Upside Plays
Stock Date Play Close +/- Pivot Tgt Vol TgtV Stop
ACH 02/01 Dbl btm 27.00 -0.16 25.33 29.97 544K 700K 25.95
Current. Gapped a bit higher then faded for a modest loss on
very low volume. After tthat Wed gap it took a day
off. Excellent uptrend above the 10 day EMA is in place.

AH 02/07 BO 66.03 -0.15 65.42 73.85 587K 700K 64.89
Current. Volume moved up to average as AH came back some, still
testing that Tuesday gap higher. Holding onto most
of the gains and still solidly in its uptrend above
the 10 day EMA.

AIR 02/06 DB hdl 31.30 +0.03 30.60 35.95 674K 680K 29.98
Current. Took a day off after the strong Wed surge. Volume remained
high as it showed a doji. Something to watch but likely
means little in this move.

AMX 02/05 Rolling 48.46 -0.04 47.60 54.55 5.1M 6.5M 46.57
Current. Held steady in a quiet market session. Volume remained
solidly average. Still in excellent shape to continue
the breakout move.

ANF 02/03 Test BO 82.41 +0.14 83.05 94.85 944K 2.6M 79.88
Current. Similar to other stocks it took a low volume day off
after 2 solid sessions. Holding above the 10 day EMA
& in the post-breakout uptrend above the short term
moving averages.

ANST 12/26 Cup hdl 31.69 +0.06 28.36 33.95 325K 400K 29.95
Current. Took a breather after the Wed blast off from its ascending
base. We said the breakouts from this pattern can be
explosive, and this one was. After a test we will look
at some more positions.

ATHR 02/13 Test BO 26.09 +0.30 26.38 31.65 1.5M 2.5M 24.65
Buy Not Issued. Tapped at the breakout but volume was not there yet.
Getting ready, & seeing some good results in its sector.
Just be patient & let it show the move.

BITS 02/01 Cup hdl 11.26 -0.18 10.78 12.95 102K 185K 10.89
Faded modeslty after the strong Wednesday breakout move.

BKE 02/14 Test BO 36.20 +0.16 36.57 43.94 134K 210K 34.72
Buy Not Hit. Another latearl move holding the break higher from last week. Like how it refuses to give up any ground. Volume was up Thursday as it posted a modest gain. Already wanting to move back up without a full test of the 10 day EMA.

CMG 02/07 Asc Bse 61.38 +1.69 61.85 69.95 1.3M 800K 661.95
Strong earnings after the close sent CMG up to 64 in
late trade.

CRM 02/12 Test BO 49.61 -0.27 48.11 54.95 2.2M 1.7M 47.11
Current.

CRM 01/24 DB hdl 49.61 -0.27 43.19 51.85 2.2M 1.5M 47.11
Current. Took a breather after three solid upside sesions.
Volume was still above avg but a bit lower. No issues
with this move from a strong leader.

CROX 02/12 Test BO 52.85 -0.66 55.05 65.95 1.6M 2M 52.38
Buy Not Issued. Slipped back to the 18 day EMA on rising average trade.
Still in position for the break higher but the volume
has been up on the downside sessions this week. Need
to be patient & let it show us the move if it will.

CVA 02/14 Test BO 23.73 -0.27 24.28 27.95 717K 1.2M 22.89
Buy Not Hit. Flirted with the breakout but no volume & it faded
back toward the 10 day EMA. Still perched right at
the breakout point and looking solid.

DO 01/30 Cup hdl 79.21 -0.94 83.42 95.95 2.4M 5.7M 85.05
Current. Still holding the same level, working laterally on
low volume. Just letting it work this out after the
dividend payout and start the recovery to at least
fill that gap from 85.

GGB 02/13 Test BO 18.69 +0.19 18.54 22.44 1.5M 1.4M 17.95
Current. Continued the move higher after that strong breakout move.

GIGM 01/24 Cup 12.13 -0.26 11.48 13.95 605K 1.3M 11.82
Current. The bounce Tues & Wed did not have any volume and it
caught up with it today, fading back to the 10 day
EMA on the low. Still in excellent shape.

GS 02/01 Test 18 216.82 -0.58 212.88 231.90 3.6M 6.5M 213.32
Current. Modest fade on low volume after a nice price & volume
surge Wednesday tested the priro high near 220. 220
is the next level it needs to break to really stretch
its legs.

HLTH 12/07 Saucer 14.63 +0.04 12.38 14.85 2.8M 5M 14.05
Current. Edged higher on lower volume, but continuing the climb
up the 10 day EMA. Strong trend in place even though
the volume is running lighter and lighter.

HMSY 01/24 Test BO 21.15 -0.24 19.02 22.75 188K 333K 20.21
Current. Slowed the past two sessions with some high volume
churn Wednesday after the strong run up the 10 day
EMA. Likely to come back to test 20.70ish.

HMSY 12/14 Asc Bse 21.15 -0.24 14.98 18.31 188K 331K 20.21
Current.

HPC 02/10 Test BO 20.58 +0.03 20.59 24.68 532K 1M 19.98
Current. Low volume and a slide sideways after the strong Tuesday
push higher. Just taking a moment; still in good position
to continue higher.

HWCC 02/15 Rev HS 25.99 +1.06 26.15 30.94 915K 500K 24.42
Entered today. Bonus play. This was on the report but it faded so we dropped it. Kept watching it & it broke higher on strong volume Thurs as earnings were solid. It closed off the high but is still a buy as it continues higher from the Thursday close.

IYT 02/13 Rev HS 91.69 -0.33 90.32 100.00 366K 650K 90.88
Modest give back Thuraday after 2 strong upside moves.
Tends to show 3 to 4 such moves but ahead of expiration
the trade was rather sluggish.

LOGI 02/14 Flat 29.12 +0.44 29.22 35.42 559K 1.1M 27.78
Buy Not Hit. Getting a bit more volume as LOGI starts back up off
the 50 day EMA. Just about to show us the breakout.

MNST 12/11 Cup hdl 54.25 +0.62 48.14 56.78 1.2M 2.4M 52.22
Current. Nice volume as MNST breaks higehr once again.

MON 02/01 Test BO 55.61 -0.14 55.69 62.95 2.8M 4.2M 54.38
Current. Tried to extend the move past the late January high at 56.24 but got thrown back for a modest loss. Lower volume so still in the game to clear this next key level. Want to see it over on stronger trade. If it does we are adding positions on that move.

MOS 02/07 Dbl btm 24.26 +0.52 21.88 26.35 2.5M 3M 22.95
Current. Gapped lower but then recvoered for another gain and
another 7 year high. Nice breakout run still in progress.

NUVA 02/06 Rev HS 23.42 -0.42 24.82 29.75 251K 350K 23.54
Buy Not Hit. Two consecutive downside sessions on rising, above
avge. volume. Not consistent with accumulation ahead
of a breakout so dropping it for now but will keep
an eye on it.

OII 01/30 Test 50 41.75 -0.22 40.78 46.95 548K 1M 40.57
Current. Gapped modestly lower as many oil services stocks struggled
after the Baker Huges debacle. OII held up very well,
but after that sector news we are watching closely
as we don't want it to fade & go dormant on us.

OSG 02/08 Trnd Rv 63.44 -0.14 63.55 69.95 340K 700K 61.55
Buy Not Issued. Still working laterally on low volume, setting up the next break higher. Don't really like the way it is rising as it tries to consolidate; would prefer a slight fade. Will have to see how well a strong move higher from here holds up to get us to enter.

PAY 01/13 Test BO 41.15 +0.10 37.56 44.95 428K 1M 40.08
Current. Continued the Wed bounce off the 18 day EMA test but
no trade. Just letting it move higher as long as it
will. Earnings in early March.

PTNR 02/12 Test BO 14.22 -0.07 14.30 16.97 559K 344K 13.95
Current. Faded back from that strong price & volume move on
Wednesday, but it is in a strong uptrend & volume was
lower, so not sweating it.

RATE 02/10 Test BO 43.09 +0.13 44.95 53.95 133K 500K 41.78
Buy Not Hit. Still a pattern that you can almost bank on. Nice low
volume doji at the 10 day MEA once more. Close to showing
the break higher.

RIO 01/30 Test BO 36.12 +0.34 33.05 39.65 7.5M 9M 34.31
Current. Added a few more steel supports to the move, edging
higher after the strong Tues & Wed moves.

SIMO 01/31 Test BO 21.25 +0.79 19.00 22.78 873K 550K 20.22
Current. Got a bit dicely last week but held above the 18 day
EMA & Thurs gapped higher on strong volume. We said
it was volatile but it has great support & fundamentals
growth rates so we give it a little room to do its thing.

STLD 02/05 Test BO 39.74 +0.74 38.50 45.95 2.4M 2.5M 37.78
Current. Volume jumped above average as STLD moved higher, steeling
itself for the next breakout move over 40. It probed
that level Thursday but backed off. Looks rady for
another move to new highs.

TWGP 02/10 DB hdl 34.03 +0.03 34.62 40.95 110K 415K 33.44
Buy Not Hit. Just being patient as TWGP continues to work laterally
along the 10 day EMA in a very tight range on very
low volume. When it makes its move it will likely be
a big one.

VCLK 01/27 Test BO 27.15 +1.32 26.10 30.85 3.9M 2.8M 25.75
Current.

VCLK 01/03 Test 18 27.15 +1.32 24.34 29.32 3.9M 3.5M 25.75
Target Hit. Took some interim 11.8% stock & 45% option ($180/contract) gain as VCLK jumped higher on strong volume off the breakout test. Earnings are 2-21-07, & if it continues running higher into those numbers it is worth taking some more gain.

VMED 01/31 Dbl btm 28.17 +0.24 27.74 31.88 1.2M 4.5M 27.11
Current. Higher again, trying to stretch its move, but stalled
at 28.50, the early February high. Looking good but
needs some more trade to bust it on through.

VRSN 02/06 DB hdl 26.19 +0.05 26.21 30.32 1.9M 4M 25.09
Current. Still waiting for the sign that VRSN is going to continue
its breka higher. Solid volume and a price gain Wed
looked to be it, but it waffled Thursday on low trade.
Nice pattern. Now give us the sign with a nice upside move.

WEBX 01/29 Trnd Rv 46.80 -0.38 37.25 42.75 1.1M 900K 45.11
Current. Holding up very well, tapping at the 10 day EMA on the low and recovering to flat. Continuing in its lateral range after that huge earnings surge. The 10 day EMA is catching up to it now, & in a few sessions it will be ready to send it off again.

WFR 02/05 FlyPlat 54.16 -0.25 54.45 61.95 3.3M 4.8M 51.89
Current. Holding the Wednesday gap higher but right below the
high at 55. That is the next level it needs to break
to keep the breakout move going. Holding its gains well.

XING 01/16 Trnd Rv 18.83 +0.73 15.16 18.12 1.5M 1M 17.65
Current. Excellent move, clearin gthe highs and some resistance
at 18 on some strong volume. Letting it run higher
as it zings along. March earnings.

ZUMZ 02/08 Asc Bse 34.89 -0.17 36.05 42.95 221K 800K 34.21
Buy Not Issued. Testing a bit lower, holding the 18 day EMA on the
Thurs low. Low, low trade at this level. Looking for
a high volume price bounce that will show buyers back
in & make a higher low. That will give us our entry.

Downside Plays
Stock Date Play Close +/- Pivot Tgt Vol TgtV Stop
BEAS 02/12 Put 13.01 +0.48 12.19 11.45 13M 9M 12.57
Buy Not Hit. Moved up through the 50 day EMA on strong volume so
going to drop it from the downside list.

DGII 02/10 Put 12.48 0.00 12.45 11.52 106K 140K 12.78
Current. Tapped the 18 day EMA on the high again and faded again,
closing flat on rising volume. Primed to break lower.
Just do it.

HGT 02/12 Put 24.67 -0.11 24.32 22.86 77K 285K 24.88
Buy Not Issued. Turning down though no volume. Looks ready to sell;
just want to see volume kick up as it does.

KONG 02/12 Dbl Top 8.16 +0.22 7.88 6.78 313K 490K 9.28
Buy Not Hit. Continued higher, rallying to the 50 day EMA (8.18)
but on low, well below avg volume. Moved the buy up
to be ready for a rollover from this low volume rebound
to test key resistance.

NTGR 02/13 HdShldr 26.84 +0.84 25.48 23.85 1.3M 700K 26.04
Buy Not Hit. Bounced off the 90 day MA on strong volume. That is
not consistent with the pattern though it closed at
the 50 day EMA. Will keep watching but dropping for now.

QLGC 02/05 Put 18.36 -0.14 18.18 16.92 2.9M 3.8M 18.42
Current. Bumping up against the 10 day EMA again, but backing
off on the close. Higher volume. Needs to go ahead
and finish falling from here.
