Upside Plays
Stock Date Play Close +/- Pivot Tgt Vol TgtV Stop
ACL 03/05 Test 50 127.13 +2.63 125.05 135.00 508K 650K 121.18
Buy Not Issued. Volume not quite there to enter the play. If stock continues the move next week on strong volume will still be a buy.

ANST 02/28 Test BO 30.25 -0.31 31.01 35.95 140K 325K 29.28
Current. Gapped up to open on the 10 day EMA, but faded back on lower below average volume. May come back to test the 50 day EMA (29.68. Stock needs to hold there.

BA 02/03 Test BO 88.89 +0.18 91.65 102.95 2.8M 5.8M 87.89
Current. Rallied nicely but then gave back most of the gain
to close right on top of the 50 day SMA. As it approached
90 it had some issues. Don't want to let it turn back
down on us and thru the 90 day MA (88).

BRCD 03/01 Cup hdl 9.65 +0.05 9.55 11.77 12M 15M 9.17
Current. Gapped up at the open, but faded back on average volume. Still in uptrend.

BW 03/07 Test BO 45.10 +1.54 45.05 51.85 384K 520K 43.00
Buy Not Issued. Not enough volume to enter the play. IF stock continues the move next week on strong volume will be a buy.

COG 03/01 PreSplt 66.93 -0.23 68.85 76.95 534K 700K 66.78
Buy Not Hit. Faded back on lower below averge volume to hold the 18 day EMA. Moving up after testing the 50 day EMA.

CYTC 03/03 Test BO 31.29 +0.82 31.05 34.95 1.9M 1.1M 28.81
Entered today. Gapped up at the open for a great move on strong volume surge.

FDX 02/20 Rev HS 113.59 +1.33 120.32 134.95 1.3M 2.5M 117.36
Current. FDX tapped at 114 resistance on another gap higher,
backing off some from that level. Volume was up but
still below avg. Critical point for FDX & don't want
any backsliding after this 4 day bounce.

GAP 03/05 Test BO 33.71 +0.66 32.85 37.75 1.2M 450K 32.04
Current. Another excellent surge by GAP on strong volume. Excellent
break higher and continuing run.

HLTH 02/28 Test 18 14.74 +0.04 15.11 18.25 2.9M 8M 14.38
Buy Not Hit. Holding the 18 day EMA on low volume. Still in the pattern.

HMSY 03/06 Test 50 19.04 +0.15 19.68 22.95 298K 450K 18.75
Buy Not Hit. Showing a doji just above the 50 day EMA on rising volume. Trying to get a bounce after testing the 50 day EMA.

LHCG 03/07 Test BO 30.00 -0.30 30.74 35.45 109K 225K 29.35
Buy Not Hit. Gapped up at the open, but faded back testing the 10 day EMA intraday and bounced on very low volume. Testing the breakout. Still in the pattern. Looking for a rebound off the 10 day EMA (29.75)

NTGR 02/17 Dbl btm 26.57 -0.53 28.63 34.32 501K 1.1M 27.68
Current. Tapped the 50 day MA at 27.50 and turned down. Low
volume so we held off on closing it, but if it continues
lower early Friday we will.

NUAN 02/28 Test BO 14.01 +0.08 14.38 17.65 2.3M 5.5M 13.77
Buy Not Hit. Gapped up at the open, but faded back to hold the 18 day EMA on low volume. Still in the pattern.

PTNR 02/12 Test BO 13.89 +0.25 14.30 16.97 269K 344K 13.55
Current. Once more PTNR gapped higher tapped the 10 & 18 day EMA (13.68) on the low and recovered again. Nice rebound but poor volume. Could not get over 14. If it fails there and moves below the 10 & 18 day EMA we have to close it.

RIMM 02/24 Asc Bse 136.57 +1.43 145.31 159.95 6.6M 13M 142.22
Current.

RIMM 02/03 PreAnn 136.57 +1.43 135.96 154.89 6.6M 10M 142.22
Current. Continues working laterally above the 50 day EMA on
low volume as it sets up for the next move higher.
Like the action so just letting it form up again.

RIO 03/06 Test 50 34.29 +0.02 35.17 39.95 14M 10M 32.57
Entered today. RIO ran dry on us, at least after it started off strong and on strong volume. Hit 35.42 but then gave it back
to close flat at the 18 day EMA. Still in good shape
overall so will see if it can hold here and reload.

RVSN 02/15 Test BO 22.83 +0.31 22.54 26.95 161K 220K 22.05
Current. Continue to move up on average volume after testing the 18 day EMA. Meeting just a little resistance here from mid February.

SYK 02/22 FlyPlat 62.69 +0.78 64.03 73.42 1.6M 1.7M 61.77
Current. Continues to rebound gapping higher on better volume Thursday. Just beat 62.50. Now would like for it to put some distance on that level. Showed great relative strength during the selling so giving it some room to work higher for us.

TALX 02/28 Test 18 33.28 +0.26 33.47 38.65 610K 900K 31.13
Buy Not Hit. Showing a tight odji on the 18 day EMA on rising volume. May be ready to breakout from here. Moving up after filling the gap from mid February.

TRW 03/01 Test BO 31.69 +0.99 30.55 35.95 655K 530K 30.32
Target Hit. Took part of the option gain after TRW gave us a solid
2 day move. Left most to work for us because volume
jumped Thursday on the strong price move.

UCTT 03/03 DB hdl 17.44 +0.55 16.41 19.45 647K 725K 16.08
Target Hit. Took some interim 6.6% gain on the play as it gave
us a strong 2-day move, the jobs report is coming,
and we are, after all, in a correction. Still strong
and let the rest run for us.

VCLK 03/03 Test 50 26.29 -0.21 26.87 31.95 1.3M 2.9M 25.32
Buy Not Issued. Gapped up at the open, but faded back holding the 10 day EMA on low volume. Still in the pattern.

VLO 03/07 DB hdl 60.00 +0.20 60.22 67.95 17M 12M 57.95
Buy Not Issued. Looking for a clear and decisive move on strong volume. Gapped up at the open but then gave much of it back on lower, but strong volume.

VSAT 02/07 Test BO 33.16 +0.37 33.75 39.98 108K 250K 34.32
Current. Moving up after testing the 50 day EMA. Held just below the 10 day EMA. Came off th4e day's high of 33.86.

VSEA 03/05 Test BO 48.34 +1.02 48.05 54.95 1.2M 2M 45.31
Buy Not Issued. Tested the 10 day EMA intraday and rallied back on low volume. Volume not there to enter the play. If stock continues the move on strong volume will be a buy.

WEBX 03/05 Test 50 46.29 +1.90 45.88 51.45 1.6M 950K 44.65
Entered today. Exploded off the 10 day EMA for a great move on excellent volume surge. Did come off the day's high of 47.48

WFR 03/06 Test 50 55.80 +1.90 54.48 61.95 4M 5.4M 54.68
Target Hit. Took some interim gain on part of the options, banking
14%ish on a two day move. Low volume so not really
impressive, but in a correction they move, you buy,
they run, you take gains.

Downside Plays
Stock Date Play Close +/- Pivot Tgt Vol TgtV Stop
BEBE 02/27 Put 17.70 +0.18 18.20 16.05 1.4M 1.2M 17.69
Current. Tried to jump on the same store sales results but it
gave much of the gain back after tapping at the 10
day EMA near 18. Not a lot of strength for the news.

CHRS 02/27 Put 12.07 +0.17 12.10 11.09 1.1M 975K 12.04
Current. Another retailer that rallied on the same store sales
results but after tapping at the 10 day EMA it could
not hold most of the move. Still looking for a continued
decline after this unsuccessful rebound attempt.

DIA 02/28 Put 122.80 +0.80 121.36 119.25 7.6M 9M 120.72
Current. Gapped higher but a hanging man doji below the 10 day
EMA. Looks ready to turn back down & we will be looking
at new positiosn as it does.

HGT 02/12 Put 23.95 -0.23 23.72 22.25 117K 285K 24.02
Current. Made its bounce with oil overall, but after tapping
the 18 day EMA on the high HGT reversed to close lower
below the 10 day EMA with the down trendline still holding.

MA 03/07 Put 102.76 +3.04 99.31 93.85 6.3M 3.2M 102.11
Buy Not Issued. Bounced on stronger above average volume. Tested the 10 day EMA at the high, but faded back. May continue to test up tto the 18 day EMA (104)

PHRM 03/03 Put 26.74 +0.34 25.92 23.65 316K 600K 26.95
Buy Not Issued. Broke through the 10 and 90 day EMA, but faded back to show a doji on the 10 day EMA on low volume. Still in downtrend.

SONC 02/27 Put 21.17 +0.08 21.35 20.00 627K 625K 21.39
Current. Tapped 21.36 at the high, but faded back on rising volume. Still moving down the 10 day EMA.

SPY 03/07 Put 140.74 +1.18 139.97 136.65 118M 70M 141.21
Buy Not Hit. Broke through the 10 day EMA at the high, but faded back holding the 10 day EMA on above average volume. The relief bounce of the market may be running out of gas.

TMO 03/01 HdShldr 45.89 +0.56 45.02 43.58 3M 3.5M 44.77
Current. Tested the 50 day EMA (46.38) at the high, faded back to hold the 90 day EMA. Relief bounce slowing down. Should hold here.

VIX 03/01 Put 14.29 -0.95 18.55 14.05 0 0 20.05
Made the final push lower and showed a doji over the
18 day EMA. This moves inversely with the market so
with the rally showing signs of fading, this decline
shows signs of ending.
