More "Conservative" Earnings Plays for April 17 - 28: I've been asked about short term plays 2-5 days as well as daytrades. The following companies (more will be forthcoming) will provide good 2-5 day plays. It is not necessary to wait for earnings day to make the play. Wait for optimum chart patterns LAND, THRX and DHR are closest to a play. TGIC,DHR................reports April 17 SYB, UVSGA..............reports April 22 GX,LAND,MDP.............reports April 23 THRX ...................reports April 24 MODT....................reports April 28 1> MDP - MEREDITH CORP COM .PPE 2> SYB - SYBRON INTL CORP WI COM .MED 3> MODT - MODTECH INC COM .MOB 4> TGIC - TRIAD GUARANTY INC COM .IPC 5> THRX - THERAGENICS CORP COM .MLR 6> UVSGA - UNITED VIDEO SATELLITE CL A .BPE 7> LAND - LANDAIR SERVICES INC COM .TRU 8> GX - GENCOR INDUSTRIES INC COM .MCM 9> DHR - DANAHER CORP COM .BHH LAND,THRX,DHR look like strong buys at this level GX overbought, wait for a pullback MODT,UVSGA approaching oversold should be watched TGIC: chart shows MACD negative, volume MFI negative, stochastic overbought this should be watched and could provide a nice play. MDP: chart deteriorating a bit but should recover easily before it's report date.
