Good Morning Stock Fans!

NASDAQ RECAP:

The NASDAQ continued its week long low trading volume as it again traded in a very narrow range. And, for the first time in Y2K it went into its final hour of trading with less than 1 billion shares of trading. It did, however, manage to add on enough shares when the session had ended to eclipse 1 billion--ending at 1.2 billion shares as its final reading on Friday, June 9, 2000. The NASDAQ did find a new 30 day high, but it wasn't much of an increase over Thursday's 3890.00 as it traded in a range of only 3,893.00 - 3,825.00 which is 19 points-- to close up 49.28 at 3,874.84.

NASDAQ OUTLOOK: "3,982.00 And OVER = Bullish, UNDER 3,790.00 = Bearish!"

Stock Fans, the NASDAQ traded in a range last week of less than 200 points. The range was Y2k’s narrowest range. The NASDAQ seems to currently be in a "wait and see" mode. The Fed is the "wait" part and the "see" portion is this week’s upcoming economic reports that may lend more information to the fact that the economy is indeed slowing. Friday's Price Purchasers Index ( PPI ) was a mixed bag that showed a decrease in the PPI , but an increase in the Core PPI. It wasn't enough data to send the NASDAQ to a KEY NUMBER over (May 1, 2000) 3,982.00 a new 60 day high. The NASDAQ remains--with Friday's close--off of the NASDAQ 60 day high by 108.00 points. The reason that the 3982.00 marker and over is so crucial is that the NASDAQ unable to make a new 60 day high in May 2000 found itself trying to hold 3,000 instead of breaking 4,000 by May 24, 2000. If the NASDAQ can break 3982.00 it should see 4,000 with it being at that level--18 points off of 4,000. If it break that barrier, then the NASDAQ data over the last 90 months shows that the NASDAQ could find a new 200 day low. If the NASDAQ can't trade at least as high as 4,039.00 before it closes under 3729.00 (the latest rally) though impressive will be seen as nothing more than the Bears have already called it--a BEAR MARKET rally. If it ends under 4,039.00 it is still leaves the NASDAQ off its 52 week, and all time closing high of 5,048.00 by at least 20% giving the NASDAQ its technical definition as still one trading in a BEAR MARKET.

Considering all of the above information, the NASDAQ begins this week at a crossroads. The recent historical data says something has to give--over 3982.00 and 4,000 plus is so close the NASDAQ will be able to touch it. It should then have enough momentum to break over its current 90 day Double Top of 4,009.00. 60 days have passed between missing it by less than 20 and then almost finding sub-3,000. If the NASDAQ can't achieve that level,then it could test its last 30 day high of 3729.00 (on May 16, 2000) before that level was broken 2 Friday's ago at 3813.00. Trading begins in less than 2 hours at 9:30 am EST with 2 KEY NUMBERS--if it can close over 3,790.00 then things remain BULLISH. If it can't, then the NASDAQ may have just experienced the biggest BEAR MARKET rally in its history. One thing is for certain--this week we should find out the answer to that question as Wednesday CPI and Friday's housing report should send the NASDAQ out of those narrow trading ranges one way or the other.

MARKET POSITION INDICATOR:

Under NASDAQ 4,009.00 (sub 4,039.00 out of BEAR MARKET) remain BULLISH.

Under Friday's low of 3,825.00 begin to turn BEARISH, and if 3,790.00 is broken, and then the NASDAQ closes under it ...Then BEARISH.

SHORT- Being SHORT as the NASDAQ trades under 4,000 today might not be a bad idea as it has much more room to drop back and test the first of its 3 up trading gaps of 3,581.00 -3,729.00

LONG: Long could be dangerous if the NASDAQ loses Friday's low of 3,825.00 as many investors own stock from last week in an extremely tight range of 3,756 - 3,893.00. If the NASDAQ loses 3,790.00 and then 3,755.00 it could have several investors lighting the exit doors for PROFITS!

CASH: The best option maybe one of RAISING CASH and closing out LONG
positions at today's open where NASDAQ stocks could trade at the highest level of the day. After booking profits in LONG positions and looking for DIPS in the NASDAQ as profit taking occurs could be the shrewdes way of playing the NASDAQ today.

FINAL NASDAQ OUTLOOK:

It would appear the NASDAQ tests 3,729.00.00 before it breaks 4,009.00. The low on the NASDAQ seems to be with a rate hike or not in June 2,000--3550 or so according to all my compiled data. This is the number I like the NASDAQ to test ahead of the FED meeting this month if it can't trade and close over 4,039.00 this week!

Today's Play of The Day is: Ask Jeeves (NASDAQ:ASKJ)

ASKJ exploded late in the day Friday. It could make a further move higher today and see 35.00 if it can hold 24.00 today. This one moves fast, but in a NASDAQ that still hasn’t succumbed to profit takers this one may have its share of investors looking at its 52 week high and doing the math!

KEY INDICATORS: ASKJ
Buy Area: $24.1250-$24.75
Sell Stop: $21.75
TARGET: $32.00-$35.00
Time Frame: 2-4 days

SJ - STOCK TO WATCH: Micro Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR)

MSTR really exploded last week with new rumors of possible upcoming
financing. To date nothing has been announced by MSTR or anyone else for that matter. The stock more then tripled after being CRUSHED off the 200 plus level it had found earlier this year to go as low as under $20.00 last month. I agree MSTR was oversold but a move to more than $80.00 would be out of line. I can, however, see further gains today as investors realize more and more just where MSTR came from off its highs in March and April.

Today MSTR will begin trading over $60.00 plus. It may open over $65.00 as it is indicated. Looking at a 90 day trading chart on this one--April 4, 2000, sticks out as well as the last week of March 2,000. It would seem to indicate that 79.06 is the top for MSTR. It could see $80.00, but it is doubtful before the profit takers come in. Therefore, I will make a play on MSTR today LONG over $62.3750 and SHORT over $78.25!

KEY INDICATORS: MSTR (LONG)
Buy Area: $62.3750-$63.25
Sell Stop: $58.3750
TARGET: $76.1250-$77.00
Time Frame: Today!

KEY INDICATORS: MSTR (SHORT)
Sell Short: $79.25-$77.50
Buy Stop: $82.50
TARGET: $55.00
Time Frame: 3 days

* If MSTR LOSES $58.00 TODAY before it breaks $70.00, then I will look to SHORT it to $49.00 with $64.00 as a BUY STOP!
