away
until it shows more strength.

CEPH 01/25 Cup hdl 74.08 +0.93 75.45 88.75 1.5M 2.3M 72.22
Buy Not Hit. After the early week dump lower that tapped the 50
day intraday, CEPH is bouncing back and running toward
a breakout. Looking better. Earnings 2-12-07.

CHDX 01/23 Cup hdl 24.18 +1.18 24.32 28.95 281K 200K 22.62
Current. Nice save off the 18 day EMA test early in the week
on that China scare, rebounding Thursday & Friday,
moving on strong volume. Excellent action as it moves
toward a new high.

CLB 01/27 PreAnn 81.52 -0.98 81.48 98.88 298K 500K 79.28

Target Hit. Took some interim gain as CRM surged higehr for a third
session, making it 6 upside sessions in a row. Letting
it run higher for us. Earnings mid-February

CROX 01/20 Test BO 54.79 +3.03 49.00 58.95 2.9M 2.5M 52.62
Target Hit. Took some interim gain as our second position in CROX
surged. Nice 11% stock and 42% option gain, and letting
it run further for us.

CTRP 01/22 Test 18 68.63 +1.19 67.55 77.65 420K 550K 71.55
Current. Managed to hold the 18 day EMA after suffering through
the late week selling on that self-describe bubble
talk in China. Good hold of support & now it has to
show the rebound.

CTSH 01/27 PreAnn 85.83 +0.63 84.80 98.95 2M 2M 83.97
Current. Pushed higher Friday on stronger volume as CTSH continues its run up the 10 day EMA. Earnings 2-5-07 before the open (Monday) & we decided to let CTSH move on into those.

CXW 01/27 Test BO 49.07 +0.17 49.47 56.95 273K 550K 47.88

DADE 01/30 Test BO 42.74 +0.76 42.65 48.95 370K 965K 41.58
Entered today. Excellent price break higher though volume decided
not to follow as trade fell off after an initial strong
push. Very nice test and like that break higher. Earnings
2-14-07.

DO 01/30 Cup hdl 84.58 -0.17 83.42 95.95 3.3M 5.7M 82.44
Current. Very solid week for DO and we caught it as it broke higher Tuesday. Rallied up to 50 but had trouble punching through for now. Will allow it a modest test but then has to make a higher low and break on through. Earnings 2-8-07.

EAT 01/13 Cup 32.17 0.00 32.00 36.95 907K 2M 31.28
Current. Strong move Thursday pushed it all the way out of the
base, and then it stalled some Friday on lower volume.
Nice, but now needs to push on through.

FRX 12/21 Cup hdl 57.08 +0.68 52.62 59.95 2M 3.5M 55.55

to that level.

HCP 12/20 Test BO 41.11 -0.11 36.80 43.95 1.1M 1.4M 39.88
Current. Nice surge to start the week and a very modest fade
to close it out. May fade a bit more after such a nice
run, but solidly in the uptrend. Earnings 2-12-07 after
the close.

HMSY 01/24 Test BO 20.06 +0.28 19.02 22.75 227K 333K 18.95

by INFY.

Target Hit. Three solid sessions off the 10 day EMA test and we decided to bank some of the gain heading into the weekend. Nice 46% option gain ($290/contract) and 7.4% stock gain in the bank and we can let it run higher and make us some more money.

higher.

MER 01/31 Test 50 95.01 +0.23 94.74 112.95 4.1M 5.5M 92.95

Stock Date Play Close +/- Pivot Tgt Vol TgtV Stop
AXP 01/25 Put 58.16 +0.09 57.50 55.40 5M 5.2M 58.15
Current. Recovered back to test the 18 day EMA (58.53) on the
highs, but looks like another test to set up the kiss
good-bye to the downside, following that money lower.

CMVT 01/27 Put 34.49 0.00 19.27 18.15 897K 4.6M 19.92

back down.

Current. Faded a bit further Friday after reversing Thursday from a gap higher on earnings. Bounced up off 34 on the low. Need to see it break this support level early this week as SBUX chases money flow lower. Could really see the bottom fall out.
