The Play Of The Day
May 30, 2000
09:01 AM EST.
NASDAQ OUTLOOK TODAY: "The NASDAQ Appears To Be Heavily Shorted"
The NASDAQ Futures are up over 70.00 currently as it sets up for another GAP UP open and may find 3,265.00 before it even has time to settle in up from the 3205.00 triple top in the range it has found. The NASDAQ volume gets less and the NASDAQ range tightens. This is not a good omen for it to go much higher (Shorted Gap up, not true buyers in mass more then sellers) We know the NASDAQ has massive resistance at 3,390.00 and with it closing at just over 3,200.00 Friday on the lowest volume of the year the NASDAQ needs high volume now to find a firm ground. The high volume must come on the bottom setting up the NASDAQ to go lower.
I hate to rain on a NASDAQ bounce after a 3 day weekend, but for the NASDAQ to make a move like it has on the Futures (that should spill over to open) and send it higher to go lower. I like the NASDAQ to open just over 3265.00 and run out of gas about right there The NASDAQ needs all its index stocks to find new bottoms and with YHOO JDSU and INTC coming closer , but not yet the NASDAQ has very limited upside. ( more to come on this as the day unfolds PLUS MEMBERS, in the form of EMAIL ALERTS)
Today's Play of The Day is: Qualcom (NASDAQ:QCOM) (SHORT)
QCOM has had many problems of late being crushed off a 4 for 1 split area of $200.00 or so. With more shares 400% more came more shorts , and with the run up ahead of that split came "MANIC MARGIN" BUYING! - It makes no sense for some people to be asked to add thousands maybe in many cases 100's of thousands to their accounts to save their stock from getting called away. So they don't bother to send in money. Many it would seem ( due to QCOM big sell off ) don't even have the money to send in and save being taken away.
QCOM spiking up this AM ahead of the opening today, seems to lend more truth to r the fact that the NASDAQ is HEAVILY SHORTED and looks very much like it will find a fast bottom this week we hope! QCOM in that process should find a new low and probably lose 60.00 as MARGIN hurts it yet again!
KEY INDICATORS: QCOM (SHORT)
Sell Short Area: $67.3750-$68.43750 (Friday's High $70.00 )

(* I will short 300 shares about 1/3 my intended total postion of 1,000 shares of QCOM short $0.93750 off todays open. Then use the KEY INDICATORS area the first for the the rest of my postion. )

IF THE STOCK JOCK WERE LONG THE NASDAQ ON TODAY'S OPEN:
If I were I am not I remain SHORT off the 3362.00 Area we saw on Thursday of last week. However if I were I would sell my LONG positions at NASDAQ 3,265.00-3,290.00 today. I don't think the NASDAQ goes any higher then 3,321.00 today if it goes that high. I will SHORT more NASDAQ stock at under 3,300.00 today as the NASDAQ sets up to see 3242.00 again (and under) before 3,400.00 (Fridays Employment Report we await).
