New Post Split Plays:

Play Date: 02/26/2007
HOC (Holly Corp.--$56.39; +0.50; optionable): Oil and gas refining, marketing
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/h/hoc.html
EARNINGS: Announced 2-12-07
STATUS: Test breakout. HOC broke out from an 11 week cup with handle base last Wednesday, making the break from a 7 month base on base pattern. Strong break higher, now testing on lower trade, catching its breath before it continues the move to a new all-time high. HOC did not suffer the gutting many energy stocks did during the correct, holding up and showing some continuing accumulation.
Volume: 427.39K Avg Volume: 719.716K
BUY POINT: $56.98 Volume=750K Target=$65.75 Stop=$54.95

Downside:

Play Date: 02/26/2007
QDEL (Quidel--$11.03; -0.67; optionable): Diagnostic substances
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/q/qdel.html
EARNINGS: Announced 2-15-07
STATUS: Put. QDEL gapped lower two weeks back on earnings that under-whelmed the market. It gamely tried to hold the 200 day SMA (12.07), recovering that level but then rolling over Friday and undercutting its recent lows Monday. Strong downside volume and money flow is diving lower. Ready to move in with some positions on a further drop and then adding on a test after this surge lower bounces. A move to the target lands a 42%ish gain.
Volume: 1.192M Avg Volume: 397.184K
BUY POINT: $10.94 Volume=595K Target=$9.57 Stop=$11.57
POSITION: QWS PV - Apr. $12.50p (-60 delta)
