THE PLAYS
Pre-Announcement:

http://biz.yahoo.com/p/b/bhi.html
EARNINGS: 7-22-08
STATUS: reverse head and shoulders. BHI broke higher in mid-May, clearing the neckline at 85 in its 8 month base. It has moved laterally in a 5 point range following the initial breakout move. It is making a higher low at the 10 day EMA (87.35), bumping at the breakout point from its short consolidation range. Looking for a bit more trade as it makes the break higher.

Play Date: 06/09/2008
VMI (Valmont Industries--$112.62; +0.47; optionable): Metal fabricaion
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/v/vmi.html
EARNINGS: 7-17-08
STATUS: Test 18 day EMA. VMI broke out from a 7 month double bottom base in mid-April. It tested in late April, holding support at the 18 day EMA (112.17). It jumped higher and rallied nicely up the 10 and 18 day EMA, making us a nice chunk of change on that run. It is now testing again the past two weeks, coming back again to the 18 day EMA on low, below average volume. That shows no sellers, just profit taking. Looking for VMI to bounce up off this second test of the breakout and give us a nice entry point to the next leg higher.
Volume: 264.565K Avg Volume: 351.458K
BUY POINT: $114.75 Volume=525K Target=$129.95 Stop=$110.91
POSITION: VMI IC - Sept. $115c (54 delta) &/or Stock

Downside:
Play Date: 06/09/2008
SDS (UltraShort S&P500 ETF--$59.36; -0.44; optionable)
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/s/sds.html
STATUS: Reverse head and shoulders. As SP500 forms a head and shoulders top below the 200 day SMA, its foil the SDS (moves inversely to SP500 at a 2:1 rate) has set up the equivalent upside pattern. Strong volume the past week. Looking to move in after this rebound move from the Friday selling dissipates and SDS turns back down.
Volume: 29.915M Avg Volume: 22.274M
BUY POINT: $59.84 Volume=30M Target=$64.95 Stop=$58.04
POSITION: SDS GG - July $59c (56 delta)
