GTAX some more: and something about MCRE, MMCN <<I would not necessarily buy today but it's interesting to observe what stocks in my own database are bucking the trend and file that in your mind>> MMCN... holders of this I'd consider taking profits on this one, has had a nice run. MCRE MetaCreations to Deliver New Tool for Web Advertising Headline Studio to Bring Powerful Broadcast-Quality Animation to Web Banners CARPINTERIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 1, 1999-- MetaCreations Corporation (Nasdaq: MCRE - news) announced today dynamic new software for Web design professionals who want to create animated, broadcast-quality Web advertising banners. This looks good and MCRE up in a down market GTAX's earnings out tomorrow confirmed.. not sure if before the open or after the close. This has potential for a short term/intermediate term hold. technicals for GTAX: One of my favorite chart patterns, The trend is strong but yet the stochastics are way oversold indicating chance of more upside.. Volume indicators are especially bullish Their on-line presence is a good thfor them but there profits are seasonal. The stock has taken off recently and they are anticipating by next quarter they will show the profit from a recent acquisition on on line tax firm.. Even though next quarter will be the profitable one it's enough that a good report going forward might catapult this stock even now. I don't think its necessary to hold it through earnings but when they do report and if they have any further news in the pipeline, there stock can enjoy a nice steady climb to 20 by their next quarter report.

How earnings plays that were "called" are faring: PPDI+7/16, (wrote special article with chart on that one) FBN up strongly 2nd day in a row up 7/8 today, CLYS strong and up 11/16, NSPK +18% in new days, MISI +2 at its high now +1, MELI +3/4 up 1 3/4 at its intraday high, USF + 2 1/2 in two days, CNET +15 at day's high up 2 now, MENT trying hard and positive, FRNT + 3/8 new high, ECILF, CTAL, TKLC did not hold up today but were good on anticipation up until last day. And we did not have that many earnings plays this week. ART..alternate earnings play reports. Chart patterns were not with keeping with the stringent criteria of an earnings play but now that the earnings came out ART has more potential upside. This should teach us that no matter how bad the market climate, the earnings plays if they report well, will indeed buck the trend. The chart was very oversold and in a down trend. Today earnings came out and of course ART (ACNielsen Corp) bucked the trend. Could be some nice upside here since the good news comes on the heels of a really beaten down stock with a pretty bad chart and 28% price retreat for January. ACNielsen Earnings Rise More Than 50% In '98 Company Finishes Year With 33% EPS Growth in Fourth Quarter STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 2, 1999--ACNielsen Corporation (NYSE:ART - news) delivered another year of strong profit growth in 1998, with operating income, net income and earnings per share each increasing by more than 50%.
