Good Morning Stock Fans!

"NASDAQ SHOULD HOLD 3,681 TODAY"
The NASDAQ Market if it does indeed test 3,681 it will have given away 1/3 of its gains form October 25, 1999-December 31, 1999 if it hits that number. We are looking for the NASDAQ to hold support at that level. It makes a lot of sense to hold that level today. Most of this now 3 day drop from off its highs of 1999 has been on profit taking. With the profits now gone from the vast majority of these stocks. We should now see buyers come in. Sellers have now taken their profits. In short a great buying opportunity as we should see the NASDAQ hold 3,681 and then make its way back up to the 3,850 area of the next 5-10 trading days.

Today's Play of The Day is: Cobalt Group (NASDAQ:CBLT) SHORT-

What Goes up must come down!

Refer to yesterday's "Play of The Day!" For a description of Cobalt. It is posted on at the BigPlayStocks.com "Play of The Day!" web page.

NASDAQ:CBLT) has a gap of $10.50 to $21.3750 to fill in. The news from Wednesday evening was strong. It didn't look to be worth a gap of 12 plus points, however. The stock looks ready to take a fall today. Should drop perhaps as low as 17.50 an area it fell to late in after hours trading on Wednesday evening. We have placed the following KEY INDICATORS on this one as area we think are safe today.

Cobalt Group, Inc. (NASDAQNM:CBLT)
KEY INDICATORS:
Sell short: $22.50 to $24.00
Buy Stop: $24.885
TARGET: $15.25 to $19.50

BONUS PLAY: Covad Communications Group (NASDAQNM:COVD) LONG
Covad Communications Group (NASDAQ:COVD) is the leading national broadband services provider of high-speed Internet and network access utilizing Digital Subscriber Line(DSL) technology. It offers DSL services through Internet Service Providers, telecommunications carriers, enterprises, PC OEMs and ASPs to small and medium-sized businesses and home users. Covad services are currently available across the United States in 56 of the top Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and will be available in 100 MSAs by the end of 2000. At that time, Covad's network will reach more than 40 percent of all US homes and 45 percent of all US businesses.

Stock has stayed strong as NASDAQ has dropped for 3 consecutive days. It should have a nice bounce today once the NASDAQ recovers from 46 down. This stock should then make a nice recovery.

This was a previous POD in the 30's and it is one of my favorites to run big this year. Also, this has been up that past 2 days when the rest of the market has tanked. All indicators say time to swing with COVD!
