Good Morning Stock Fans!

FED RAISES.25%

Stock Fans, we were right in saying the FED would raise.25% on interest rates yesterday. We would like to say we really were ahead of the crowd on making the correct call. It seems almost everyone had it pegged to be.25%. The question that I am sure many of you are asking is now what? Well, with AMZN and EBAY posted solid number yesterday. We are again looking for the NASDAQ to open higher and perhaps add on more then 50 points. Then we look for profit takers to come in and push the average lower. The NASDAQ still looks unready to settle into a trading range. We will be looking today at 2 key indicators as to where the NASDAQ is going. The first is always foremost VOLUME. The second is what kind of money is coming in off the sidelines. Maria Bartaromia of CNBC often points out Trimtabs information of sideline money. It seems there is still a major surplus of money out there that perhaps was waiting for the FED to pull the trigger. Now, that the FED has done its job look for the NASDAQ to possibly trade sideways over the next few days, but still in a huge range of perhaps as large as 3,953 on the downside to as much as 4,189 on the upside. We will leave the NASDAQ at that today, and be sure to include a more to come ... as the index changes it seems by the second lately!

OH HENRY! AMERICA ONLINE BACK ONLINE FINALLY!

Stock Fans! We were beginning to lose our breath by reiterating over and over that Henry Blodgett the extremely influential Internet analyst at (NASDAQ:MER) said he really liked the AOL TWX deal. He did say however when AOL was trading at $68.00 a change that the deal could drop AOL to as low as $55.00. Henry went on to say he then saw AOL making its way back to 90.00-100.00 by late November 2000. Well, we are not analysts here at BigPlayStocks.com. However we followed Henry lead to the penny and went in to AOL in size both on the stock and the options at $55.00 last week. AOL tested $55.00 not once not even 2 times. How bought 3 times as it triple bottomed now sits at $55.00 for almost 30 days now. We came out and said we loved the AOL Jan 2001 $100.00 Option Leaps last week as well. Stock Fans! Remember this Henry said AOL will test 55.00 it did. Friends if he likes $90.00 to $100.00 by November 2000 then who are we to disagree. So far he's batting 1000%. We don't even need to ask our resident Pro Baseball Player John Jaha of the Oakland Athletics that Henry has a Sweet Swing!

Today's Play of The Day is: ETOYS INC (NasdaqNM:ETYS)

eToys, Inc. is a leading Web-based retailer focused exclusively on children's products, including toys, video games, software, videos and music. eToys' online store offers an extensive selection of competitively priced children's products, with over 9,500 SKUs representing more than 750 brands. eToys' Web site features detailed product information, helpful and useful shopping services and innovative merchandising through easy-to-use Web pages. The Company designed its online retail store to be the primary place for consumers to purchase children's products. A consumer shopping on the Web site can, in addition to ordering products, browse the different departments of the store, conduct targeted searches, view recommended products, visit the Gift Center, participate in promotions and check order status.

With both eBay (EBAY) and Amazon.com (AMZN) reporting outstanding bottom-line results, or it "seems", there is a general sense of "well-being" for the leading e-tailers in the medium-term. ETYS is in the same group as these other 'money losers', but now perhaps traders will start viewing these as possible 'money makers' in the near future. ETYS was once at a lofty $70 right before Thanksgiving 1999. We played this one very successfully at that time. ETYS has recently bottomed out at approximately $15 per share. The option activity is going crazy on this one. Check out the volume on the Feb 20 call yesterday. 922 contracts traded. This is a momentum play, not a long term hold for us. But it could rebound in a big way if traders begin to view these e-tailers in a favorable light.

LNTY- we liked this one at $23.00 on Friday. It started to break out yesterday. it may run more today. We still ike $40.00.
