OK OK I'll bother you with some of my off the wall stuff after the earnings plays. I'm looking for my damn chalk to write it on the blackboard 100 times before I go to bed tonight. Grammy

I'd expect SYMC and ITWO to break out in anticipation of or on earnings this week. Would have thought that SYMC would have been on your list. ITWO is exceptionally strong and Street expects it to be like MANU. HTCH is trading strongly, earnings report according to some post on this thread should be ugly. Well, I still like it.

Earnings Plays..in order to allow for some of my threaders to 'research' the plays and they have eagerly professed a desire to help, I will try to come up with at least a preliminary list of the plays from April 27-May1 by this Tuesday/Wednesday. Please understand since my own "earnings report" which is 30 pages long from First Call doesn't come out until Thursday, I'll be relying on other sources for the dates. Your commitment would be to please call the companies and confirm the dates. That way I will come up with the picks 10 days or so in advance. At this rate by next season, we'll have an 'earnings plays' strategy complete with in depth analysis that is unsurpassed in profitability and success. marketgems.com
