Daily calls Oct. 17, Tues, 2006

Another day during which bulls just kept marching on and bears probably got a bit closer to the point to breaking down. Looks like the market overall has confidence in the upcoming flood of quarterly earning report, and the actions will come tomorrow.

AAPL, AEOS, AKAM, BIDU, CEPH, CHRW, COH, COST, CTRP, CVS,DVN, OS, SONS,

1. AKS: Speculative S3 on top, entry zone 15.5-16, stop just above 16, IT=13.
