JOHN DEFTERIOS, CNN ANCHOR: Let's check in with Sasha Salama. She has got a preview of what we can expect this morning from the tech sector, which rallied to another record close on Friday, the Nasdaq 100. Good morning, Sasha.</s>SASHA SALAMA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, John. Happy Monday to you.</s>DEFTERIOS: Thank you.</s>SALAMA: We are expecting the earnings parade to continue here at the Nasdaq with some of the big names reporting this week. Among them, we have got Amgen coming out with results tomorrow; AMGN at 25 cents expected there. BMC software also tomorrow; 42 cents expected for BMCS. eBay is expected to report a profit of two cents a share tomorrow. Also, Qualcomm, 24 cents; RealNetworks, RNWK expected to report five cents. Later in the week, on Wednesday, we've got 3Com reporting, JDS Uniphase, as well as Starbucks. And on Thursday, Priceline.com and Ericcson, so another blockbuster week on the earnings front. Of course, we are going to be keeping a close eye as well on the biotech sector, which was one of the reasons that the market was seeing another record Friday, on record volume. We have had incredible volume here: 1.9 billion shares changing hands. We'll see if that can continue this week. And as well, as we head into next week, of course, the FOMC meeting on February 1 and 2. Analysts expecting the focus to shift slightly away from earnings and toward interest rates. John, Nasdaq 100 futures, right now, are up 22; that's a pretty healthy advance. If it holds, we'll see some nice gains at the open of trading. Back to you.</s>DEFTERIOS: We've gotten conditioned to the nice gains. Thanks a lot, Sasha. Sasha Salama is down at the Nasdaq marketsite this morning.
