WaveStrength Trading Tactics for November 28, 2006
The "Forgotten" Exchange
By Bryan Bottarelli
I was asked by the Taipan Financial News Network to prepare today's “Chart of the Day.” In case you missed today's missive, I'll republish it here in tonight's WaveStrength Market Report. Enjoy!

The “Forgotten” Exchange
We have a raging bull market in publicly-traded exchanges.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME:NYSE) trades for $545.05 and has gained 1,000% since its January 2003 IPO. The NYMEX (NMX:NYSE) just had its IPO and shares doubled in one day! Without question, the publicly-traded exchanges have exploded to the upside, but here's a dirty little secret…
One publicly-traded exchange is not gaining the notability of its peers, and it's the Nasdaq Stock Market (NDAQ:NASDAQ). Up 200% over a five-year time frame, NDAQ has been quietly trading at new 52-week highs and looking to go even higher.
Just yesterday, in fact, NDAQ reported earnings that beat consensus estimates by a full 6 cents per share, reporting 22 cents versus the expectation of 16 cents. Based on that number, NDAQ raised its guidance for the full year of 2006, which is always something Wall Street loves to hear. Based on this strong upside chart, you may consider adding some shares of NDAQ to your speculative stock portfolio. It also makes NDAQ today's chart of the day.
Last week I used the strength in NDAQ to play January 40 Calls (NQD AH) in my elite new service called BottarelliResearch, and my members made 94.29% in two trading days!
