Stock #10 Earnings Play 11/10 up 6.98% beat by 1 cent after the close. Again no need to have held through earnings, possibly will not gap up tomorrow and it should be watched in the morning. This stock was in a downward trend, but because of earnings it should improve tomorrow and possibly beyond. The best earnings plays are ones whose charts are dismal and the spark of a good earnings report might light a fire under it. SFP was good for multiple days but sold off right after earnings, only to come back once again. The less popular stocks like these you will learn to play the anticipation and most likely AFTER the report. In some cases anticipation is all you will get but that is usually worth at least 10%. VSH is another earnings play that quietly just keeps on moving up higher and higher without any ballyhoo.. from 23 1/4 to 28 5/16 without the volatility or high price associated with the IPO plays. The IPO plays are great (see GOTO, FFIV, and now #11 11/10) but you have to diversify or you'll be finding yourself up moving between the 'most up' list and 'most down' list daily. techstocks.com Stock # 10 EP 11/10 Announces Third Quarter Results Nov. 9, 1999--Stock #10 11/10 today announced results for the quarter and nine months ended October 5, 1999.
