Good Morning Stock Fans!

Today's Play of The Day is: ORACLE (NASDAQ:ORCL) (SHORT)

Stock Fans, as great a company as (NASDAQ:ORCL) is it was trying to find its way to an all time high when the NASDAQ about one month ago was looking for All time highs of 5,100 plus! Since then the NASDAQ has fall back and currently sits just over 4,440. With the NASDAQ still over 600 off an all time high amazingly one of its bell weathers ORCL is again threating all time highs of 90.00 plus? Even though its CEO filed to sell several million shares, and with today's latest news of an increasing offering in ORCL stock (usually this drops a stock with more supply added) ORCL continues to be up in pre market today going as high as $88.00. ORCL volume of late has been under its 30 day average. The stock also has not been one to blow away earnings for 2 straight quarters over the last 2 year, something ORCL is going to have to do to support its incredibly high multiple in its share price to earnings. In short ORCL has risen way to fast off late after it had fallen back near $76.00 and less last Tuesday going all the way back up more then $12.00 points sense then. Stock Fans, for a stock like ORCL to move so fast on less the its 30 day avergae volume suggests means it could very well be setting up to get hammered lower soon. ORCL looks to be low risk shorting at the top as it could break 90.00 plus when the NASDAQ was 5,000 plus. With the NASDAQ 600 points plus lower the job ORCL has to break 90 seems nearly impossible! ORCL has to pull back recent history is tells us this should indeed be the case.

Stock Fans, watch what The Sheik (as he is affectionately referred to on Wall Street) is up to. He put together last weeks lunch money to buy 100 million of Xerox. Wow how much fun it would be to buy in those sizes. As the saying goes, follow the big money. The Sheik's track record, for you stock fans that don't hang in the same nightclubs, is pretty spectacular to say the least. Some of his last purchases were, Citigroup (C) at $4, Apple (AAPL)at $18, etc.

Sell Stop:$26.18

Stock Fans, playing the bounce. Kana is 64.5% off its 52 week high. Ouch, if you bought at the top and held. This stock came up on my "bottomed and bouncing report". It also moved up in accumulation ratings. Sales have been growing rapidly over at Kana. Buying in anticipation of the upcoming upgrades. This always happens after the broker sees a bottom, establishes a position, then "Upgrades" with rosy price targets forthcoming.
