1) MARKET SUMMARY
Quietly stepping out the back door to end the week.
– Stocks find no reason to rally, hold steady into an uncertain weekend.
– Producers’ prices soften as does the world economy.
– Michigan sentiment weakens, but fears were it would be worse.
– Indexes hold closing lows for week, trying to set up next test of resistance.

2) Stock Splits Playing stock splits can be very profitable, but it takes know-how. Our stock split service focuses on three main types of plays: 1) pre-announcement (where we forecast an upcoming split prior to the company making the announcement); 2) pre-split (these plays are made in the days leading up to the actual split day); and 3) post-split plays (plays made after the actual stock split where the stock is showing continued or renewed strength). We play pre-split plays as short-term plays. We get in when the technical indicators show us things look right, grab as much as we can, and get out, always being conscious of resistance and support. These stocks are highly volatile at this time, and can turn on you quickly. Don’t let good profits disappear. Watch for turns, especially when a stock trades in a wide range and finishes off its high. That is a sign these stocks often give you that they are running out of steam. We usually get out and ask questions later. We can always get back in. We like to play in the money calls, preferably two strike prices in the money as this usually gives us a greater delta (the percent an option will mover versus the stock’s movement). We prefer deltas of 75 or better. This means if the stock moves 1 point, the option should move three-fourths of that point. That means up or down. Remember, wait to see the stock start to move up. Don’t just blindly make a play and don’t try to guess tops and bottoms. We can look at indicators to give us a clue as to what will happen, but we need the stock to confirm it for us. Here’s a pre-split play to watch and our current analysis.http://www.investmenthouse.com/1stocksplits1.htm” target=”_top”>http://www.investmenthouse.com/images2/cnbc.gif” width=”39″ height=”31″ border=”0″ alt=”CNBC Interview”>

JOSB”>
JOSB (Joseph A. Banks–$31.31; -0.26; optionable): Apparel stores. Splits 5:4 on 8-19-04.
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/j/josb.html”>Company Profile
STATUS: Cup. JOSB is trying to form up to start the right side of a base that has been building for the past 21 weeks. Its split is this week, and it has not made any move into it. We are anticipating that it will try to start forming the right side of the base as it heads into the split. Thursday it showed some good volume as it tried the first move but faded back. It is showing it is ready; just needs to make the move.
Volume: 148.663K Avg Volume: 402.747K
BUY POINT: $32.45 Volume=468K Target=$38 Stop=$31.88
POSITION: QZS AF – Jan. $30c (64) &/or Stock.

3) Technical Playhttp://investmenthouse.com/quote/stkquote.php3?smbl=
JUPM”>
JUPM (Jupitermedia–$13.25; -0.30; optionable): Internet information.
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/j/jupm.html”>Company Profile
STATUS: Ascending base. JUPM is making a series of higher lows since April as it works on the finishing touches on its 18 week base. It has moved up to the July high, and is backing off slightly on low volume right at that level. It may ease back a bit more toward the 10 day EMA (12.72) before it is ready to go. Indeed, a higher low at that level and a rebound on stronger volume is exactly the kind of action that would indicate a breakout is ahead. Solid 5 to 3 accumulation in the base is setting up the breakout. Money flow is moving higher ahead of price, leading the way. Excellent relative strength.
Volume: 137.016K Avg Volume: 341.765K
BUY POINT: $13.92 Volume=513K Target=$16.98 Stop=$12.95
POSITION: EUU KV – Nov. $12.50c (65 delta) &/or Stock.
