The Play Of The Day

NASDAQ MARKET OUTLOOK TODAY:
Pressed for time this AM . I am just going to give you all something to think about. The NASDAQ as you all know did sell off yesterday. However it lacked one thing VOLUME in doing this. Today we should get massive volume resulting in a big drop. If you followed my lead you are currently short. Remember to consult your email today often as ALERT EMAILS will today eventually go to all members. Play of The Day PLUS member will get emails as the happen.
The NASDAQ range I look for is 3800 then a bounce above the 3924 area bring us back today is going be rocky as we may indeed test that crucial 3649 area today. I don't expect the NASDAQ to close their today but I also don't expect the NASDAQ to close over 4,000 either. One thing I hope you all have come to look at as a given as members of this site. VOLUME will tell us all If the NASDAQ trades over 2 billion shares today we will could and should test that v bottom. As I alluded to earlier I am currently SHORT the Key Index stock on the NASDAQ i will look to turn them over near the bottom. Yes, I looked like an idiot on Friday as the NASDAQ went up over 170 points. However I pointed out to you all that the NASDAQ lacked buyers in doing so and the NASDAQ had no buyers until under 4100 as the Market Technicians had shorted the NASDAQ higher as the limited supply in affect making stocks look as if they were going up. The one thing that sets up well for all that followed me is repeating what I say about SHORTS is if done right you can go the other way at the bottom and make money on the way back up as well.

Looking to buy on morning gap pullback.

Stock Fans, talk about getting a nail in your tire, wow. If you missed the run up on the B to B plays here is your chance to catch them on the way down. PPRO is technically weak. Every indicator says that this baby is going down.

Stock Fans, ditto on above. B to B soon to be like B to C (See EGGS or CDNW chart). Competition, low margins, and the probability of never becoming profitable are going to drive this baby back a long way. Commerce One has dropped in Accumulation ratings and sports a big D. As you know, in a sinking ship, when the rats leave, you know you have trouble! I expect this to be volatile and bloody. But, as with any short, there is more risk involved.

Stock fans, FedEx has one of those nice cup and handle formations. It sold off with the increase in fuel prices, but has since come back and formed a nice base. FedEx crossed its 10 day moving average on 2 times normal volume. Fed EX is 34% off of its 52 week high and has Institutional buying. This is a strong and safe bet for those who prefer to watch the volatile Nasdaq!
