Hi SWAMI: Your question reminds me of an experience I'm having with STRX. The last time it appeared on Jenna's list, I was able to play it twice for nice gains prior to earnings. I could probably have done it again, but I was getting my feet wet on Jenna's style of trading. Today, I bought that little stock again....nice company, good fundamentals and TA, and it looks like I may be able to do it again. That is how it is with Jenna's plays. Her lists don't always mean that the stock is going to run first thing the next morning. You have to discipline yourself to get these things set up, with alerts, charts, and be ready to act. Or react. And often you can get a pop early on, then get back in and let it run up until earnings time. Also, Jenna's suggestion to keep a list of stocks that simply have worked out well as earnings plays in a separate watch list has proven helpful for me. If you keep the current watch list, and that one, trust me, you won't be bored. And I like to toss OEX plays in there on occasion for added spice. KEA is an example of doing it again. I bought at 35 1/4, got out on Monday. Rebought yesterday and back up again today. Its a strong y2k solution providor among other things. I'm a fairly new subscriber to Market Gems. I have been to some Telescan seminars and Market Gems has helped me to really see the importance of ERG, RSI, etc. in other words, it has made it practical for me. Your mileage, however, may vary. Mary Long STRX, ITWO, GSTRF, CMGI, AMZN, WDC, MXTR, YHOO all from Market Gems.

MMCN. yes I am tracking it very closely.. I missed its run up today because I was tracking my own trading, but that is just what I would do. These lower priced high flyers can *NOT* be depended on to perform for 3-4 weeks straight when their average gain is 5-8% a day.I've entered and exited JVLN already and 'just missed POWI' by 2 days but POWI CREE and AMCC have corrected could probably make for 2-3 good trades BEFORE earnings come out.. POWI has corrected and so has CREE.. Remember CEFT? that really did well after a sluggish few days. I feel any laggards will pick up steam 1 week before earnings. Obviously the smaller the company the less anticipation it will have (i.e. ZQK, MXTR) so you have to really trade the channel and trendlines and depend on their 'reaction' from the last few earnings report. Other more obscure companies like CTSH, are obviously more risky since their 'track record' is that that easily trackable.
