Upside Plays
Stock Date Play Close +/- Pivot Tgt Vol TgtV Stop
AMT 05/17 Test BO 41.87 +0.50 41.21 47.50 1.6M 3M 40.11
Buy Not Issued. Could not make the breakaway move last week. Tried but kept coming back. A test of the 10 day EMA (41.06) would set it up nicely.

ANF 05/19 PreAnn 81.46 -1.15 81.38 93.95 1.7M 2.9M 78.78
Gapped higher on its earnings, but peeled off the highs that session and then faded further Friday. Going to drop it for now.

ANSS 05/17 PreSplt 55.97 -0.11 56.68 64.95 315K 520K 54.45
Buy Not Issued. Faded back to the 10 day EMA on low trade after trying the break higher early in the week. The option volume has not picked up so we are dropping it for now.

ATW 03/10 Cup hdl 64.33 +0.74 53.88 61.45 218K 650K 64.97
Current. Testing the 10 day EMA after recovering that level to start the week. Good test Friday, and is in a pretty good position to rebound.

BA 05/15 FlyPlat 98.25 +0.83 96.38 107.95 3.2M 5.2M 95.21
Current. Another move higher Friday with a gap after we took some gain Thursday. Good recovery off a test of near support.

BDX 05/02 Flat 77.13 -0.03 80.85 92.85 661K 1.2M 78.88
Exited. Maybe a bit too conservative as it was still holding the 90 day MA, but not in position if the selling returned.

BHI 05/22 DB hdl 81.67 +0.67 83.75 96.50 2.4M 7M 80.95
Buy Not Issued. Holding at the 10 day EMA with a doji Friday after testing the 18 day EMA on Thursday. Poised to make a move but needs some volume given those highs at 83 to 84.

BIDU 05/09 Cup hdl 130.71 +2.41 132.15 148.50 1.5M 3.2M 129.97
Current. Got caught in the midweek Chinese selling that took it back to the 18 day EMA on the low but it bounced & we expect it to overcome this weakness.

BIIB 05/25 Cup hdl 49.47 +1.56 49.45 56.95 5.7M 5M 47.75
Entered Friday. This was a pattern we were watching on our list and Friday it was jumping further on some strong volume and big option volume. The scuttlebutt is it is a takeout candidate next week and/or there is good news about some of its products.

BTU 04/11 DB hdl 53.96 +1.02 46.32 53.32 3.6M 7M 52.44
Current. Testing the breakout from last week, holding the 10 day EMA Thursday and starting to bounce some Friday. Still in solid shape.

BUCY 05/21 Test 18 66.76 +1.57 68.11 79.95 516K 1M 64.48
Buy Not Hit. Crashed the 18 day EMA Thursday but still in position to make the next move.

CCJ 05/19 FlyPlat 51.10 +1.39 51.45 58.95 1.9M 3.5M 49.57
Current. Dumped to the 18 day EMA on some big Thursday volume but held and bounced Friday. Big option volume on the buy side. Big. That indicates something in the wind.

CEDC 05/08 Test BO 33.69 +0.11 33.08 38.48 1M 400K 32.53
Current. Big volume to end the week and it was not selling volume. From Wednesday to Thursday the volume jumped. Tried to breakout Friday and matched the early May high. Close to a big move.

CHE 04/10 FlyPlat 66.15 +0.22 51.08 59.89 194K 450K 65.38
Current. After another gap higher to start the week, CHE closed it out with a test of the 10 day EMA, showing a tight doji at that level Friday. Just going to let it make this test and bounce again as the selling was on very low volume.

CNX 05/02 DB hdl 48.00 +0.97 44.68 51.88 1.7M 4.3M 46.11
Current. Volatile Thursday, but outside of that a straight up week as CNX made a great move.

COG 04/20 Asc Bse 38.89 +0.65 36.06 41.95 452K 1.4M 37.77
Current. Basically flat on the week after the Thursday fade but held the 10 day EMA and continues its trend higher.

CROX 04/23 Cup hdl 77.57 +2.13 56.20 66.45 2.1M 3.1M 74.77
Current. Tested back to the 10 day EMA Thursday but was back up Friday. Another decent week though it could not hold a candle to the three prior weeks.

CVS 05/08 Test BO 39.08 +0.79 37.55 42.95 22M 20M 37.88
Target Hit. Nice break higher Wednesday thru Friday w/a big price
move (for CVS) Friday. We took part of the 38% option
gain & going to let the rest continue on higher in
a solid uptrend.

CXW 03/26 DB hdl 63.21 +0.98 52.52 59.45 766K 450K 61.11
Current. Another jail break to end the week as CXW moved to a new 7 year high on strong buy side volume from Wednesday on. Looks as if it is ready to take off on another run.

DNR 05/10 Cup hdl 35.56 +0.74 34.58 39.85 636K 1.3M 34.97
Current. Thumped the 18 day EMA on the Thursday selling, but then rebounded Friday. Still holding near support, still holding the trend.

DO 05/01 Test BO 93.38 +1.64 88.18 99.95 1.6M 3.4M 92.04
Current. Tapped the 10 day EMA on the Thursday selling and was back up Friday. Looking at a potential new buy.

EPIQ 05/12 PreSplt 25.65 +1.15 24.80 28.65 408K 175K 24.27
Current. Excellent surge higher on strong volume as EPIQ continues its series of consolidations then strong bounces.

ESV 04/28 Cup hdl 59.43 +1.39 57.84 66.45 1.8M 3.2M 58.45
Current. Thursday was rough, but volume on the downside was not huge; below average. Good bounce back Friday and still in the trend.

FCX 05/23 Asc Bse 74.61 +2.32 74.45 85.00 7.2M 12M 71.55
Entered today. Not a ton of volume Friday, but FCX broke higher to a new closing high. We went on in and started some positions.

GILD 05/16 PreSplt 81.74 -0.59 84.38 94.95 2.5M 6.5M 81.89
Buy Not Issued. Faded below the 18 day EMA. Low volume. Going to drop for now but will keep an eye on it.

GME 05/24 Test 18 35.79 +0.58 35.57 40.95 1.6M 3.5M 34.62
Buy Not Issued. Bounced some Friday as we were looking for but decided to hold off as volume remained low. If it continues higher & gets a bit of trade it is a buy.

GSF 04/26 Asc Bse 67.79 +0.86 65.34 75.30 3.1M 6M 66.36
Current. Doji with tail that tapped the 10 day EMA on the Friday low. Held near support Thursday and is in great position to continue higher.

HAL 05/09 Dbl btm 36.12 +0.22 33.99 39.95 13M 30M 35.78
Current. Dumped to the 10 day EMA on the Thursday selling. Volume was up but still below average. Bounced modestly Friday, and after this shakeout it will be ready for much more.

HURN 05/10 PreAnn 65.73 +0.08 67.14 76.95 165K 350K 64.11
Current. Good recovery week that took it back over the 10 day EMA and the mid-April 'hump.' Nice lateral move to end the week. Setting up nicely to continue higher.

ICE 05/08 DB hdl 144.99 +2.83 137.48 157.00 2.2M 5M 148.24
Current. Gave us a nice surge and we took some nice gain. Then it faded lower on the Thursday selling but it caught the 10 day EMA and showed a nice, low volume doji there. Looking for some upside from here and a new buy.

KWK 05/24 Test BO 43.50 +0.95 43.55 49.95 606K 1.1M 41.95
Buy Not Issued. The pullback looks over, and if KWK can get some volume as it rebounds it is a buy.

MA 04/27 Cup hdl 139.07 +0.09 113.88 128.95 1.5M 4.5M 136.98
Current. Still holding the gains after the surge, trying to set up for another break higher. Nice tight doji on the 10 day EMA Friday. Needs to clear 141 with some authority to get past that early may peak.

MRO 04/20 PreAnn 119.60 +2.60 101.89 116.95 3.2M 5.6M 117.32
Current. Gapped higher again as MRO continues its very impressive run.

NE 05/12 PreAnn 90.59 +1.74 90.31 101.75 1.4M 3.6M 88.22
Current. Still holding the 10 day EMA, recovering that level after the Thursday drop to test the 18 day EMA. It is still holding the trend but have to watch it after that Thursday higher volume selling.

NKE 05/24 Test BO 54.28 -0.19 54.68 62.95 2.3M 3.6M 53.22
Buy Not Hit. Now it has made the test of the 10 day EMA and is ready to move higher.

OSK 05/05 Cup hdl 62.08 +0.48 59.10 67.95 901K 850K 60.77
Current. Volume came in late in the week as OSK managed just a modest break higher. Still trending nicely up the 10 day EMA.

PENN 05/05 FlyPlat 52.03 +0.57 50.57 58.45 973K 1.5M 50.48
Current. Nice move up on volume to above average as PENN came back off the 10 day EMA test and put in a new closing high. Good week that saw it gap up; now it needs to consummate with another big move out of this short range.

PTNR 04/18 Test BO 17.50 -0.78 16.85 19.98 1.2M 606K 17.95
Trailing Stop. Sold on high volume so we closed it out.

Current. Good week as VIVO broke from the lateral consolidation on some excellent trade Wednesday and Thursday. Could not move higher Friday, but working nicely.
