MONDAY:  Another very quiet and abbreviated economic news week and the international front seems a bit quieter. Not a bad combination to begin the week and hopefully continue Friday’s very strong showing

TUESDAY:     Another day where only quiet can really be justified, as news is lacking on all fronts. Today, however, doesn’t have some of the same kind of jump start stimulus as yesterday had, with Kinder Morgan’s news.

WEDNESDAY:  Another day devoid of major news, marred a little by Macys earnings, but still looking to continue the week’s narrow range

THURSDAY:    They’re not shopping at Wal-Mart? They’re not shopping at Macys? Maybe Nordstrom? It can’t all be at Amazon.

FRIDAY:  No real news to end the week, which is on track to become the strongest in nearly 2 months







MONDAY:  First signs to start the week are that there is no follow through to last week’s late sell-off, so basically we start the week where we were on June 3, 2014.

TUESDAY:     No more bounce seems to be left following yesterday’s rebound. The remainder of the week has relatively little expected news and earnings reports are dwindling down along with the summer.

WEDNESDAY:  Another gloomy start to the day appears to be in store as Europe sets the tone as Italy is now in recession and Russia is knocking on Ukraine’s door

THURSDAY:    The ECB rate announcement is a non-event and markets remain flat after yesterday’s lack of direction, hopefully taking us closer to the week’s end without any great surprises.

FRIDAY:  An abysmal week for the markets comes to an end as it approaches a 5% decline from its highs mostly on non-market news.







MONDAY:  Not much news scheduled this week, other than lots of earnings reports, but the market appears to be ready to get off to a nice start to begin trading, with a little bit of surprising earnings help from Citigroup.

TUESDAY:     More good earnings from financial sector with JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs reporting. Congressional testimony from Janet Yellen over the next two days could add to sense that economic expansion is now really taking hold.

WEDNESDAY:  More mergers may add market fuel, but historically that has meant the approach of a market top. When you’re spending other people’s money you’re very often unaware of  or indifferent to value

THURSDAY:    Weak European markets looking to upset the party here, as more bank earnings point to something good going on, at least on one level of the economy.

FRIDAY:  With news of airplane downing and ground assault on Gaza now old, the market seems to be ready to settle down after yesterday’s accelerating sell off during afternoon trading

MONDAY:  Not much news scheduled this week, other than lots of earnings reports, but the market appears to be ready to get off to a nice start to begin trading, with a little bit of surprising earnings help from Citigroup.

TUESDAY:     More good earnings from financial sector with JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs reporting. Congressional testimony from Janet Yellen over the next two days could add to sense that economic expansion is now really taking hold.

WEDNESDAY: 

THURSDAY:   

FRIDAY: 







MONDAY:  A very shortened trading week finishing off with the Employment Sitiuation Report. With low volume likely there could be some exaggerated moves ahead

TUESDAY:     A little early morning strength would be nice if spilling over to and then growing in the regular session, in what still should be a quiet day.

WEDNESDAY:  This morning’s ADP Report leads to tomorrow’s Employment Situation Report which leads to a long, long wekend. Yesterday’s low volume rally awaiting some reason to continue, although not as if it needed any reason to start

THURSDAY:    Important statistics due, shortened trading day and low volume. What’s not to like? All bets off until Employment SItuation Report is released and then whoever hasn’t already left for the holiday will rule the day.

FRIDAY:
