THE PLAYS
Upside:
Play Date: 10/29/2007
BGC (General Cable--$71.58; +1.95; optionable): wire and cable
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/b/bgc.html
EARNINGS: 10-31-07 after the close
STATUS: Cup w/handle. Taking another look at BGC as it held the 50 day EMA (68.80) on last week's low and bounced modestly. Pretty nice handle has formed the past two weeks to a 15 week base. Strong run in 2006 through July and this base is allowing it to digest the gains and set the foundation for the next breakout and run higher. Looking for some solid volume as it makes the break higher. Earnings are after the Fed decision comes out and that gives us a really good look after the announcement and ahead of the earnings after the close.
Volume: 1.07M Avg Volume: 1.726M
BUY POINT: $72.11 Volume=2.6M Target=$82.95 Stop=$69.48
POSITION: BGC BN - Feb. $70c (55 delta) &/or Stock

Play Date: 10/29/2007
DRYS (Dryships--$130.97; +7.47; optionable): Bulk shipping
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/d/drys.html
EARNINGS: Third week of November
STATUS: Flying plateau. Made us some great money in its September to October run following its August breakout. One of the strongest runners in the market, it refused to give up any gains as it took a breather, and Monday it was moving higher on a super shot of volume, clearing the recent highs in this two week range. Ready to move in as DRYS continues its run.
Volume: 5.285M Avg Volume: 2.608M
BUY POINT: $131.48 Volume=3.2M Target=$157.45 Stop=$125.92
POSITION: DQR AV - Jan. $130c (58 delta)

Play Date: 10/29/2007
TDG (TransDigm Group--$46.01; +3.05; optionable): Aerospace/defense
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/t/tdg.html
EARNINGS: Second week November
STATUS: Test 50 day EMA. TDG is a top rates stock in terms of earnings growth rates and it has a great pattern to go with it. It broke higher in late September from an 11 week reverse head and shoulders base. It rallied to 47 in late September and has since come back to test, falling to the 50 day EMA (43.11), holding there last week. Monday it was back in the game, rallying nicely on stronger, above average volume. Nice test and ready to move in as TDG continues its breakout move.
Volume: 241.3K Avg Volume: 231.877K
BUY POINT: $46.25 Volume=250K Target=$55.45 Stop=$43.88
POSITION: TDG BI - Feb. $45c (52 delta) &/or Stock

New buy point on a current position:
Play Date: 10/29/2007
HOLX (Hologic--$67.15; +1.31; optionable): Medical appliances (Mammogram machines)
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/h/holx.html
EARNINGS: 11-6-07
STATUS: Breakout test. HOLX surged higher for us with a late September breakout from its 19 week double bottom base. Strong volume on the breakout, and some distribution volume as the run stalled & it started to sell some. Held up well, however, coming back to the 18 day EMA (65.46) the past week, testing that level on the intraday lows and bouncing. Monday it bounced up on rising, average trade. It looks as if this first test of the breakout is over and HOLX is ready for the upside once more with a run into earnings. Looking to move in as it continues this bounce on some solid trade. Great stock in great position.
Volume: 2.074M Avg Volume: 2.103M
BUY POINT: $68.89 Volume=3M Target=$79.95 Stop=$65.32
POSITION: QHX AM - Jan. $65c (62 delta) &/or Stock
