FFTI - Anatomy of a low-priced "Earnings Play" FFTI was on the calendar last Friday 26 of March. It began to show volume and price increase (see chart) quickly _____________________________________________ marketgems.com FFTI.. from March 26. Note the increase in volume A strong rearnings reports (which I posted) followed on March 30. Stock has now climbed from 9 1/2 to 11.375. Looking at both the historical prices and chart you can see that 26th would have been a signal when the price closed at 100% of total daily range 26th ($10) for FFTI or secondary entry would have been with the morning gap on 30th. Here you could have gotten a point instead of the 2 points had you entered on 30th instead of 26th or the 29th. What happens now? On April 2, FFTI was upgraded to a "BUY" and should provide further gains especially since it has pulled back from the 11.375 week high. Remember earnings plays are more 'hit 'n run' plays and are target is the 5% profit on the trade. Holding through earnings, after earnings as an intermediate hold is the 'extra bonus' and you could make 25% to 50% more in the short/intermediate term phase of this stock or any other that beats the street. 4/2/99 4Front Tech FFTI FAC/Eqts Fst Albany upgrade Accumulate » Buy ______________________________________________ FFTI: open high low close volume 03/26/99 9.500 10.000 9.250 10.000 69,800 03/29/99 10.000 10.250 9.875 10.187 122,500 03/30/99 10.437 11.000 10.375 10.500 236,600 03/31/99 11.375 11.375 10.250 10.562 584,100 04/01/99 10.875 10.875 10.125 10.250 100,200 ''Yet again we are reporting a record fourth quarter and full year performance.
