MONDAY:  .The week looks like it will get off to a nice start, probably being pushed by hopes for some short term Greece agreement, but big mergers and acquisition proposals may be contributing to early optimism

TUESDAY:   Yestrday, despite having given up a substantial portion of the day’s gain, it was still a nice day. Today, the morning looks as if it may preserve some of those gains, which would bring us even closer to setting more new records, having bypassed even a mini-correction

WEDNESDAY: .With GDP data being released this morning, the early futures, which are trading flatly, may find reason to wake up and set the tone for the day, after yesterday’s quiet session.

THURSDAY:  .After yesterday’s large and unexpected loss, that was certainly not foretold by the futures, comes a tepid bounceback in the next morning’s futures. On any other day it would be a nice move higher, but for now represents only a fraction of yesterday’s loss.

FRIDAY:.Another negative day yesterday and it again looks like it will be followed by a tepid attempt to recover some of what wa lost, as this week of no trades comes thankfully to an end.







MONDAY:  .The pre-opening futures aren’t getting the week off to a good start, as any optimistic news about Greece last week appears to have been unwarranted, for now, at least

TUESDAY:   No recovery is in sight this morning, but at least there’s no evidence of piling on to start the morning as we await tomorrow’s FOMC Statement release

WEDNESDAY: .Coming off of yesterday’s rally erasing Monday’s loss, today’s FOMC and subsequent Chairman’s press conference could lead anywhere, as could news on Greece

THURSDAY:  .While there wasn’t a sustained rally yesterday, the market closed higher and that may continue this morning, hopefully taking expiring positions closer to action or resolution

FRIDAY:. Quadruple witching doesn’t mean what it meant 15 years ago, but coming after a 200 point gain on the DJIA, there may be some more action than typically the case for traders on the wrong side of yesterday’s move.







MONDAY:  .There isn’t too muuc sceduled news this week, but attention is really focused on interest rates as bond traders seem to be anticipating the FOMC’s action to come sooner than anyone believed just a week ago

TUESDAY:   .Another morning with a familiar start to it looks to be in store this morning. More weakness, albeit light, but no real reason for losses nor gains to occur today, although erosion is the theme

WEDNESDAY: .The morning’s futures trading is taking a rare path of late and indicating higher. Nothing tremendous, but at least the morning may get off to a positive start for a change ahead of tomorrow’s Retail Sales Report

THURSDAY:  .After yesterday’s gain it’s unreasonable to expect more, but it’s hard to be left not wanting for more. Today, though, doesn’t look as if it’s going to add significantly to those gains, although simply preserving them would also be a nice change of pace.

FRIDAY:. The market appears to be headed lower to close the week as the pre-opening futures are improving, however. Soon focus shifts to next week and the FOMC Statement release, quickly followed by the end to the monthly option cycle







MONDAY:  After a very unsatisfying week last week, this week is looking to get off to a moderately positive opening, as it gained strength during the pre-open session. Hopefully, there’ll be more trading there was last week.

TUESDAY:   The pre-opening futures this morning are giving every indication of being a mirror of last week, as yesterday’s gain is headed for erasure and uncertainty continues< WAITING FOR Friday’s Employment Situation Report to be released

WEDNESDAY: After a nive recovery yesterday, the market looks like it is ready to again move higher, but first it has to deral with the ADP Report in preperation for Friday’s Employment Sitiutaion Report

THURSDAY:  It looks like another day of the back and forth indecisiveness of the past few weeks will be continuing today as markets await tomorrow’s Employment Situation Report to either see the light or become more confused

FRIDAY: It;s all about the Employment SItuaion Report that comes out an hour before the market begins trading. After yesterday’s large loss the market really needs a number that is right in line with expectations, as there’s too much uncertainty with how it might act on either side of an extreme number.







MONDAY:   HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

TUESDAY:  Looks like markets will start the shortened trading week right where they left off last week and will be doing just about nothing. That can’t last, however, when perched at all time highs

WEDNESDAY: The pre-open futures are pointing to a mildly positive bias this morning, but a lot of good it did as a predictor of yesterday’s trading. Lots of people are still scratching their heads over what caused such a swift turnaround from the futures the moment the market opened for trading

THURSDAY:  After 2 days in which the pre-open futures foretold nothing, today is another in a series of lackluster openings being poretended

FRIDAY: Finally, an end to this week of no trades and no meaning, as the pre-open futures again point at more of the same.
