GLOBEX PRICES AS OF 09/07/98 09:28 AM TRADE DATE: 09/08/98 CONTRACT LAST NET CHGE CONTRACT LAST NET CHGE S&P 500 SEP98 995.50 +1950 EURO $ SEP98 94.442 -1.7 E-MINI SEP98 995.75 +1975 DEC98 94.665 +3 DEC98 1002.25B +1650 MAR99 94.86 +5.5 NSDQ100 SEP98 1231.90 +2715 JUN99 94.875 +6 GSCI OCT98 146.00P ---- SEP99 94.87 +6.5 DEC99 94.72 +7 Looks like a substantial up-move on Tuesday, if the futures are any indication. That's great for long-term positions (I own some), but I always find it easier to day-trade a market that is not going straight in one direction. That is, in a strong up-market, INTC and CSCO likely will have gap-up openings. Say, INTC (which closed at 78ish) opens at 81. Now what do you do? A lot of the day's gain has already been squeezed out of the stock before a trade is possible. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to play this kind of market? Gary Korn
