Jenna: If ADRX pulls back a bit you might see 40 1/2-41. Looks good. (Lee)

Finally set up with wireless RIM 950 for trades, quotes, email. But no SI intraday updates, nor intraday charts. I still saw buy signal for #11 but entered at day high.

Earnings Plays Profits Surpass Momentum plays in the last 10 days...

Earnings plays outdid all the other plays in volume and price this last week. companies like PHTN, COHU, CTXS, KLAC, CREE, RFMD XLNX, MOT, INTC, COSI (on Stocks in the News page> IONA, AVX, MERQ.. In fact in Tuesday's Investor's Business Daily Section (Most active and "Where The Big Money's Flowing") we found a good deal of our earnings plays: KLAC up 18 1/4 and called out days before it hit this big, CREE, CTXS, COHU (3rd place), MTSN (4th place on the list) CTXS up 13 13/16, MOT (a buy all week) and INTC ( a 6 day hold) all appear on this list.

AMCC, GALT, TEVA, PRLX MTSN, BBOX,and XLNX hold their places on this list. MIPS a great multi-day gainer dropped only 5/8 and AMCC only gave back 1 3/8 after substanially higher gains.

CONCLUSION:

1) the technology sector, whether small, mid or large cap are still the leaders when the earnings are backing them up.

2) Swing and position trades (the biotech sector called early) are the most profitable well outdoing the average daytrade. By putting in stops and trailing you are relatively safe from losing too much of your profits as you take the stock home. Our foreign ADR TRAA did terrific and SNRS did in fact get FDA approval for their laser.

From the 13th January watch List:

Note how CTXS, KLAC, RFMD, NEWP popped nicely. MOT also looks good if a little pricey.

Watch List December 28 and a hit since then:

Looking for an "anticipatory earnings" pop. Too risky to hold through
earnings unless you want to chance an option call.

Watch List for January 10, 2000

Still bullish on the biotech's, especially NBIX, GLGC, ABSC, GENE, HYSQ Watch List will be on website early this morning, calendar will be marked with stocks that triggered buy signals for next weeks earnings report.

ADRX called on December 28, 1999

7> ADRX - ANDRX CORP .DRU
Price= 51.2 VL/30= 614.7 %Rnge= 85.0 Sto9V= 63.8
W14dV= 67.2 %Hi4 = 100.0 1-Dy = 115.8 50MA = 109.0 10MA = 118.0
picked it up a while back and for the first time in a long while its doing rather well.
Phase II Clinical Trials are Successful On Andrx Once-A-Day Diabetes

9> SSTI - SILICON STORAGE TECHN INC .ESE
Price= 33.6 VL/30= 177.8 %Rnge= 89.0 Sto9V= 16.2
W14dV= 44.8 %Hi4 = 72.7 1-Dy = 113.5 50MA = 103.7 10MA = 89.8

A frequent watch list pick and second time Earnings Play. This has already triggered a buy signal on Friday. SSTI had a Wilder and 50 day moving average breakout.. An opportunity perhaps to buy a great company on a dip. Oversold stochastic. Classic RSI breakout, 40 would be a 20 day moving average breakout.

10> ASWX - ACTIVE SOFTWARE INC .DSO
Price= 69.5 VL/30= 122.0 %Rnge= 100.0 Sto9V= 19.2
W14dV= N/A %Hi4 = 73.1 1-Dy = 94.5 50MA = 94.9 10MA = 81.0

Good recovery, fell through the floor of its trading channel for the first time EVER on to rebounded and bounce off its bottom channel.. Trading just below its 50 day MA, look for about 71 1/2 and bounce off the 50 day MA..( on daily chart) For daytraders, ASWX already closed above its 20 period MA and if it continues will be a continuation of short term uptrend.

11> PRLX - PARLEX CORP .ECC
Price= 24.0 VL/30= 60.4 %Rnge= 100.0 Sto9V= 36.0
W14dV= 52.8 %Hi4 = 88.8 1-Dy = 103.2 50MA = 115.3 10MA = 99.6

A really good stock that got oversold and is near a 20 day moving average breakout, also an earnings play. It has beat earnings estimates for the last four quarters. In the first quarter of fiscal 2000 ended Sept. 26, revenue was $20. million, up 32% from the prior year's same quarter. Net income jumped 400% to 28 cents a share from last year's $0.94 cents.

12> RATL - RATIONAL SOFTWARE CORP .DSO
Price= 46.1 VL/30= 127.4 %Rnge= 98.0 Sto9V= 23.1
W14dV= 47.0 %Hi4 = 88.6 1-Dy = 106.9 50MA = 98.0 10MA = 96.4

Probably one of my favorites for 2000. Oversold, and beneath its 20 day moving average. Friday it closed up strongly near the high of the day.
Exactly like SSTI, RATL fell beneath its trading range but recovered to close within but near the bottom. Remember we're talking a stock with very high revenue and earnings growth right after a correction and before earnings. Good formula for potential trade or longer term hold.


Watch List for January 11, 1999
ACVC broke out fabulously on Monday as did COHU.

3> ELNT - ELANTEC SEMICONDUCTOR INC up to 32
Price= 28.5 VL/30= 45.8 %Rnge= 80.0 Sto9V= 33.3
W14dV= 49.8 %Hi4 = 86.3 1-Dy = 103.6 50MA = 102.4
21MA = 96.4
Always a winner.. this one should make another good report. Reports
Tuesday 1/18/00

7> GNET - GO2NET INC up 02
Price= 79.0 VL/30= 67.9 %Rnge= 86.0 Sto9V= 22.0
W14dV= 45.5 %Hi4 = 86.0 1-Dy = 108.9 50MA = 95.9
21MA = 91.8
excellent close today.. but on low volume volume should pick up because GNET is reporting on Tuesday and is expecting $0.07 from $0.00.
