(NASDAQ:LCOS) reports earnings on 11/16/99 I expect it to run on speculation of good numbers. Not to mention that volume on this one has been building in a positive way. If history is any indicator (NASDAQ:LCOS) can is always a take over target and can run right up into another split. (NASDAQ:LCOS) has not disappointed ever on numbers that I can recall. The RISK is low here the REWARD is high. With that in mind and the preceding all looks good for our shares and the (NASDAQ:LCOS) dog to move up value from here.

#2 BONUS PLAY: AMAZON.com (NASDAQ:AMZN)
Amazon.com. (NASDAQ:AMZN) If you ever like a stock as a buy because of it forming Chinese candles in its chart formation. This type of formation usually means high prices are ahead and more volume is coming to make that happen (All in all in short a bullish formation) (NASDAQ:AMZN) has made great improvements and remains a premiere Internet site. I expect them to have a blowout holiday season. Many analyst love this stock as they and many investors will remember Christmas past when (NASDAQ:AMZN) losing money was not on anyone's mind. Instead it was how high can it go today. Look for that to return to the chats again soon. I want to get in early on a stock that just has no quit in it when it gets going.
