EPS kick off..

Tomorrow it's kick off time with the first reports coming to the forefront to give this wishy- washy market a direction..maybe!.  We couldn't think of a better time as many of the movers and shakers we've covered over the past few months are still in the 'hub' and waiting for the next flight plan.  Well...this can be quite excruciating waiting for the next move after being accustomed to very nice gains, so the best thing is to get some new fresh plays on the table!.  You just can't wait or expect on the ZOLL's, ATNI's to kick it up with the same feverish tempo we are accustomed to ...the easy money has been made, the easy play we are after at DJIM is over with so many of these names and it is time for the next round.   Tomorrow is the kick off!.   We hope it doesn't include a Romo Cowboy bobble move!.   Is this what all of us have been trying to push back, the inevitable fact that corporate profits will be not be as strong.   Maybe, but we are not going to worry about it as we still expect there to be plenty of nice surprises in small cap land to jump on.   What we are trying to do and will continue (especially in a 'quiet period), as in the first 4 days of trading in '07 is look for potential opportunities to capture a short term move if need be to cure the boring action.  Profits are Profits..pretty or not!    Maybe these 1 or 2 day moves won't get us the DJIM benchmark of finding a 25% move, but we will gladly settle for a 5-10-15% easy play in a day or two.   The same DJIM principles apply, stick a name we throw on watch and see if receives a little love!.   We are not getting into scalping or the very speculative cheap issues, but ones that have tracks of past moves that can be replicated.   We think we know what the fellow trader likes.   An example is BRLC, which we covered a bit in late '06, many of its past moves all stem from what their darling Murray analyst says...He loves to give nice price targets and did it again Friday, the stock always reacts positively and beyond what is normal for such wisdom of increasing a price target.   Understanding the psyche of the trader lets you in the door, if you think with a little street smarts..you can get in the door first.   Anyways..for those with other gigs, this is our responsibility not yours to find these plays or think like the other players.  The first and probably hardest think to do is find a stock, a stock with some features you know will get a trade.   NWK was one that had what many like.  First, it quietly pre-announced a very good Q revenue based and upped the years growth to 17-20% from 10%.   Well, we know what we would do if this was a EPS report, we'd jump on it if it included a similar EPS growth prospect.   We also know these don't last a day, so we thought a second day follow through might happen and it did very nicely on what looks like a volume high day.   Everybody likes a stock under $10, this was the other factor in thinking this had more space to run.  These stocks are not what we look for in a long term DJIM relationship, it's simply a date and one you got lucky on! 

If that is not your game and it really isn't ours, there are a some recent mentions on the Journal that acted well today with a few making NCH's today to look at again...

GRC, a strong EPS co' talked about last night put in a nice day adding 4.5%.

AMK, 3mln float with nice EPS closed up almost 7% and a NCH.  A perfect example of getting a nice price the last few days if you were following it since our mention.

MTRX got some CNBC spin this morning and seems to have survived the oil massacre in one piece. This was risky getting in at earning with all that was going on, but it stayed in its range since and now just needs a nice close over $17 to maybe continue on. The huge institutional interest in this name make you play on their time.. a little patience is probably needed here.  It would be nice to have something other than ALY, BTJ to kick around.

MFW, we took a position in this holding co' that recently spent some pocket change, 1.7bln for an acquisition and it took off. Incredibly, this looks like it might not be finished as it broke out today to new highs.

A few names to do some DD on for tomorrow..ANGN, a stock we first picked up at $4 reported prelim numbers that look pretty good. OSIR got some FDA news AH and is sitting just off highs, this one can move if this is not priced in.

VOL,VOLT INFO SCI at $51, IPGP, IPGP Photonics Corp. at $25, NWK, Network Equipment Technolgies Inc, at $6.80

What has DJIM been up to so far in 2007?.  Same as 2006, we are rolling along!.  Here are some of the plays recently enjoyed by members, but it is not all!.  Of course, many new plays happening are for our members eyes only.  Our FORUM is kicking with participation from other traders giving heads up to potential moves intraday...Our ALERTS/Updates are cranking, our nightly CHART analysis updates on closely followed DJIM stocks are giving our readers another way to look at a potential trade, entry and/or exit for the next day and beyond.

DJIM ALERTS, VOL- ''....Trading a little VOL here'....' was part of an alert 3 pack inc. AAPL to DJIM members at $51. STOCK RUNS to 64 by 3rd day!

Nightly Journal   VOL-"This  is a volatile play but when it gets momo it can give you a helluva a ride".  January 9th....."Again, have you forgotten to take some profit today?   Strong move this one exhibited always pauses quicker than you can blink", January 10th after 2 days of run...VOL, this one probably overwhelmed the most optimistic traders given its 3 day action.   Again, we are not saying today is the end of this run-ups but it does feel a little tired at this point ...and walk away with another 3-4pts today on the full lot you played.  This is what we did reducing our exposure and now are in a wait and see mode with a very slim position, January 11th after day 3.  DAY 4, the drop from $64 to 53's. !!

IPGP-   January 9, 2007 at 01:29PM  $25 in DJIM alerts,  recent ipo, accumulating some for sunnier days . Lasers, triple play broadband angle following OPTM today idea...even if is not the majority of business" ..........FORUM section..."IPGP has held ground at IPO day prices and this 'triple play' broadband hype is creeping into some names. IPGP might get some of that attention. rather accumulate some before"..before a breakout!.    STOCK breakout and runs over 10% from 24.90's  to 27.96 the next day. A 3 pt move in a day and half.

Forum, Cramer liked it at IPO time....IPG Photonics (IPGP:Nasdaq), pull the trigger. Buy your first tranche. This is a laser company that could work here because it is industrial with growth, and that's awfully hard to find. I was thinking that this stock could open at $24 and then trade down from here, but I don't know how much it can go down. I'd bet this stock will get a lot of focus as a replacement for a Parker Hannifin or an Eaton or even an Illinois Took Works, because people want growth badly and they want it in the factory.   We like this stock at DJIM and the growth story it represents.  An undiscovered stock so far that got some attention last week on the breakout.

NWK- Monday, January 8, 2007 at 09:46AM in DJIM alerts

Put this on your watch for a potential trade, raised revenue guidance for this Q and year Friday. Its a tech with about 70%instit. but has a nice chart.  6.80's     Journal     NWK was one that had what many like.  First, it quietly pre-announced a very good Q revenue based and upped the years growth to 17-20% from 10%.   Well, we know what we would do if this was a EPS report, we'd jump on it if it included a similar EPS growth prospect.   We also know these don't last a day, so we thought a second day follow through might happen and it did very nicely on what looks like a volume high day.   Everybody likes a stock under $10, this was the other factor in thinking this had more space to run.  These stocks are not what we look for in a long term DJIM relationship, it's simply a date and one you got lucky on! 

NVX climbed  to $7.50's as a short term trade idea, those that have held beyond, $7.80's has been in the cards and another 10%+ trade.

Big Day!

In our opinion, today is one of the biggest days if not the biggest day for us so far in 2007.    It was almost near perfect except for a couple of stocks but overall effect is very positive.    Index seemed to be going much more wild than most of the stocks on our watchlist but we think it's understandable given the cross currents of a lot of news out there.   Of course, what we care the most at the end are how some of the stocks in our portfolio are doing today.  We will proudly take this day considering there are many a guru and many a forums complaining about the market and the little opportunities for a good trade... A few things for tonight...

HRBN, big volume but a slight disappointing close.   Does that mean this play is completely over?   Far from it!  We think the volume today squarely put this one in the "in play" category.   So why did it not go up with this big volume you ask?   Simple, in terms of percentage, some early birds that supposed to have bought the "Naz Listing Leak" early may be cashing out and maybe some of you after an alert run from just over $10 to over $13 overnight.   We are going to be adding some on pull backs.   Keep in mind, this thing still trades on BB exchange and the market maker there may not be most friendly.   Hopefully when it gets onto the Naz Global Market, some institutions would step in and give it some orderly support. 

CCF,  boy things can turn quickly on this one.   The only disappointing thing is that this one has to shaken out on a day where most of the other DJIM stocks were having a very good day.    Nothing has changed on this one and the battle is close to the 9 ema.   Next couple of days will be the key to see which way it wants to lean.   At this point, we wouldn't be adding as the sell off volume seems a little more excessive and we'd give it a couple of days to show us which way WE ought to be leaning.  The earning did not change overnight, remember that!.  Don't forget how far this one has come in a short period of time and take these moves in stride.  Recently, we said 'she's a bouncin' and it went from 29 to 33's, so be patient.  There is plenty out there!

USAP, perhaps today is the day this stock is showing us that it should be the #1 holder in our portfolio.   One thing is for sure, this stock is definitely getting the kind of exposure CCF lacks.    Even though the trading can be just as volatile, but at least the support is there to push it back up.  We like this one and would add lightly on break outs and aggressively on pull backs.    By the way, when we say adding on a pullback does not necessarily mean we'd be adding on pull backs that have excessive volume that takes out meaningful moving averages, like CCF did today!.  Hopefully, the HMIN move Friday was fresh on your minds as you read the forum blurb on USAP this morning.

TRCR, it felt like it was just a matter of time.  That thought was just echoing behind our heads as we were just talking about it a couple of days ago.   Does today qualify as a breakout?  Hell yeah!  Did we add some on the breakout?  Absolutely.    We'll see how high the momentum takes this stock to. The volume was about 75K when we alerted to a watch for the $6.75/6.80, a 10minute volume chart shows the love it started to receive at those prices as we were hoping for.

MEND CHDX both of these broke out today but both didn't close near the high so we'll group them together.   Remember, CHDX is the volatile beast, so be careful with it.  MEND received a price tgt increase( see forum from premkt)

VTRU VE NWK HMIN ABM MFW ENR RESP ,  we have to say all these behaved quite well given the wild range we had today with the index.  This is a night we have to say the charts speak louder than anything we can say, so we will keeep it short.  There is a collage up of the big day players up in charts.

If you are spread out in a few of these names, hopefully you spread out your profit taking.  As much as we added here and there, we took some off as well in different names.
