THE PLAYS
Good movers: HMSY; VCLK
New Plays:
Upside:
Play Date: 03/22/2007
ISRG (Intuitive Surgical--$120.66; +4.46; optionable): Medical appliances
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/i/isrg.html
EARNINGS: 4-19-07
STATUS: Cup. A nice money maker for us in 2005, ISRG is coming out of a 15 month base, surging Thursday on strong volume as it cleared the February high achieved via another big surge. Strong stock that was victim of its rapid rise and needed a long base. Looking to move in as it continues higher.
Volume: 1.932M Avg Volume: 945.75K
BUY POINT: $121.45 Volume=1M Target=$135.00 Stop=$118.25
POSITION: AXQ GD - July $120c (59 delta)

Play Date: 03/22/2007
LHCG (LHC Group--$30.21; +1.11; optionable): Home health care
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/l/lhcg.html
EARNINGS: Announced 2-28-07
STATUS: Test 50 day EMA. Looking at this one again as LHCG found support at the 50 day EMA (28.11) this week and blasted higher Thursday on strong volume. Heading for a new all-time high and really running as it does. Like how it filled the gap from the earnings in late February and is surging right back up.
Volume: 516.554K Avg Volume: 167.88K
BUY POINT: $30.38 Volume=225K Target=$34.95 Stop=$28.65
POSITION: HQC FF - Jun $30c (59 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ci/lhcg.html
Play Date: 03/22/2007
MA (MasterCard--$109.57; -1.13; optionable): Credit services
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/m/ma.html
EARNINGS: 5-2-07
STATUS: Cup. Had a hard time with earnings in early February, but set up the current 7 week base over the 90 day MA and started higher Wednesday on strong, above average volume. Thursday it tested back some on very low volume. May form a handle here before moving up, but want to be ready to move in as it breaks higher once more.
Volume: 1.325M Avg Volume: 3.21M
BUY POINT: $110.78 Volume=4.5M Target=$121.00 Stop=$106.74
POSITION: MA GB - July $110c (56 delta)

Downside
Play Date: 03/22/2007
SYY (Sysco--$32.66; -0.22; optionable): Wholesale food
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/s/syy.html
EARNINGS: 1-29-07
STATUS: Put. Broad top in December and January and then started trending lower with a big drop in late February. It has recovered off of that drop, making it back to the 200 day SMA (32.94) on low volume. Thursday volume surged as SYY showed a big doji below that resistance. Looking for it to turn down from here and continue the downtrend. A move to the target with the 32.50 options lands a 55%ish gain; the $35 options a 40%ish gain.
Volume: 4.337M Avg Volume: 2.583M
BUY POINT: $32.46 Volume=3M Target=$31.00 Stop=$33.05
POSITION: SYY QZ - May $32.50p (-39 delta) or SYY QG - May $35p (-79 delta)
