Good Morning Stock Fans!

Breaking News: CPI unchanged:

NASDAQ OUTLOOK TODAY: "All Eyes Now on THE FED!"

The NASDAQ on the first day of May went as high as 3,982.00. It closed yesterday at 3607.00. The NASDAQ'S 30 day low, and its 200 day low still sits at 3,227.00. If we ask the question is it closer to its high or it low? Well, as the market has done so many times the answer is neither! 3,982.00 - 3,607.00 = 375.00 3,607.00- 375.00 = 3,232.00. The NASDAQ is about = to its high and to its low. What is even more interesting is today's CPI report showed no change? So it was benign in nature. However no change from April 14, 2000, big increase of an expected .05 and a .07 increase was shocker. It caused the NASDAQ to drop from 3,615.00 to as low as 3,227.00 the low that day and the 200 day low on the NASDAQ. The CPI having no change today doesn't that mean that things are like they were on April 14, 2000? If that is the case then the NASDAQ would have to retrace as it did on April 14, 2000, the day of the April CPI.

What really struck me as strange. Is the NASDAQ since April 14, 2000, has gone nowhere. 3615.00 the high on April 14, 2000, and the close and high yesterday of 3,607.00 are so close it doesn't even make sense to debate they are not exactly the same?

SJ's Prediction :

After a tense day yesterday on the NASDAQ a range of 162.00 high to low on the lowest volume of the year! - and a rocket close-! I went back to the drawing board so to speak and looked over ton of data. What I found was the NASDAQ has traded in much wider ranges on much less volume 2 previous times in April , and May 2,000. Both days that I looked at in comparison showed that the NASDAQ was heavily shorted and the wide ranges on low volume set up large pockets of higher prices not supported by volume in other words BUYERS! The low volume and tight ranges set up a change in direction as both days I looked at the NASDAQ went on the next 2 days to see deep sell offs!

Yesterday's action was insane for a realist like myself who on BIG VOLUME is as bullish as there is when the buyers line up send those prices flying. However yesterday couldn't be farther from the truth. The range on the NASDAQ and its stock was to put it plainly CRAZY! To see a JDSU bottom out yesterday on 3 mill shares then see it a stock on the NASDAQ that normally takes 22 mill shares to move it 7.00 moved yesterday all higher 9 plus on 9 million shares! Let's put it this way. JDSU doesn't move 48 points on 48 million!

What I look for with the NASDAQ in a shorted state can only be one thing. The FED! It would seem now and CNBC's Mark Hans as well as the "Briefcase Indicator" are already saying .25 increase, and then the FED says it will not back down and will keep increasing rates to ward off inflation.

The way I see it the NASDAQ has 2 problems rallying off its current close of 3607.00 to much higher then 75.00 more points today tops! Momentum money as well as Shorted stock can't be in front of long term money and send stocks higher. Number 2 The NASDAQ Market Makers who unloaded shares into yesterday's close for more yesterday would have to get those shares back for less. The only way that happens is for the NASDAQ shorted bubble to burst sending the NASDAQ faked moves higher yesterday back to earth washing out the momentum investors and setting up for the big volume bottom we look for. In short the NASDAQ looks very much like if it does go higher today ahead of the FED then the volume will not be anything like the volume it will get sending it lower. A .25 basis increase seems to be what would set up a test of the lows as the market will realize very quickly that more rate hikes are to come.

Stock Fans, Flextronics is a stock we have played before. Flextronics was upgraded to strong buy on 5/8. Now we know that the broker took a position and then issued the upgrade. I like the stock for these reasons. One and foremost it is oversold. Stochastics and MACD look to be northbound (that's good). Volume over the last couple days has increased. Earnings, growth and sales show solid green increases. This stock has held very well considering the sell off. Short interest has decreased by 74%. Regardless of the Fed and CPI, I am looking and playing oversold stocks with the timing, volume and growth indicators in line!

STOCKS ON OUR SCREENS:

JDSU- it is 100 plus points ahead of NASDAQ. It loos to me like the range is 66% down to 33% up meaning the next 30 mill shares traded on JDSU should set up a 2.06 increase from 90.06 to a 12.54 point drop off 90.06. JDSU seems to be a great short here. I have said this before but it has to give back the rediculous move it made on low volume yesterday faster then it took it!

YHOO- 3982.00 YHOO 136.00 Here 389 points off 3892 YHOO 133.00 It still says to me YHOO is going get rocked much lower then 120.6250 yesterday's low!

EBAY- High costs to keep it brand name up is today's news. The chart says EBAY before it sees 133.00 sees under 100.00.

LCOS- Wrong on this one TRRA looks like it will buy it I will lick my wounds on the short i lost on Thanks Faver you dolt!

QCOM - Way ahead of NASDAQ like most stock are. I look for it to drop fast as the momentum money bails out.

Have a great day!
