THE PLAYS:
Upside: Top-rated stocks in position to move well for us.
Play Date: 12/22/2007
APH (Amphenol Corp.--$46.50; +0.76; optionable): Electrical, electronic, and fiber optic connectors
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/a/aph.html
EARNINGS: Mid-January
STATUS: Breakout test. Gapped higher Friday after a 2 week test of the early December breakout from a double bottom with handle base. Nicely formed, using the 50 day EMA as the bottom of the base with volume jumping higher as it made the breakout move to start the month. Very nice, orderly test to near support at the 18 day EMA (44.89), and now ready to give us another run with this consolidation under its belt. Excellent action sending APH to a new all-time high.
Volume: 965.6K Avg Volume: 943.426K
BUY POINT: $46.82 Volume=1M Target=$53.95 Stop=$44.78
POSITION: APH DI - Apr. $45c (63 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cd/aph.html
Play Date: 12/22/2007
CMED (China Medical Technologies--$43.53; +0.07; optionable): Chinese medical instruments
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/c/cmed.html
EARNINGS: Third week of January
STATUS: Reverse head and shoulders. After another test toward the 90 day SMA (39.72) to start last week, CMED rebounded to continue the work on its 11 week base. Not a lot of volume on the week as it rebounded, but still a solid pattern and we are looking for CMED to test briefly above the 10 day EMA (42.76) and then to break higher. Want to see volume bump up a bit on that move and then we step in.
Volume: 203.115K Avg Volume: 640.032K
BUY POINT: $44.05 Volume=1M Target=$54.95 Stop=$41.94
POSITION: QCY CI - Mar. $45c (55 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cd/cmed.html
Play Date: 12/22/2007
CYBS (Cybersource--$17.53; +0.63; optionable): Software
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/c/cybs.html
EARNINGS: Mid-January
STATUS: Cup. Solid volume on the upside sessions the past two weeks, rebounding again to end last week as CYBS broke out from its 8 week base. Used the 50 day EMA (15.33) as support in the base, holding the mid-October breakout from a 9 month flat base. Strong money flow, great accumulation. CYBS is breaking to a 6 year high and we are ready to move in as it continues higher. Solid stock with excellent earnings growth rates.
Volume: 1.417M Avg Volume: 743.055K
BUY POINT: $17.76 Volume=1.1M Target=$21.35 Stop=$16.52
POSITION: CXQ DW - Apr. $17.50c (53 delta, 75 OI) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cd/cybs.html
Play Date: 12/22/2007
EDU (New Oriental Education & Tech--$83.26; +5.13; optionable): Chinese education and training services
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/e/edu.html
EARNINGS: Mid-January
STATUS: Ascending base. EDU ended the week with a bounce off the 50 day EMA (75.51). This is the second bounce off of this level during its 10 week base, making a higher low as it did. Can run like a deer when it gets rolling, and looking at positions as EDU continues the bounce off the 50 day.
Volume: 440.005K Avg Volume: 620.031K
BUY POINT: $83.88 Volume=700K Target=$99.95 Stop=$79.92
POSITION: EDU DQ - Apr. $85c (52 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cd/edu.html
Play Date: 12/22/2007
IMO (Imperial Oil Ltd.--$54.00; +1.74; optionable): Oil and gas refining, marketing.
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/i/imo.html
EARNINGS: 1-31-07
STATUS: Reverse head and shoulders. Strong volume Friday (though that is nothing uncommon Friday) as IMO broke higher from its 6 week pattern that formed at the bottom of a 7 week cup that is forming. Solid 3 to 1 accumulation in the base (3 up price weeks on rising volume to 1 down price weeks on rising volume), showing plenty of buying during this consolidation, setting the foundation for a nice run higher. Energy is on the move and IMO looks ready to move itself.
Volume: 449.4K Avg Volume: 290.834K
BUY POINT: $54.45 Volume=325K Target=$64.95 Stop=$52.39
POSITION: IMO EK - May $55c (48 delta) &/or Stock
http://www.investmenthouse.com/cd/imo.html
Play Date: 12/22/2007
STLD (Steel Dynamics--$57.10; +2.36; optionable): Steel and iron
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/s/stld.html
EARNINGS: Mid-January
STATUS: Ascending base. After a mid-week test of the 50 day EMA (50.91), STLD broke higher to end the week, clearing a short 8 week base that used that key support for the lows in the pattern. After that quick hard thump lower to the 50 day EMA, STLD found its legs. Looking to move in again as STLD continues this break higher.
Volume: 6.54M Avg Volume: 2.096M
BUY POINT: $57.45 Volume=2.4M Target=$65.95 Stop=$53.88
POSITION: RQL BK - Feb. $55c (63 delta) &/or Stock
