THE PLAYS

Good movers: IGLD; ROSE; SAF

New Plays:

Upside:

Play Date: 05/10/2007
LYO (Lyondell Chemical--$33.07; -0.50; optionable): Chemicals
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/l/lyo.html
EARNINGS: 4-26-07
STATUS: Breakout test. Nice low volume test the past week as LYO sold back to near support, tapping at the 18 day EMA on the low and rebounding to close over the 10 day EMA. It exploded higher last week, moving off the 50 day EMA and out of its 12 week cup base. Nice test of a nice break higher. Looking for volume to rebound as LYO bounces back up off of this test.
Volume: 2.294M Avg Volume: 2.775M
BUY POINT: $33.88 Volume=3M Target=$39.95 Stop=$32.48
POSITION: LYO IF - Sept. $30c (52 delta) &/or Stock

Play Date: 05/10/2007
NVEC (NVE Corp.--$34.39; -1.27; no options): Semiconductors
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/n/nvec.html
EARNINGS: Announced 5-2-07
STATUS: Cup w/handle. NVEC gapped higher on earnings, forming the right side of its 6 month cup base that formed roughly using the 200 day SMA as support. After that blast higher it has worked laterally the past three sessions on lower volume, working on the handle. Really like how it is holding its gains even in the market selling on Thursday. Excellent money flow is holding up very well. NVEC made us some good money in 2006, and this base is setting it up to make us more money. High volume on the break higher is what we want to see.
Volume: 215.206K Avg Volume: 258.263K
BUY POINT: $36.05 Volume=400K Target=$43.45 Stop=$33.98
POSITION: - Stock (no option chain)

Play Date: 05/10/2007
TMO (Thermo Fisher Scientific--$52.05; -0.32; optionable): Analytical instruments, reagents, software and a whole lot more all in one package!
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/t/tmo.html
EARNINGS: Announced 4-26-07
STATUS: Breakout test. TMO blasted higher on the earnings report, clearing an 11 week base on strong trade. The move took it to a new all-time high. It is now testing that move, fading back to the 10 day EMA (52.12) on the test, holding near that level Thursday on continued low, below average volume, exactly what you want to see in a test. Excellent action and going to wait patiently for it to show us the break higher on volume. This is the kind of test you want the indices to show versus that big one-day slump lower. In any event, this it its third base on this run so it still has plenty of upside here.
Volume: 2.196M Avg Volume: 2.931M
BUY POINT: $52.86 Volume=3.5M Target=$60.85 Stop=$51.18
POSITION: TMO IJ - Sept. $50c (52 delta) &/or Stock

New buy point on current position:

Play Date: 05/10/2007
FLIR (Flir Systems--$42.33; -0.60; optionable): Scientific & technical instruments
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/f/flir.html
EARNINGS: Announced 4-27-07
STATUS: Test 18 day EMA. FLIR broke out from a big rangy double bottom with handle in February, then formed a quick 5 week cup through March. It broke out and ran up to 44 on the move, making us some nice gain along the way. It is now testing that breakout fading back to the 18 day EMA on the Wednesday low before rebounding, and then posting a modest loss in the Thursday selling that closed it over the 10 day EMA (42.06). Looking for a hold in this 10 or 18 day EMA (41) range and then a resumption of the move when the market pullback is over.
Volume: 1.241M Avg Volume: 56.947M
BUY POINT: $43.05 Volume=1.2M Target=$49.50 Stop=$40.98
POSITION: FFQ GH - July $40c (70 delta) &/or Stock
