Upside Plays
Stock Date Play Close +/- Pivot Tgt Vol TgtV Stop
AAPL 09/22 PreAnn 186.29 -5.49 148.22 169.75 35M 4.8M 187.77
Current. Could not hold the great Tuesday upside session and made a modest pullback through Wednesday. AAPL caught in some of the market flow faded back to the 10 day EMA on near average volume. It was down another point or so after hours on the CSCO earnings. Need to see it hold support here or close the option positions.

AAPL 08/21 PreAnn 186.29 -5.49 131.45 149.95 35M 45M 187.77
Current.

ABAX 10/31 Test BO 32.18 +0.46 30.94 36.95 776K 365K 30.77
Current. Managed to close flat in a very volatile market Wednesday. Has high volume and looks to be resting from here until the market settles down a bit. In pretty good shape.

AGU 10/25 Test 18 62.99 -1.18 58.88 68.95 1.6M 1.7M 62.65
Current. Weathered some short selling from the market action Wednesday with above average volume as AGU made a minor pullback from the Tuesday high. Nothing too serious with AGU looking to near key support here before resuming the move.

AMT 10/30 Test BO 44.13 -1.74 45.21 52.65 3.8M 3M 44.64
Exited. Gapped and sold below key support Wednesday on high volume and was time to let this one go.

AOB 11/05 Test BO 12.13 -0.64 13.88 16.88 2.4M 1.8M 12.91
Buy Not Hit. Sold below the 18 day EMA on above average volume and was definitely not the move we were looking to enter on so we took it off the table.

APC 11/06 Test BO 59.10 -0.77 60.15 69.95 6.5M 5M 57.88
Buy Not Issued. Quiet day for APC as it held up well against a downside session in the market. Had high volume in the move but held its ground, ready to enter once it resumes the Monday breakout with a bit more stability.

ATHR 11/06 Test BO 33.12 -1.56 33.88 42.45 1.3M 1.8M 32.81
Buy Not Hit. Snuggling up more to the 10 day EMA as we thought it might. Still a good buy point coming here as it nears key support and looks to start some upside movement soon.

BEAV 10/18 Cup hdl 49.37 -1.16 46.82 54.65 624K 1.7M 48.32
Current. Gave a minor pullback through Wednesday on below average volume in the market trend. Nothing too serious here as BEAV held low trade in the move and looks to have a short test here before resuming the Cup hdl higher.

BIDU 10/22 Test 18 394.99 -12.70 329.55 375.85 6.6M 6M 407.95
Trailing Stop. Did not sell off hard but after this run we wanted to bank some of the 88% gain ($4130/contract) on the options. Hit the stop loss mark on the selling through Wednesday and had to remove it from the table. If it tests & holds the 10 day EMA we will look at new positions and ride it again.

CF 11/05 Test 18 96.02 +2.84 88.26 99.95 3.3M 2.2M 85.05
Buy Not Issued.

CF 10/09 Test BO 96.02 +2.84 76.22 91.45 3.3M 1.9M 93.48
Current. CF going against the flow Wednesday continuing the upside week to gain some high volume and push even higher into the 96s. Pretty impressive.

CIEN 10/13 Test BO 46.78 -1.51 45.23 55.65 3.2M 3.3M 46.44
Current. Held up well, but CSCO earnings were not enough after hrs and CIEN was down to 46.20 in sympathy in after hours trade. Need to see it hold support here near the 18 day EMA to keep it on the table.

CMED 11/01 Test BO 43.25 -0.58 44.53 52.65 319K 1M 42.88
Current. Nice doji at support Wednesday with fading, low volume as the market downsides through the session brought CMED a bit lower. Held the 18 day EMA on the low and looks to start upside again soon after this nice, full test of the late October high.

CNQ 10/26 PreAnn 83.83 -1.09 79.65 90.95 3.4M 2M 82.72
Target Hit. Gapped higher and rallied ahead of the weekly inventories. We sold ahead of the inventories and took some nice gain (72.7% option, 400/contract). It came back for a loss after that. No issues & will let it test; it is in a great uptrend, & with oil moving to $100 that will only help this stock.

CTDC 10/17 Test BO 8.23 +0.43 9.81 12.00 623K 2M 9.12
Current. There is life at the 50 day EMA as CTDC posted some modest gains Wednesday on below average volume. Started to bounce, and going to let it do more.

CTRP 10/17 Test BO 57.09 -4.18 52.65 62.95 1.7M 1M 59.57
Target Hit. Solid early but we took some gain ahead of earnings and it sold off to close at support. 13.77% stock, 55% option ($470/contract). Will see what conference call tonight says re earnings. May get another buying opportunity here.

DE 10/25 PreSplt 154.32 -5.98 154.63 169.65 2.2M 3M 157.32
Current. Lower volume, held up well all things considered. Sold off late as they tossed the baby with the bathwater in the last half hour. Nears the key 18 day EMA this week and need to see DE hold at the support there to keep this one alive.

EDU 11/03 Test 18 80.50 -4.04 83.78 99.95 389K 658K 79.45
Current. Modest pullback after a great upside Tuesday session for EDU, had low volume in the selling Wednesday as it returned to the 18 day EMA. Held the average quite well and looking to see EDU resume upside soon.

EDU 10/22 Test BO 80.50 -4.04 76.28 87.45 389K 550K 87.84
Current.

EDU 10/10 Test BO 80.50 -4.04 68.61 78.95 389K 475K 87.84
Current.

EJ 11/01 Test BO 30.50 -0.70 32.42 40.95 1M 1.2M 30.15
Buy Not Issued.

EJ 10/22 Test 18 30.50 -0.70 29.71 35.95 1M 1.4M 33.21
Current. Held support on the short pullback Wednesday with above average volume. Nice full test back to key support at the 18 day EMA and EJ looking pretty good to start upside again soon from this test.

ESRX 10/11 Test BO 63.52 -1.46 58.50 69.95 1.6M 2.5M 62.97
Current. Expecting a new entry point here at the 10 day EMA as ESRX continues its test lower from the early November high. GOOD stock for this defensive market.

FCX 10/13 Test BO 108.10 -5.40 117.92 134.95 12M 12M 114.04
Current. Rolled back a bit Wednesday on some mild selling to near the 50 day EMA on above average volume. Expecting a bounce soon off the key support at the 50 day EMA.

FMCN 10/27 Test BO 64.05 -1.05 59.25 69.45 6.1M 4M 63.05
Current. Doji on the low after modest selling through Wednesday with high volume. FMCN with a quick, intraday test here and looks to resume the move higher soon.

GILD 10/24 Cup hdl 44.62 -2.49 44.95 53.45 7.8M 10M 45.87
Exited. Weathered some intense selling Wednesday with above average volume and had to get out of this one as it closed beneath the key 18 day EMA.

GRMN 10/22 Test 18 89.34 -11.21 119.11 140.45 11M 6.5M 120.65
Exited. Tuesday left us with some great feelings for GRMN as it began a strong pullback from its testing low but the volatile market proved otherwise Wednesday. Market put GRMN through some rough selling in the session with high volume to close well beneath the 90 day SMA and tell us it was time to let go of this one.

GSOL 11/03 Test 18 31.17 -2.46 32.88 39.95 608K 400K 32.38
Current. Struggling Wednesday back at the 18 day EMA after some modest selling through the session. Needs to hold on near the 18 day EMA.

HOLX 10/29 Test BO 63.98 -0.44 67.85 79.95 3.8M 3M 65.77
Current. Tough session but not a bad one. Recovered after the earnings issue on Tuesday, then sold some today. Willing to let it test above the 50 day EMA here and rebound off there.

HOLX 09/25 Dbl btm 63.98 -0.44 58.58 66.95 3.8M 1.6M 66.21
Current.

ICE 11/05 Test BO 173.41 -4.93 177.57 199.95 1.3M 2.5M 171.69
Current. Returned to the 10 day EMA on the low with the market selling through Wednesday but ICE doing a great job of holding at the key support at the close. Has below average volume and needing ICE to hold the key support here.

IDC 10/25 Cup hdl 30.62 -1.18 31.63 36.95 323K 300K 30.56
Current. Selling in the volatile market brought IDC to close just below the 18 day EMA Wednesday with above average volume. Really need to see IDC hold the key 18 day EMA here.

IMO 10/20 Rev HS 58.05 -0.79 51.46 60.95 615K 300K 56.86
Target Hit. Worked to perfection with a classic move after a good surge. About all the good news an oil stock could have heading into the oil inventories. Took some solid 19.2% stock and 154% option gain. Will let it test and look for more positions.

ININ 11/03 Test BO 25.56 -1.35 26.84 32.31 259K 300K 25.78
Current. Tossed out late with everything to post a gap on the low and then sell some Wednesday. Nice test for ININ however.

JOYG 10/31 Test BO 56.07 -0.82 56.95 66.95 2.2M 2.2M 55.32
Current. Held the 10 day EMA on the low after a bit of light selling Wednesday with above average volume. Important to see JOYG stay above the supports here to keep this one alive.

KCI 11/06 Asc Tri 60.77 -1.73 63.15 72.95 1.1M 1.1M 60.97
Buy Not Hit. Rough selling pulled KCI back to the 10 day EMA on above average volume Wednesday. Nice job holding the support on the low. Need to see it continue to hold here to keep it on the table.

MR 10/27 Test 50 37.35 -1.15 40.00 47.95 1.1M 1.2M 37.97
Current. MR posted a doji on some minor selling Wednesday with above average volume to ride the market through the session. Just letting it bottom here with something of a double bottom at the 90 day SMA to look forward to.

NDAQ 10/20 Cup hdl 47.20 -1.60 41.68 49.88 4.1M 3M 46.65
Current. Modest pullback Wednesday on above average volume for NDAQ as it makes a quick test out of this market volatility. Looks to sell a bit lower here to the 10 day EMA on this above average trade before resetting for the next move higher.

NYX 11/01 Test BO 87.82 -2.58 91.29 99.95 4M 7M 89.32
Current. Low volume so not really selling off Wednesday, just rode the market trend for a bit. Nothing too dangerous. It will likely turn back up, but cannot let it slip much further here or have to cut it off.

NYX 10/23 Cup 87.82 -2.58 88.85 99.95 4M 5M 91.94
Current.

PCLN 10/30 Test 50 90.31 +1.35 91.08 99.95 1.1M 1.2M 88.21
Current. Not bad action at all in this volatile market as PCLN posted some modest upside movement Wednesday on above average volume. Nice.

RIG 09/25 Cup hdl 125.79 -3.85 113.85 126.95 8.9M 8M 127.21
Current. Right at the stop point after some high volume selling in the market trend Wednesday. Want to see it hold near 125 or fill the gap from 124 and hold the line.

RIG 09/11 PreAnn 125.79 -3.85 109.95 126.95 8.9M 10M 127.21
Current.

RIMM 08/25 Test BO 133.03 +1.99 79.76 99.95 31M 30M 127.48
Current. Another solid session on its own with some decent upside movement through Wednesday, but the doji at the high indicates may test back some, particularly after CSCOs earnings.

RIO 10/27 FlyPlat 35.84 -1.91 36.98 44.65 22M 34M 35.88
Current. Modest pullback below the 10 day EMA Wednesday in the market selling as RIO closed back in the 25s on below average volume. Needs to hold here near the key 18 day EMA as support.

SGR 10/31 Test BO 75.16 -0.74 75.57 85.89 1.3M 1.7M 73.38
Current. Light selling Wednesday in a downside market with SGR holding up pretty well. Saw a bit of a fade in volume and SGR in good shape to resume the move higher soon.

SGR 10/23 Test BO 75.16 -0.74 71.95 82.95 1.3M 1.5M 74.32
Current.

SLT 10/23 Asc Bse 25.01 +0.01 22.88 26.98 4.2M 2M 24.77
Current. Held the Tuesday high against a volatile downside session in the market. SLT in great shape to continue the move higher from here.

SNDA 11/03 Asc Bse 38.90 -0.29 40.76 48.95 1.8M 2.4M 38.11
Buy Not Hit. Weathered some light selling Wednesday but ultimately held near the Tuesday high on average volume. Currently sits at the 10 day EMA and ready to enter once it shows some upside movement in the Asc bse.

SNP 10/27 Test BO 141.55 -3.37 154.87 179.85 950K 900K 151.48
Current. Doji on the low through some modest selling Wednesday for SNP. Held above average volume in the step lower and needs to continue to hold support here near the 50 day EMA.

STLD 10/20 PreAnn 51.10 -1.83 50.15 59.95 1.4M 3M 52.88
Current. Wednesday STLD sold back to the 18 day EMA but managed to hold the average on the low with below average volume. Not bad, looks to continue upside again soon if it can keep above the key support.

STP 11/03 Test BO 64.80 +0.30 60.48 71.95 4.5M 4M 66.48
Current. Up to 68.50 after hours on the strong FSLR numbers, holding above average volume in the modest post higher. Pretty impressive.

SU 11/01 Test BO 111.39 -2.07 108.58 123.85 4.4M 3M 110.89
Target Hit. Another tar sand that surged ahead of oil inventories and we took some gain: 8.3% stock, 45% option gain ($500/contract). It then struggled through the remainder of the session. It will likely hold near the 10 day EMA (108)or higher, and then start back up. That may give us a new entry point.

SU 10/10 Cup hdl 111.39 -2.07 98.72 112.95 4.4M 2.6M 110.89
Current.

TDG 10/29 Test BO 43.99 -1.69 46.25 55.45 159K 250K 43.88
Buy Not Hit. Sold below the 10 and 18 day EMA through Wednesday on below average volume. Critical for TDG to hold the upcoming 50 day EMA on the low as key support if it wants to stay on the table.

TKC 11/06 Cup hdl 23.18 -0.82 24.21 28.95 1.5M 1.5M 23.11
Buy Not Hit. Posted some mild selling Wednesday on above average volume to land and hold at the 10 day EMA on the low. Need to see TKC holding the key average here.

WFR 11/03 Test BO 73.80 -0.94 74.00 87.95 7.7M 6.2M 72.68
Current. Gapped higher and closed a bit lower. This is considered a solar play on the chip side and its strength shows it. A further test could give us a new buy point.

XTO 10/31 Test BO 64.05 -2.49 67.33 76.95 3.9M 4.5M 65.18
Exited. A real disappointment after what looked to be some strong upside movement coming soon after this rest. Had to let this one go after the above average volume through the 10 and 18 day EMAs on the low.

Downside Plays
Stock Date Play Close +/- Pivot Tgt Vol TgtV Stop
AMR 10/15 Put 21.52 -0.51 23.88 21.85 8.4M 8M 23.57
Target Hit. Gapped lower and showed a doji. Hit our target, and with the doji we decided to bank the nice 46.6% gain.

LRCX 10/30 Put 46.59 -1.12 49.45 46.88 2.5M 2.8M 48.05
Target Hit. Continued selling Wednesday on rising, above average volume, hitting our target on the move. Banked some solid 40.6% gain.
