Good Morning Stock Fans!

NASDAQ RECAP:
Last: 3853.50 +4.95 (+0.13%)
High: 3936.46
Low: 3849.77
Open: 3915.00

200 Day MA: 3904.00

NASDAQ OUTLOOK TODAY: By SJ

Stock Fans, The NASDAQ broke 3904.00 its 200 day moving average early in the day. However it was very disturbing not to hold 3904.00 as the index went as high yesterday as 3936.00. The only good thing about yesterday was the NASDAQ filled in its gap up from 3848.00 - 3915 (= 33 points) before the day ended and now looks to have support at 3848.00. The 2 hidden key numbers might however now be 3938.00 this level held yesterday and if NASDAQ loses 3848.00 today 3838.00 is more important. It loses that figure I short many NASDAQ stock till 3767.00 is seen. On the other hand if it breaks 3895.00 today then it could see 3936.00 and if it gets by that 3982.00 could come.

Dell will report today following the close. It already was downgraded. If it comes in over number and revs are solid like DELL surprised last time the NASDAQ could trade a lot different in after hours today. DELL is indeed key then the PPI is released in the AM tomorrow. If the index can hold 3838.00 today as I think it will it could be setting up to break into 4000.00 area. The index needs CSCO to hold 66.00 and make 70.00 to renew its confidence. It a do or die day as DELL could save the NASDAQ and then it awaits the PPI in the AM.


NASDAQ KEY INDICATORS TODAY:
Resistance= 3936.00 (Yesterday's and 10 day high)
Support = 3848.00 (double bottom, consecutive days- 8/08/00 high,8/09/00 low )

10 day high: 3936.00
10 day low: 3521.00
30 day high: 4289.00
30 day low: 3521.00 (4289-3521 range = 768.00)

In July of 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of OnDisplay, Inc., a leading provider of B2B infrastructure software applications.

SJ's Outlook: VIGN

VIGN, came off a bottom last week on huge volume, after it had acquired On Display. It ran all the way to 50.00. Then dropped back and the beginning of the drop began on increased volume. However yesterday the stock fell back on less volume showing it may very well be bottomed out. It also has created almost a triple bottom just under 36.00 at 35.93750, and 35.8750. It should make that area as its support. Its trading up slightly in pre market as it adds on about 1.50 at present. I like it to 36.00 area hold and then make its way back up. It looks solid here to move back into the mid 40's as it may have rose to much on momentum traders, but now on the same basis perhaps dropped to much. It looks to have a very good chance to find a happy medium in the mid 40's. If that is the case this stock could be good for a 8-9 point move over next 5-7 days

SJ's Outlook: ELON

ELON, came on late yesterday, and even though it was in a down market managed to on no news that I could find hold on to a solid one day gain. The stock traded at 55.00 less then 30 days ago, and looks to have bottomed. Its chart action had it breaking through an open gap down in its trading range. It could now fill in that gap down back up and make a move back to 47.50- 48.00. This play looks to have solid support and if it can add on more volume today make a nice 3-4 point gainer in a 2-10 day swing trade situation

Stock Fans, I like the stock at this price, but going to daytrade it for now. The hourly and weekly charts are oversold. The weekly is building a nice base at this level to explode out when the Naz gets up and goes. Commerce sales growth has for each of the last four quarters grown by 999% or better. They are not profitable as of yet. They have a strong RS of 98 and are being accumulated at this level. Playing the hourly chart!

Stock Fans, this is a great company with great earnings. But every runner needs a rest every now and then. This one needs a time out! I will not short at the open. The hourly is oversold and the daily looks like it has life left in the run. So I plan to cover in the low $70's and go long.

SEBL is a fantastic company and is a great stock. But at this point, from a technical standpoint, SEBL looks due for a pullback. I think the Naz will get small pop on the open and may even trade range bound for a part of the day. 3850 is important technically and psychologically for traders. I would like to see SEBL at 168 - 169 for a short entry or to buy puts at this level. I am looking for SEBL to retrace back to 153. If it breaks that, it could test it's 30 day low of 132, but I would take a 17 point profit it that presents itself. Cover this put play if Naz closes above 3936 today.

SEBL August 155 PUTS SGW TK - look for a buy at 2.5
