THE PLAYS
Upside:
Play Date: 10/24/2007
BGC (General Cable--$71.23; -0.77; optionable): Cable and wire
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/b/bgc.html
EARNINGS: 10-31-07
STATUS: Cup w/handle. Taking a new run at BGC as it sets back up for a new run. Nice test back this past week, tapping at the 90 day SMA (69.20) on the Monday and Wednesday lows, then rebounding modestly. Forming a nice handle to its 15 week base, and all we have to do is let BGC continue to set up and then show us the breakout move.
Volume: 1.042M Avg Volume: 1.712M
BUY POINT: $72.11 Volume=2.6M Target=$82.95 Stop=$69.48
POSITION: BGC BN - Feb. $70c (55 delta) &/or Stock

Play Date: 10/24/2007
CRNT (Ceragon Networks--$18.63; -0.25; optionable): Point to point wireless backhaul solutions
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/c/crnt.html
EARNINGS: Announced 10-22-07
STATUS: Cup w/handle. Forming a short handle to its short 4 week base formed using the 50 day EMA as support on the lows. Came to life in May after a long, long dormancy. Great run and it needed a breather to set back up for a new run. Strong volume Monday as it announced some excellent earnings. Spent Tuesday and Wednesday testing; may take another session or two to complete the handle. We just need to be ready to move in as it shows us the breakout move.
Volume: 1.418M Avg Volume: 1.601M
BUY POINT: $19.55 Volume=2.4M Target=$23.48 Stop=$18.18
POSITION: QMC CW - Mar. $17.50c (66 delta) &/or Stock

Play Date: 10/24/2007
GILD (Gilead Sciences--$43.96; +0.94; optionable): Biotechnology
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/g/gild.html
EARNINGS: Announced 10-18-07
STATUS: Breakout test. GILD broke out from a 22 week cup with handle base to start the month. It has traded in a very choppy range, jerking up and down the past two weeks. Investors seem to have gotten a handle on the earnings released last week, and Wednesday volume moved up above average as it cleared the recent highs. Like that action in a weaker market, indicating this a stock getting money as investors hesitate in other areas. Looking for a continued move up to move in.
Volume: 8.203M Avg Volume: 7.609M
BUY POINT: $44.12 Volume=10M Target=$52.95 Stop=$42.32
POSITION: GDQ AV - Jan. $42.50c (64 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ci/gild.html
Downside:
Play Date: 10/24/2007
DIA (DJ30 ETF--$136.50; +0.08; optionable)
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/d/dia.html
STATUS: Head and shoulders. As the Dow's pattern is weak we want to be ready to move in if it should break down. Hard sell off Friday below the 50 day EMA (136.88) and then a low volume rebound on the Dow back up to tap that level. This action indicates a lack of buyers on the rebound, and if it rolls over we will look to make a play on the downside run. A move to the target lands a 40%ish gain.
Volume: 22.584M Avg Volume: 17.641M
BUY POINT: $136.05 Volume=20M Target=$133.80 Stop=$136.95
POSITION: DAZ WG - Nov. $137p (-45 delta)
http://www.investmenthouse.com/ci/dia.html
Play Date: 10/24/2007
SPY (SP500 ETF--$151.48; -0.28; optionable)
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/s/spy.html
STATUS: Head and shoulders. Similar to the Dow, SP500 sold off hard through the 50 day EMA (151.51) last Friday and has made a lower volume rebound to test that level. Critical juncture for the large cap index and we just want to be ready if the market rolls over and SPY goes over with it; with this week pattern it is likely to do that on any further weakness.
Volume: 326.694M Avg Volume: 214.384M
BUY POINT: $151.18 Volume=20M Target=$147.70 Stop=$151.68
POSITION: SYH WV - Nov. $152p (-47 delta)
