Turn up the Base a little!

The Bulls did a nice job today of containing the damage from Friday. Small Caps were leading which contributed to the positve breadth on the Nasdaq 16:13 . Breadth on the NYSE was even better at 2 :1 positve. The large Caps in tech land are still feeling the pressure which is creating an overall feeling of gloom. However, under the surface their are signs that the market will launch another attempt to the upside before finally rolling over.

We have been increasing our long exposure today in order to play an expected bounce. We still believe that the Nasdaq may reach for 2300 in the next 7-10 days. We have added long exposure in the follwing names: SPWR, ADBE, ZGEN, AMD, CSCO, DIS, KLAC, QCOM, NDAQ.

In the last two days we have also initiated exposure in the following ETF'S : A large position in IWM and small positions in EWK, EWW, EWC, EWZ, ILF. We have also decided to play a little SMH from the long side for an overdue INTC bounce. We would have preferred to buy INTC directly but we are prohibited from buying it until the Wash Sale rule expires for us.

If You Held a Taser To Our Head:
TXN reported a relatively in line quater after the bell. Expectations were low going into the report which may bode well for the tech sector. The market only has to base for a little bit longer before the dip buyers start doing their THANG. Our stops are loose like Paris Hilton....oops that wasn't nice.

Hope you traded well
