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.

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.

ASIA 11/05 Test BO 10.86 -0.86 11.69 14.85 425K 750K 10.87
Current. Went through some tough selling but held the 18 day EMA on the low at the close Wednesday with below average volume. Need to see ASIA hold/bounce higher from here.

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.

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.

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.

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 10/20 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.

GLDN 10/30 Test BO 101.02 +1.16 102.62 119.95 382K 490K 98.78
Current. Very nice upside action in a volatile market with GLDN on above average volume posting a doji on modest gains in the session. The doji a good sign of a rest/test from here unless the buyers overpower some more to take the move higher. Either way in really nice shape.

GLDN 09/05 DB hdl 101.02 +1.16 73.36 83.95 382K 589K 104.92
Current.

GOOG 09/15 Cup 732.93 -8.85 534.86 562.95 8.2M 45M 732.32
Target Hit. Saw some modest selling Wednesday in the downside market trend through the session to hit the stop loss mark and had to be taken off the table. It will likely still go up, but after a big spring thru 700 it rolled over on some heavy trade. December options was the key; wanted to take the gain before time becomes an issue and the market likely sells some and drags it down with it. Thus, banked some 484% option gain ($16,970/contract) with GOOG still in good shape.

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.

HK 11/06 Test BO 18.08 -0.61 18.89 22.75 1.6M 1.7M 17.89
Buy Not Issued. Sold back to hold the 10 day EMA on the low as support with just above average volume. Sits near the 18 day EMA and need to see HK hold at this range along key support here in the volatile market.

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.

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.

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.

SCSC 11/05 Test BO 34.61 -1.41 36.11 42.95 167K 375K 33.95
Buy Not Issued. Pullback to the 10 day EMA Wednesday on below average volume so not selling too hard. Just caught in the market flow but still needs to hold above the key 10 day EMA to keep us interested.

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.

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.

SSRX 11/03 Test BO 18.27 -0.72 20.11 24.95 214K 597K 18.89
Buy Not Hit. Held the 18 day EMA on the low as key support after a quiet step lower in the market trend with SSRX on fading, low volume. Nothing too horrifying here with the low volume move in the market trend with SSRX in decent shape to start upside from the test soon. Still, very critical that it SSRX holds here.

STLD 10/22 Rev HS 51.10 -1.83 53.22 62.55 1.4M 2M 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.

STR 10/25 Cup hdl 54.94 -1.71 55.77 63.75 1.1M 1.3M 55.38
Current. Held the 18 day EMA on some above average volume selling through Wednesday in the intraday market trend lower. This is where STR needs to make its stand at the key support.

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.

TGB 10/20 Test BO 5.85 -0.26 6.07 8.29 1.4M 1.9M 5.77
Current. Held the 10 day EMA on the low after some modest selling Wednesday with just below average volume. Nearing the 18 day EMA(5.72) and looks to resume the move higher again soon from here off the key support levels.

TISI 10/25 Test 18 32.36 -1.99 31.38 37.38 158K 200K 32.45
Current. Continues its volatile ways after some modest selling Wednesday in the market trend. However, lower trade than the upside movement from Tuesday and letting it make its jagged move higher.

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.

TLM 10/20 Rev HS 21.30 -0.56 21.63 26.75 3.2M 4.5M 20.84
Current. Closed near the 10 day EMA on the low after some modest selling in the Wednesday session with above average volume. Need to see TLM hold the key support here at the upcoming 10 day EMA.

VIVO 11/03 DB hdl 31.48 -2.47 33.53 39.95 535K 500K 32.08
Current. Sold back to the 18 day EMA to hold at the average at the close with high volume. Need to see VIVO keep above this support from here.

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.
