THE PLAYS
Good movers: VDSI; WFR
New Plays: Looking for an upside bounce and looking at some very strong stocks that held up in the selling as they will be leaders in any rebound. After a rebound we can look at some downside as well.
Upside:
Play Date: 07/26/2007
GSF (Globalsantafe--$75.00; -2.09; optionable): Offshore drilling
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/g/gsf.html
EARNINGS: 8-1-07
STATUS: Breakout test. GSF has made us good money on its run higher, and as it tests the Monday gap higher after announced a merger with RIG it has tested back, using the market selling to fill the gap. That is setting it up for the next move higher as it has shown great strength even in this market selling, using it for its own purposes. We are looking to move in and catch GSF as it continues back up. Two sectors of the oil portion of energy held up (drilling and services), and GSF is on the first and is set up to move again.
Volume: 8.012M Avg Volume: 4.988M
BUY POINT: $76.22 Volume=6M Target=$87.85 Stop=$74.11
POSITION: GSF JO - Oct. $75c (49 delta) &/or Stock

Play Date: 07/26/2007
RIMM (Research in Motion--$223.64; -1.72; optionable): Handheld wireless communication devices. Splits 3:1 on 8/21/07
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/r/rimm.html
EARNINGS: 9-27-07
STATUS: Test 18 day EMA. RIMM exploded higher in late June and continued higher for us into mid-July, making us a lot of money on that run. This week it has come back, dumping down toward the 18 day EMA (216.80), using the market selling to take a breather, holding above 220 on the lows. While the market struggled Thursday, RIMM tried to move higher on Apple's coattails but could not hold it. Showing a lot of pop still, and looking to move in as it makes the next break higher.
Volume: 8.789M Avg Volume: 7.295M
BUY POINT: $225.55 Volume=10M Target=$249.50 Stop=$219.22
POSITION: RFY IF - Sept. $230c (48 delta)

New buy point on current positions:
Play Date: 07/26/2007
DO (Diamond Offshore--$106.36; -3.89; optionable): Offshore drilling
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/d/do.html
EARNINGS: 7/26/07 before the open
STATUS: Test 18 day EMA. DO announced earnings before the open, and given the panic in the market early on (and later in the day as well), DO gapped lower. It held the 18 day EMA, showing a big doji at that level as volume ramped up sharply. DO remains a market leader even with this pullback. Indeed, it is this pullback that we are looking at to give us another entry point on this strong stock.
Volume: 3.764M Avg Volume: 2.715M
BUY POINT: $107.68 Volume=4M Target=$123.95 Stop=$103.95
POSITION: DO LB - Dec. $110c (48 delta)
