NASDAQ OUTLOOK TODAY:

Stock Fans! Well CPI OK and look like 3936.00 here we come. 3830.00 is my new support based on yesterday and my hidden number of 3830.00 ahead of 3936 last Wednesday when the PPI drove the NASDAQ to 3936.00 today I see 3936.00 as the NASDAQ sets sale for a move back to where it should be. 3900 plus! 3982.00 is big resistance if the NASDAQ gets on its true MOJO LONG and STRONG unless the index loses 3830.00 today then short it but not thinking short today! PGA Championship Begins in the AM--- I am thinking like TIGER WOODS today LONG and STRONG!

Today's Play of The Day is: Efficient Networks (NASDAQ:EFNT)

Stock Fans, All I can say is CMTN, CLRN, AFCI! Why well I set tight sell stops on all 3 of those postions and all 3 were called more then once before they were seen as sweet cals for some nice profits. May favorite new saying that many of the vets in the trading room will hear me say often is: "*BUY ON FEAR (*massive selling as follow the leader leads to bail at any price) and **HOLD THROUGH IT!" (**Buy in the midst of other selling as the bottom is ussully near when fear sets in people don't think they just sell in haste. haste can kill ones $$'s!)

Stock Fans, its that simple EFNT was over 100.00 less then 30 trading days ago! Now its under 50.00 and 45.00 as of yesterday hitting 44.00 on huge volume of 2 x normal. OK well the 200 day low came on NASDAQ 3042.00 on 5/24/00 of 38.50 EFNT sits only 5.50 off that level. So today, I will go into EFTN with a sell stop firmly planted at half that remaining drop so 2.75 under 44.00. If it holds this EFNT is going be more then effient supplying some more than suffiient gains!

If it doesn't BUYAREA #2 better HOLD!!!

KEY INDICATORS: EFNT
Buy Area#1: 44.50
Sell Stop#1: 41.25
1- 3 DAY TARGET: 50.00
BUY AREA #2: 39.25
Sell Stop: #2: 37.50
1-3 DAY TARGET: 44.00

RUN THE OPTIONS: EFNT
Sell EFNT Sept 40 Put Options as 40.00 has to be near bottom!
Buy EFNT Sept 50 Call Options as 50.00 looks like min bounce.


BONUS PLAY #1 Portal Software (NASDAQ:PRSF)

PRSF, had increased volume yesterday as it traded more then 1.5 million shares way over its average of under 800k daily. The reason I select it as a bunus play today is it broke out late in the day and went to over 53.00 at its high 53.6250 before on big volume as I stated earlier it fell back to close at 51.31250. The range on the day was very tight as it traded from 51.3750 - 53.6250 on all that volume. It is near the bottom of its 10 day trading range of 45.13 - 63.12 = 17.99. It therefore has solid support at 45.12 for 10 days. However based on yesterday I see 50.00 as holding now nicely until it can find 63.12 again its 10 day high an area it also reached when the NASDAQ was actually lower then yesterday's high of 3888.00.

"BREAKING NEWS!"

Sell Stop: 49.00 even

Stock Fans, Celgene is in the news. They are on the edge of cancer discovery. They have a strong relative strength rating of 99. Both accumulation and timing ratings are an "A". The weekly chart and the 60 minute chart have both turned up and look to move. This is a relatively low volume play and chart watchers may not get excited with this one.

2 STOCKS 2 WATCH TODAY: Up Yesterday on Big Volume: "No News"

1. NAVI- Big Volume yesterday it has a 200 day high of 300 plus! If it can break 58.00 its 60 day high it could run wild!

2. REGN- Massive volume of over 1 million on this BIO TECH play that ussually averages less then 150k shares a day. It would seem reseach has shown that REGN had a huge postion bought yesterday after the close by an FM most likely. They bought in big for a reason I would think watching close for a follow thruogh of 3.00 plus yesterday!

NVDA has earnings coming on August 21st. Look for an entry at the 50 day MA or just above it as that should be solid support for an earnings run. It was up big yesterday on 135% of normal volume (a good sign). Let's hope for a slight pullback so we can enter this play. Let's use September calls so we don't have to worry about the exaggerated time value degradation this week of expirations.

Sept NVDA 75 Calls RVU IO - look for entry at NVDA 67.5 - 68.5
