NASDAQ RECAP:

Yesterday, June 7, 2000 he NASDAQ rallied ahead of the Microsoft ruling as it shook off a flat session and added on 82.99 Points as it closed the session at 3,839.00. The NASDAQ was lead by who else but MSFT and a variety of other tech stocks as it appeared that investors--although not fully convinced—believed that the MSFT ruling was already built in to the market. This lack of conviction could be explained by the low volume that the NASDAQ saw for the 4th straight day after trading almost 2 billion last Friday June 2, 2000.

NASDAQ OUTLOOK TODAY: "NASDAQ RALLY - USE CAUTION!"

The NASDAQ looks very much like it could RALLY today off the Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) ruling. The Techs are up in pre market as the NASDAQ futures have been as high as 52.00 today and as low as 24.65 (where they currently are. MSFT has traded as high as $73.00 today (2,300 share Instinet at 04:33 AM EST) and as low as current levels at $71.1250 (696,000 shares currently).

Jobless Claims were released today without much of an effect on the Bond Market or the Futures. The Jobless claims were up 30,000 but adjusted for seasonal purposes. The Markets will now wait for the PPI (Purchasers Price Index ) due out tomorrow June 9, 2000, at 08:30 EST.

Stock Fans! The move that the NASDAQ has enjoyed since May 24, 2000 when it traded at 3,042.00 (a 200 day low) has been a hind sight is 20/20 situation--one where its easy now to look back and say NASDAQ stocks especially the hammered Techs and Internets were "oversold." The NASDAQ move up to current 5, 10 and 30 day highs of 3884.00 reached this Tuesday, June 6, 2000 of this week is one that has seen the NASDAQ "Market Makers" (MM's) unload large quantities of stock that they had accumulated between May 1, 2000 (NASDAQ 3,982.00) and May 24, 2000 (NASDAQ 3,042.00). The amount of stock that was sold by these MM's has been quite a lot according to the RSI--with increased volumes for the days of May 24- June 2, 2000. The RSI is an indicator that shows traders whether or not stocks are oversold or overbought. That indicator currently is showing that stocks are overbought. The "Tight Range" and the fact that the NASDAQ has only been able to add on 94.00 points since the Friday, June 2, 2000 220 point explosion may illustrate that investors aren't exactly selling, but may be unwilling on current news in the market to take the index much higher. Something important to note is that many KEY NASDAQ stocks traded much less volume over the past few days, yet have still managed to increase their prices. Furthermore, the NASDAQ hit its current 30 day high on Tuesday, June 6, 2000 at 3,884.00 did cause a sell back off almost immediately that day, and a commensurate fall back over 100 off that mark to close at 3,756.00.

The NASDAQ is very hard to read currently. The supply of stock would appear to be low so that any kind of big buying into the NASDAQ at present could send it much higher. The CAUTION is the fact that as investors buy into the NASDAQ high prices the possibility of investors booking profits increases. When this happens, the investors that are busy buying in end up selling out into a market that may have no buyers. The only avenue out then is to sell to NASDAQ (MM's) who know full well that there is a lack of demand—resulting in prices dropping fast.

The fact of the matter is that the NASDAQ (MM's)sell stock for more and then "eventually" (that's the KEY word! "eventually!) get that stock back for less! Then, as we saw on May 24, 2000, when they have a lot of stock that they hold poised to sell, then the buyers come back in oversold conditions and buy it back for more.

Currently, I stress "Enjoy" the gains but use CAUTION! It may be too risky
in this NASDAQ to use SHORTS to look for a big NASDAQ drop! I will instead look to raise cash and buy back into the dips. The NASDAQ undoubtedly, as the past few sessions have shown is OVERBOUGHT! The question is when does "eventually" happen?

To answer this question we might want to just look at 3982.00 -- at this level that the NASDAQ was so close on May 1, 2000, it could TASTE! 4,000.00 -- It came within 18 of that magic level! However, it was at that point that the NASDAQ would drop all the way back and by May 24, 2000, less than 30 trading days level the magic had changed from 18 off magic 4,000 to 42 points off the dreaded 3,000. In less than one month a move towards 4,000 was met with a drop to almost lose 3,000!

The NASDAQ sets up shop today 144 points off 3,982.00. Looking at it from an opening aspect, it would seem that if NASDAQ at 3982.00 is the top, then a nice 144 point move up is coming. This could indeed happen. I just want to point out that as the index goes higher, then more investors will look to book profits. The NASDAQ is also at a level as I described early that can indeed see an increase quickly due to low supply as many investors refuse to sell stock. The NASDAQ looks great right now as we open to ride the wave higher! I am here to let all Stock Fans know that as it goes higher a major sell off is set up!

NASDAQ 3,790.00 IS THE KEY!

The KEY number today is 3,790.00. If the NASDAQ can hold it, then it looks great to be LONG. If it can’t hold it then raising CASH or LOW RISK, short term SHORTS would seem to be the order of business. The level for a high tide to watch today might be 3884.00. If we look at that number, it is the current 30 day high as well as the current week high (5 day high) for the NASDAQ. That number of 3,884.00 is 98.00 points off 3982.00. If the NASDAQ were going to set up a buffer, it would seem to be right there. I must point out that CAUTION should be used with LONGS today as nice profits are in One’s pocket at 3,884.00. If we also look at 3,982.00 - 3,221.00 the previous 30 day and 200 day lows, we see that 3,042.00 was 179 points lower than that. If we look at the NASDAQ closing number yesterday of 3,839.00 we see that the NASDAQ has gone about as high as it did off 3221.00—all the way to 3982 as it has currently from 3,042.00 - 3884.00. If you do the the math, then you’ll come up with these numbers!

3,982.00-3,221.00 = 761.00
3,884.00-3,042.00 = 842.00

The increase in the run up of (842.00-761.00= 81 ) So, in essence the NASDAQ has gone 81 points higher than it did off 3,221.00 in April to May 1, 2000, 3,982.00. I say one last time while watching the NASDAQ trade today-- remember as 4,000 looked to be so easy to grab on May 1, 2000,--it ended less than one month later at nearly sub 3,000.00! The NASDAQ would appear to be traded very much like it did then. I will enjoy the rally but look to RAISE CASH as the NASDAQ nears 3,900.00
