Good Morning Stock Fans!

"WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?"

With yesterday's sell off on the NASDAQ it looks as if we may test 3,850 an area we last found intra day on the NASDAQ about 30 days ago. Some analysts are looking for the NASDAQ to fall to 3,800 before it finds support. With still others looking for 3,681 a 1/3 retracement of the October's gains.

Stock Fans, one thing is certain for today the selling will create buying ranges as stocks sell off, we should have bottom fishers coming back into the market. Yes, we should be aware of interest rate worries in February. It looks very much like we will get a .25 increase. We will look to find low risk value plays today, as well as the usual short term plays that run on momentum caused by news, or upcoming news. We are looking for 3,850 as a place for this market to bounce today. About 70 more points down today is where we predict a bounce will occur.

This stock has been talked about of late by a great many fund mangers as both a value play and a growth play. It lost some ground yesterday dropping $3.00 on volume of just under 700,000 shares. The stock looks to have created its first area of support at $46.50, an area where it bounced yesterday. It looks as if in this market, and in light of our for mentioned anticipated drop on the NASDAQ to 3,850. The stock looks as if it is a good buy at $45.1250 today. It has good support at $44.75 and should hold that area today. It looks as if (NASDAQ:ABIZ) will have plenty of buyers at those levels as it will then be almost 10.00 off its all time high and ready to get half of that back in perhaps as soon as this week.

BONUS PLAY: TALK.COM (NASDAQ:TALK)

Talk.com is the industry leader in telecommunications that uniquely taps the reach and efficiency of the Internet to market its telecom services and to support its customers. Monthly phone costs are billed automatically via credit card, and billing records are available online in "real-time," allowing consumer and business users to closely monitor telecom charges. In August of this year, Talk.com was ranked as one of the highest in customer satisfaction by J.D. Power and Associates, the global leader in quality and satisfaction measurements. Talk.com broke new ground when it signed its marketing agreement with America Online (NYSE:AOL) and further established its leadership position through marketing partnerships with other prominent entities, including Prodigy, Wired Digital, Metris, E*Trade, DSI and Compuserve.

The reason for choosing this stock today as a BONUS PLAY, is quite simple. It looks to have found its low at current levels. Yesterday it fell almost 1.00 as it lost $17.00. The stock should drop to about 15.50 today as it had a break out on news at that area about 10 days ago. The stock should have an abundance of buyers right at that area today as it finds support. Based on yesterday's drop in share price and volume of over 1,200,000. The stock should make a low risk play at that level. It has tested the $15.50 area in the past and had buyers in volume, when it did. We will look to get in this one right after the sellers have exited today. We should get a nice move upward as buyers come back in this quality up and coming stock.

A STOCK THAT HELD UP WELL IN YESTERDAY'S NASDAQ SELLOFF!

The biggest reason why the tech heavy NASDAQ sold off yesterday was investors of all type from the big institutional investor to the small types that were responsible for helping the NASDAQ to all time highs (closing 1999 up more then 80%, easily a record) sold off their big gains yesterday because they will not be taxed on them in 2000. With that in mind the sell off yesterday was all and all healthy for the market. It just proves that what goes up comes down even faster as we dropped almost 230 points on the close. The NASDAQ markets 8th biggest percentage loss and biggest point loss of all time.

However, some stocks didn't have QCOM or CMGI or YHOO type gains for investors to take. Therefore they did loose some of their value but not nearly what some of the high flyers did.
Below is a list of what look to be value plays on today's NASDAQ. With sellers gone they look to hold at current prices. Then when the rest of the market's higher flyer more popular stock come back off the bottom. The 4 stocks listed below should move higher today.

AREA OF SUPPORT:

AITV $35.00
JWEB $35.00
ELCO $29.75
AOL $74.75
