Usually the earnings plays are longer term plays than just a few hours, but the earnings plays this week are more volatile than the ones for last week.. Add to that the fact that a number of them except HLTH which did great and ICGE as well, are not familiar fare. I do not want to give you a green light when except for PGTV, TFSM. TGNT of course CSCO the others were more unpredictable. Basically the buy signal was called clearly for CSCO, PGTV, HLTH and TGNT.. TFSM was up but not called and MAPS was good for a few days and DOX gapped up today... TZIX was nice and probably you can get something out of #1 11/11 but a clear green light to hold for 3 days is difficult when there are only about 1/2 dozen that didn't report. Tonight I'll have some new plays so maybe tomorrow if the nasdaq is down we can concentrate on the new earnings plays. Ironically its the watch list tech stocks and internet stocks that are on the second and third day of gains whereas short of the 4 I mentioned the earnings plays are not from a wide choice as the season is coming to a close. JBX, which I followed acted weirdly yesterday, gapped up 4 and then closed up but at the day's low.. CELG was good but not for everyone. What you should do is just concentrate on the few that are good even if its only 2 or three and leave the problem plays alone. Remember we are talking about the eanrings plays, the watch list was much clearer this week as the signals were strong and they held without triggering sell stops or near it... We have to go with the trend and we can't just pick and choose the number of days to hold. LGTO, PMCS, SOFN, AUDC (2 strong days), AOL for a few good weeks) CNQR, and quite a few plays were good for multiple days but you can't chase the stocks, they have to come to you. I know by now that CELG and DOX are probably safe bets to hold THROUGH earnings and LE was good from the get go up 8 points in 4 days.

<<Another earnings play triggers +24%.. #8 11/10 EP>><<SO what do you say about stock #12 the stock is up 19.44% up 7/32>> So Donna if you look carefully you will find and for 21% you don't need to hold it more than 1 day or even 4 hours. #12 11/10 WL Anyone biting? Day high 6 big blocks. You can put 20,000 shares of this one if you play it right. Also on #3 EP november 10 I don't particularly care for the volume. I'm sure you prefer a VSH or a ADIC but there are not that many left this month.. Stock Number 12 WL 11/10 trading at a whopping 1 11/32 a share intends to release its third quarter 1999 results on the morning of Thursday, November 11, 1999. In conjunction with this release, management of . will host a conference call, which will be simultaneously broadcast live over the Internet. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1999 Its cheaper than an option.

I agree with you about the difficulty of playing Watch List stocks. The good plays move up at the open and I am not about to chase. I have gotten burned to many times. I have experimented (with some success) buying those that have quality charts but whose price has not yet moved. In affect, trying to buy before the move. For example, review yesterday's daily chart for WL#1 and #11 11/10--both look promising. Today they are experiencing nominal price moves on better than average daily volume. Hence I took positions in both in "anticipation" of a move tommorrow or the next day. I have had a fair degree of success.
