AAPL 04/09 Cup hdl 187.62 -2.10 153.75 174.55 27M 50M 182.75
Current. Finished up for the week but Apple was a bit winded after its late April/early May run & it drifted up the 10 day EMA to 190 (November high). Still looking for a move to 200, and the iPhone G2 would do that and then we can book more gain.

AAPL 03/27 Cup 187.62 -2.10 143.93 159.95 27M 50M 182.75
Current.

AAPL 03/19 Cup 187.62 -2.10 132.43 149.95 27M 60M 182.75
Current.

ACI 05/03 Test BO 64.87 +1.47 61.60 73.95 3.9M 5.5M 62.88
Current. Working laterally in a tight range below 65, still looking good for a new strong break higher.

ACL 04/28 DB hdl 154.50 -0.70 161.51 179.95 242K 625K 155.94
Current. Another try at the 10 day EMA, another struggle. Giving it until the coming week to make the break or we close it.

AMT 04/19 DB hdl 45.58 -0.04 42.61 48.95 2.3M 6M 44.48
Current. Flat on Friday but a good week as AMT resumed the move up the 10 day EMA. No volume and a real resistance test at 46. If no volume there it will get pushed back and we will take some gains.

ANSS 05/08 Test BO 44.96 -0.69 44.58 52.95 560K 1M 43.78
Current. Great week and ended it well also with a tap at the 10 day EMA on the low and rebounding to cut the losses. Testing on lower volume and in great shape for next week.

APH 05/14 Test BO 47.40 +0.66 47.38 54.95 984K 1.8M 45.88
Buy Not Issued. Gapped higher but volume could not make it to average so we decided to hold off and see how it trades Monday.

ASIA 04/01 Rev HS 14.08 +0.31 12.27 15.50 581K 500K 13.18
Current. Volatile session to end the week, tapping at the 10 day EMA on the low and rebounding for a gain, but it was a good week with ASIA moving to a new 6 year high.

ATK 05/14 DB hdl 111.82 +0.59 113.31 126.95 233K 450K 110.31
Buy Not Hit. Still in the nice test over the 18 day EMA forming the handle. Just a matter of time until the breakout.

AXP 04/29 Rev HS 48.68 -1.18 49.22 54.45 9.6M 10M 49.88
Current. A good week for AXP . . . until Friday when it dumped back to the 18 day EMA. Lower trade so we see if it reloads and can make it through 50 and then the 200 day SMA up at 52.30.

BAM 05/07 Test 20 36.38 +0.32 35.15 39.95 1.2M 2M 34.69
Current. Good end to the week with the new breakout Thursday and adding some to the move Friday.

BBD 05/12 Test BO 23.40 +0.33 23.48 27.95 11M 10M 22.39
Buy Not Issued. Gapped higher showing a star doji so we decided to just wait and see what the new week brings as this symbol at this point in the pattern is not a good one to buy in on without some kind of confirmation.

BBD 04/30 Asc Bse 23.40 +0.33 23.60 28.21 11M 10M 22.88
Current.

BHI 05/15 Cup hdl 85.35 +2.88 84.45 96.85 4.5M 6.5M 82.22
Entered today. Gapped higher and kept on going, following up on the strong volume Thursday gain. Nice.

BIDU 05/03 Cup hdl 364.59 +0.32 374.71 424.95 2.9M 11M 361.22
Current. Bounced off an 18 day EMA test to start the week and then continued he handle, working laterally in a very tight range the rest of the week. It is set up and now it is time to show the upside break.

BIDU 04/12 Cup hdl 364.59 +0.32 289.55 339.00 2.9M 10M 366.75

BMRN 05/07 DB hdl 38.83 -0.13 39.11 46.95 1.6M 2.9M 37.92
Current. Spent the week testing the prior week's move, tapping the 10 day EMA on the Friday low and bouncing back to flat. Great set up for a continued move higher.

BRCM 04/30 Test BO 28.75 +1.17 26.43 31.95 18M 23M 27.44
Current. Great week for BRCM as it broke higher off the 18 day EMA test and ended the week with a high volume breakout over the 200 day SMA, closing at the high. Solid.

BZP 04/16 Test 50 23.82 +0.05 20.16 24.95 730K 1M 22.48
Current. Surged to start the week giving us a nice gain to take and then slid back to test near support at the 10 day EMA to end the week. Very solid.

CAT 04/24 Test BO 83.70 +0.20 82.57 94.95 5.2M 7.5M 79.77
Buy Not Issued. Still creeping along just over the 10 day EMA, looking for an opening to spring.

CAT 03/18 Rev HS 83.70 +0.20 79.83 89.95 5.2M 11M 83.21
Current.

CHT 04/22 Rev HS 25.75 +0.15 26.60 30.55 349K 3.5M 25.57
Current. Spent the last part of the week moving up off the 50 day EMA though not much volume. Nice lateral pattern that looks to yield to the upside, but sure is taking its time.

CPST 03/12 Test BO 3.48 +0.10 2.11 3.55 3.7M 5M 3.18
Current. Great week with an early surge giving us a 65% gain. Ended the week at 3.50 where it stalled Wednesday as well. Still very strong in its uptrend even if it tests back some here.

CRM 05/01 Test BO 68.70 -0.52 68.82 78.77 2M 2.4M 67.08
Current. Spent all week looking good but it could not make the break over the early May high at 70. Great volume Wednesday on the upside and looking for that to keep CRM driving higher up the 18 day EMA.

CRM 04/02 Cup hdl 68.70 -0.52 63.15 72.45 2M 2M 67.11
Current.

CSIQ 04/30 DB hdl 44.90 +1.30 28.85 33.95 3.7M 2M 42.77
Current. Quite a week as Canadian Solar gapped higher Tuesday and then continued to melt higher into Friday. Took some big gain and letting what we have left work higher though it looks tired here at 45 with four tries at that level during the week.

CSX 03/27 Test BO 65.54 -0.11 56.62 62.95 4.2M 7.5M 62.89
Current. Still moving higher in its trend up the 10 day EMA. Very strong trend even, as noted Thursday, volume is low.

CSX 03/17 DB hdl 65.54 -0.11 53.85 61.45 4.2M 7.5M 62.89
Current.

CX 05/07 Test 20 30.78 +1.21 29.40 35.35 6.7M 7M 28.78
Current. Great jump on great volume Friday as CX really put our Thursday buy in good shape. Materials are coming back to life after long bases.

CY 04/15 DB hdl 30.57 +0.35 28.04 34.98 4.4M 8.5M 29.39
Current. Man did we have to wait for this one to move, but the volume came in last week and CY cleared its mid-April peak. Very nice and just going to let it move higher.

CYBS 05/05 Test BO 19.21 +1.41 18.75 22.55 2.9M 1.4M 17.92
Entered today. Explosive. The only question was when to get in after it gapped higher. Gave us a dip and showed it was going to recover so we moved in.

DNR 05/15 Asc Tri 34.87 +1.10 34.55 41.48 2.4M 3.2M 32.55
Buy Not Issued. Gapped higher on so-so volume. There was other energy plays that were stronger so we bought those. Will see if DNR can get a little more power.

DO 05/15 DB hdl 140.42 +5.12 140.15 159.95 3M 2.2M 136.88
Entered today. Gapped higher on another day of big trade. Closed at the April peak but plenty of power to carry through.

DRYS 04/26 DB hdl 110.74 +4.24 86.45 104.95 6.2M 6M 107.68
Current. Gapped higher once more, showing a hanging man doji Friday on the strongest volume of the week. Huge run and it has defied these dojis on this run so we let it run until it reverses.

DSX 05/12 Cup hdl 39.00 +2.40 34.62 42.95 3.7M 2.1M 37.38
Target Hit. Gapped higher again and rallied from there. After 5 straight gains we took some solid 12.3% stock, 54% option gain. Still strong but after a great week a nice sum in the bank is a good thing.

EDU 05/14 Cup hdl 80.08 +2.41 79.70 91.45 591K 650K 77.38
Entered today. Continued its move on rising, average trade after that strong Wednesday move. Moved right on in after that Thursday pause and EDU has a nice run up to the old highs in store for us.

EGLE 04/17 DB hdl 35.69 +1.15 28.42 33.95 1.2M 750K 33.58
Current. Continued cruising with a strong Monday move, a test midweek, and then a gap higher Friday on a resumption in above average volume. Just letting the eagle continue flying as it cleared the prior high from October. Still watching to see how it reacts to this level to start the week, however.

EQIX 05/03 Cup hdl 89.11 -0.88 90.32 109.95 427K 1.9M 88.32
Buy Not Issued. Tried to make the price move last week but no volume and it couldn't pull it off.

EXM 05/12 DB hdl 57.72 +4.18 51.33 74.95 3.6M 1.5M 55.68
Current. Surging again, gapping higher and running on big volume Friday after a strong run to that point. Very strong though there is some resistance at 60 and 64 from early fall 2007 peaks.

GNA 05/05 Cup hdl 16.70 -0.04 16.73 20.75 1.3M 1.2M 16.04
Current. Continued higher on the week, coming off an 18 day EMA test. Stumbled around a lot but in the end it trended higher up the 10 day EMA.

GNK 05/10 Test BO 84.00 +1.92 77.85 92.95 966K 1M 81.91
Target Hit. Gapped higher, continuing a strong week, but stalled immediately so we banked part of the 49% option gain. Still very strong in its trend and letting the rest of the positions run for us up the 10 day EMA.

GNK 04/21 Rev HS 84.00 +1.92 68.36 79.95 966K 1M 81.91
Current.

GOOG 05/10 Cup hdl 580.07 -0.92 586.27 695.00 4.3M 10M 568.72
Current. Spent the week, as it has each week in May, testing the 10 day EMA. Tightening range, low volume, looks good.

HGT 05/05 Asc Bse 31.98 +0.59 30.48 34.95 226K 345K 30.54
Current. Tested back on the week after a strong prior week, then surged back up off the 10 day EMA on rising volume Friday.

IBM 04/26 FlyPlat 127.82 -0.64 126.38 139.95 6.4M 9M 126.38
Current.

IBM 03/05 DB hdl 127.82 -0.64 117.55 133.95 6.4M 12M 126.38
Target Hit. Great week for IBM as big blue ran higher all week but stalled some Friday. We banked some of the 47% option gain on this position as it did. A breakout over 125 on the week gave us a new buy and IBM is very strong, leading several sectors.

ICO 05/01 Test 18 10.11 -0.03 8.51 10.65 2.6M 3M 9.89
Target Hit. Great week for ICEO Surging Tuesday and Thursday, then gapping higher Friday and stalling. We decided to bank part of the 18.8% stock and 66% option gain. Still in a strong uptrend so letting . . . uptrend.

ITU 05/08 Test BO 28.65 +0.25 28.38 34.00 5M 7.5M 27.05
Buy Not Issued. Gapped higher to end the week, coming off the 18 day EMA. It could go no higher after the upside gap so we decided to wait and see how it responds Monday.

ITU 04/26 DB hdl 28.65 +0.25 27.96 32.95 5M 9M 28.21
Current.

JEC 05/13 PreAnn 96.45 +1.23 95.04 108.45 956K 1.8M 94.48
Current. Continued higher Friday on below average volume, but that followed a strong break higher on Tuesday. Good week for JEC as it made the breakout.

JRJC 04/30 Dbl btm 26.15 +4.11 21.05 26.38 5.2M 1.8M 24.55
Target Hit. Gapped higher after moving laterally all week, surging on solid volume. Took part of the 24% stock, 44% option gain as it typically doesn't get much better than an 18% gain in one session.

KSU 05/10 Test BO 47.00 -0.63 47.95 55.88 957K 1.2M 46.11
Current. Friday took some of the luster off the week as KSU fell back to close at the 10 day EMA. Still holding a gain on the week and still in the trend above the 10 day EMA, so no real complaints with the positions.

KSU 03/29 Test BO 47.00 -0.63 40.15 46.95 957K 1.4M 45.91
Current. Started the week great, surging off the 10 day EMA. Then it spent the rest of the week testing, holding at the 10 day EMA on the Friday close. Still looks nice but sure would have liked to see the gains hold through Friday.

MCHP 05/14 Cup hdl 38.13 +0.25 38.31 44.38 2.4M 4.7M 36.32
Buy Not Hit. Solid bounce Thursday toward the breakout and edged higher Friday, but did not make the break. Still solid for the breakout.

MEA 04/23 Test BO 16.09 +0.29 14.28 17.75 933K 455K 14.91
Current. Spent most of the week testing laterally then gapped higher Friday and ran to 16.75. Unfortunately it could not hold most of the move. May come back to test some but still in a solid trend after the very strong breakout move.

MICC 05/12 DB hdl 119.15 -1.08 120.42 143.95 532K 1.3M 115.55
Buy Not Issued. Could not get the volume late in the week to push the breakout attempt. Tapping at the 10 day EMA to end the week so we will see if MICC can reload for another break higher.

MPWR 04/28 Cup hdl 25.05 -0.12 22.72 26.88 412K 685K 24.04
Current. Strong start to the week then spent the last half stalled, but refusing to give up the gains. Like a stingy stock with it comes to gains. Still a strong uptrend in place.

MSCC 04/29 Cup hdl 26.85 -0.06 25.63 29.95 817K 1.8M 25.88
Current. Started the week with a couple good moves, tested midweek at the 10 day EMA, then moved back up. That works for us for now. Well positioned.

MTL 04/17 Test BO 168.99 +11.58 153.53 180.95 2.2M 1.4M 165.21
Current.

MTL 04/09 Rev HS 168.99 +11.58 144.35 164.95 2.2M 1.2M 165.21
Target Hit. Roared to life Friday after making a higher low at the 10 day EMA. Strong volume, strong price move. Took part of the 16.7% stock, 42% option gain.

NBR 03/11 DB hdl 41.13 +1.06 32.80 37.95 7.1M 8M 39.33
Current. Great week for NBR as it tested the 10 day EMA early on and then kept moving higher, picking up strength as it finished the week with some strong volume. Nice trend higher up the 18 day EMA.

NSC 05/06 Test BO 64.31 -0.18 63.40 72.75 3.3M 3.6M 62.89
Current. Surged off the 10 day EMA to start the week, then moved laterally to end it, holding the gains and waiting for the 10 day EMA to catch up with it.

NTES 05/08 Test BO 24.96 +0.36 23.55 29.31 2.5M 1.5M 23.77
Current. Good week for NTES as it broke higher on strong volume off the 10 day EMA and held the gains, adding some to them, to end the week.

NUE 03/19 Test 18 82.07 +0.63 72.16 81.95 3.9M 8M 79.71
Current. Bounced off the 10 day EMA to start the week and then melted higher on low volume to end it. Very nice.

NUVA 04/23 Test 20 40.68 +0.16 40.17 46.25 241K 600K 39.78
Current. Good start to the week as it moved off the 18 day EMA test, clearing the April highs. It stalled but is making a nice test of the 10 day EMA and set up to continue higher next week.

NVDA 05/07 DB hdl 24.41 +0.63 23.35 28.65 27M 21M 23.31
Current. Great week for this chip stock, riding the fortunes of the games makers (NVDA makes the graphics chips). Don't care what drives it; great break above the early May lateral move.

OSTK 05/14 Test 20 24.81 +3.01 23.78 29.75 668K 365K 23.32
Entered today. Strong volume as OSTK continued the breakout after a Monday surge and midweek test. Strong after being so weak for so long on that short-selling lawsuit.

OTEX 04/05 PreAnn 37.81 +0.61 35.31 41.95 623K 1M 36.92
Current. Up and down on the week, nothing unusual there for OTEX, but it did close with a gain and is in good shape to make a new breakout.

PKI 05/14 Cup hdl 27.95 -0.31 28.48 32.95 774K 1.2M 27.08
Buy Not Hit. After the strong Wednesday move, PKI took a couple of days off on low volume, and that is a good set up for a continued break higher.

PX 04/16 Cup hdl 95.04 -0.24 92.35 103.75 1.9M 3M 93.31
Current. Another stock with a good surge to start the week but then stalling to end it. For PX it ran into the late April high and faded. A higher low here at the 10 day EMA, however, will give it a good position to make a new breakout.

QQQQ 05/06 Test 20 50.00 +0.03 49.21 52.60 147M 140M 48.04
Buy Not Issued. Stalled Friday after a decent Thursday move. If it tests to start next week wi could have a good entry point.

RIMM 04/09 Cup hdl 140.36 -0.34 118.75 144.95 14M 35M 136.88
Current. Big start to the week on the bold 'Bold' announcement, then it couldn't advance from there, working laterally at 140. Still super strong.

RIMM 03/21 DB hdl 140.36 -0.34 111.25 126.95 14M 32M 136.88
Current.

RIMM 02/09 Dbl btm 140.36 -0.34 92.30 105.95 14M 32M 136.88
Current.

SCHN 04/15 FlyPlat 98.19 +1.74 85.21 99.75 341K 850K 94.28
Current. Good week for this strong as steel stock, rallying up the 10 day EMA just as it has done for the past 7 weeks.

SIM 05/13 Cup hdl 14.39 +0.29 13.67 16.48 236K 250K 13.97
Current. Great week for SIM as it surged off the 18 day EMA and smashed through the April peak. Very strong all the way to the close on Friday.

SNDA 05/10 DB hdl 36.95 -0.64 37.74 44.95 849K 1.3M 35.77
Current. Great surge early in the week then testing back some to end things, tapping the 10 day EMA on the low and rebounding to cut the losses. Still solid.

SNDK 04/09 Trnd Rv 32.44 -0.66 28.59 34.98 13M 10M 31.65
Current. Great week for the disk, jumping off the 10 day EMA on strong volume. Took a breather Friday but did not diminish the nice gain on the week.

SOHU 04/01 DB hdl 83.54 -0.34 50.31 59.95 1.5M 1.8M 81.32
Current. Another strong week for SOHU as it blasted higher Monday and continued the move to end the week.

SOL 05/03 Test 18 26.04 -0.17 17.28 23.85 5.8M 1.2M 24.69
Current. Quite a week for ReneSola, galloping over 7 points and landing us a nice gain.

SPWR 04/08 Cup hdl 93.50 +1.02 90.80 128.88 1.7M 5.6M 89.77
Current. Very good recovery for SPWR last week, gapping through the 200 day SMA on Wednesday. It tested the move Thursday and Friday, holding the gains on low volume. Good recovery and now we see if SPWR can test and then continue the move.

STLD 05/15 Test 50 37.92 +1.55 37.88 44.95 6M 5.5M 36.21
Entered today. Gapped higher on volume and kept moving, holding the gains to the close. Liked to see it hold the gains and we moved in.

SVNT 05/10 Rev HS 22.69 -1.46 25.02 30.65 1.9M 2M 23.27
Buy Not Issued. Flopped lower on volume. Dropping.

TEX 04/28 Rev HS 73.97 +1.15 74.91 89.95 1.7M 3M 71.32
Current. Spent all week working laterally over the 18 day EMA, starting to break higher on Friday.

TTEK 05/06 Test BO 25.13 -0.27 24.86 29.65 619K 900K 23.77
Current. Great week for TTEK as it surged off the 10 day EMA, showing strong volume as move moved past the early May peak.

ULTI 05/08 Test BO 34.79 -0.44 35.72 42.95 207K 325K 33.94
Buy Not Hit. Still waiting for the break higher, as ULTI tested the 18 day EMA on the low and rebounded.

UTHR 05/03 Rev HS 92.59 +1.51 92.33 105.95 606K 850K 89.88
Current. Good move to start the week, coming off the 10 day EMA on strong volume, but could not keep it going to Friday, though it tested the 18 day EMA on that session and rebounded for a gain. Still looks good but needs to make the break.

V 05/13 Test 18 82.37 +0.12 84.08 99.75 8.5M 25M 79.75
Current. Tried to make the break back upside early in the week but it could not continue though it did work laterally in a tight range to end the week and we are looking for a new break higher in the week ahead.

VIV 05/05 Test BO 7.10 +0.10 7.08 8.95 1.8M 5.5M 6.77
Entered today. Gapped higher Friday and we moved in early based on the strong Wednesday volume. Traded fell off the table and VIV could not advance further. It did not sell either, however, and the Wednesday move was a solid one to get the next move in the breakout going.

VMI 05/03 Test BO 112.29 +0.54 106.01 123.95 164K 572K 108.44
Current. An upside week for VMI as it started strong and despite a Wednesday bump in the road, finished higher with a solid move up the 10 day EMA.

VRSN 05/10 DB hdl 40.26 -0.55 38.61 47.95 6.1M 4.5M 39.69
Current. Very strong breakout and run on the week, taking a pause Friday on lower trade. Very strong.

WFT 05/03 PreAnn 88.60 +2.50 83.42 99.95 4.4M 6M 85.91
Current. Moved laterally all week and then exploded higher Friday with the energy move.

XIDE 05/12 Test 50 14.52 -0.34 14.28 17.24 490K 1.2M 14.11
Current. Broke higher Thursday then tested some Friday on low volume, tapping at the 10 day EMA on the low and bouncing modestly. Good start, modest test, now it needs to continue the move this week.

XRAY 05/12 DB hdl 42.01 +0.44 41.48 47.95 1M 1.6M 40.22
Buy Not Issued. Monday was on stronger volume but then it fell off the table as XRAY continued higher the rest of the week. Wanted to see stronger trade.

YUM 04/23 Rev HS 40.83 -0.51 41.27 47.65 1.9M 4.5M 40.22
Current. Moved up off the 18 day EMA on the week, met the April high, then faded modestly to close it out. Important week ahead for YUM. Liked that the volume was better on the upside move, but it was not blowout. If it cannot make the move, we move on.
