Good Morning Stock Fans!

NASDAQ NUMBERS: July 13, 2000
Open: 4128.81
High: 4193.24
Low: 4111.16
Close: 4174.86

NASDAQ RECAP: July 13, 2000

The NASDAQ added on yesterday right from the get go. The question many had was. Could YHOO impressive numbers follow through and carry over the another day of increases in the index. The answer was a resounding YES! The NASDAQ opened over 4100.00 and never gave up the number all day as it held opened at 4128.00 and then had a little profit taking as it fell back just slightly to 4111.00. However there's where more buyers came in and bought into the Techs as they rallied to go as high as 4193.24 up nearly 100 points. The Bio Techs didn't participate as they succumbed to profit taking as they often do in an environment that is less worried about rising interest rates. The volume was also quite impressive as it also was over the 1.7 billion mark.

NASDAQ OUTLOOK TODAY:

Stock Fans, with earning this past week from some KEY NASDAQ Stocks being very positive as well as MOT hitting its number and yesterday's employment numbers coming weaker then expected. The NASDAQ it would seem to has just one more hurdle to clear this week. Indeed it's a big one the June Price Purchasers Index (PPI) It will be released in just under 30 mins and its expected to show a small increase over May's but to come in continuing to show the Fed has done its job and allowed the NASDAQ and the rest of the US Stock Market a soft landing.

True, many of the BEARS feel the NASDAQ has gone to far again to fast. However it has also been nearly 1,000 points higher then it currently sites at 4174.86. What is also very positive is the volume has once again returned? The flip side is many investors as well as traders are now looking for an excuse to sell off the big profits they have seen over the last 3 days since the NASDAQ has firmly busted through what's was major resistance 4077.92.

Today its all up to the PPI that simple. I look for it to be tame. I guess the logic I use is the PPI is ahead of the CPI, and the CPI to the extreme high side in April was completely unexpected. With the CPI coming on Tuesday it would seem to me to be very odd to have this number today crush the market. Many key economic indicators have already shown for more then 2 months now the economy is slowing. However for the most part the big tech names have reported strong numbers thus far. If its earnings that increase stock prices then it seems to this trader atleast for now. That everything seems to be in order.

With that said. I look for 4200.00 to e taken out today and the NASDAQ to find over the next 2 trading days ahead of the CPI a high of 4250.00 I do see it as taking today's number and adding on maybe 75.00 more points. Then I see the index seeing some well deserved profit taking. I am hopeful the NASDAQ doesn't drop back more then to 4111.00 yesterday's low and holds 4100.00 as getting back under it once again sets up an index that comes very close to the KEY NUMBER now 4077.92. If that's lost then 3820.00 is closer then 4300.00 and the NASDAQ may decide to test its current 10 day low.

Again the PPI will decide it do we gap up to 4250.00 and near 4300.00 or do we drop back and test 4078.92. I think either way 4000.00 holds till the CPI upcoming this Tuesday. Remember 4052.00 the July 4th high was followed by a drop of over 200.00 points (down 232.00) only to come back and then go to 4193.00 (141 points) higher and establish a new high. That kind of action shows investors are more then willing to again invest into this market.

NASDAQ KEY INDICATORS TODAY:
4200.00 A launching pad to atleast 4381.00
4077.92 April 14, high that was taken out on Tuesday must now hold.
4462.00 The NASDAQ low on March 21, 2000 ahead of FED's March 22, 2000 .25 rate increase.
4111.00 yesterday's low and the wall to hold 4100.00
4029.00 The NASDAQ current 3 day low and psychological 4000.00 hold

This stock has been one even I have forgotten about for a while. It is best known for Paul Allens investing in it over 2 years ago. The stock is in a major uptrend as it broke its 200 day moving average yesterday. It still however remains very oversold. This stock is currently created a formation that could cause it to break out and go as high as perhaps 68.00 even 70.00 Yesterday's volume was very impressive as it added on more volume. I am looking for EBAY's upgrade to help this one as it should move much higher over the next 2 - 3 days.
