MONDAY:   No apparant follow through from Friday’s last two hours of trading and what could have been some Merger Monday excitement fizzling before the market’s open.

TUESDAY:     The Tuesday pattern of moving higher isn’t getting much support from the pre-opening futures which are almost perfectly flat despite some early morning earnings misses

WEDNESDAY:  FOMC statement released this afternoon, but not too likely to have any substantive changes in tone or intent. As always, what the market does in response is anyone’s guess.

THURSDAY:    Fascinating day yesterday, as the market dropped its usual hesitancy before the FOMC release and went much higher with ultimately little response to the report once released. Today’s catalysts? Jobless Claims? Existing Home Sales? Not too likely.

FRIDAY:  Hopefully this morning’s futures will have some predictive capacity and the market ends the week on either a quiet or higher nite for a change







MONDAY:   A slow start looks to be the direction to start the week. Sometimes it’s good to have cash, so Friday’s assignments may have been timely.

TUESDAY:     Yesterday’s comeback doesn’t appear to have any  follow-through this morning as there’s little on the economic front to really move the markets for the rest of the week.

WEDNESDAY:  Hopefully something better is in store today, as the market was really brutal yesterday and fairly indiscriminate in who was punished along the way, especially if earnings were light

THURSDAY:    While yesterday was a nice bounceback, it was another day in which the NASDAQ significantly under-performed and continued to resist its own bounceback.

FRIDAY:  Bring this week to an end. Absolutely nothing redeeming about it and today looks to be no different.







MONDAY:   The week lloks to start off with a push from talk of deals and mergers and hopefully will have some momentum going into mid-week’s FOMC announcement

TUESDAY:     It’s Tuesday, so that means that the market is likely headed higher. Coming during an Employment Situation Reprt week what more guarantee can you need?

WEDNESDAY:  Bad GDP, mediocre earnings may yet be discussed at today’s final day of FOMC meeting, but likely no impact and announcement not likely to express much change in policy. The reaction? Who knows?

THURSDAY:    Another fan fareless closing record and now only the Employment Situation Report left to go to close the week with hopefully continued strength

FRIDAY:  Employment Situation Report, finally. But moe importantly, whay side of the ned did traders get out of today as probale expected numbers are delivered?







MONDAY:   Not much indication of direction prior to the start of the week’s trading and not much expected economic news for the week, othe than earnings. After the past 2 weeks maybe a quiet one is in store.

TUESDAY:     A quiet follow up to a quiet weekly opening looks to be how this day gets started, although Tuesdays again have a strong trend of going higher as was the case last year.

WEDNESDAY:  It looks like another quiet day, although yesterday had the same early feel. Earnings rule the day, with little to suggest big movement in markets, but individual stocks are having big earnings related moves.

THURSDAY:    It’s Apple’s day in the sun today as it settles into middle age.

FRIDAY:  Following yesterday’s statistical oddity of an absolutely unchanged DJIA today looks to be a weak close to end the week, as earnings season has been harsh on those not meeting already lowered expectations and guiding weakly into the next quarter







MONDAY:   The only two questions are whether there will be follow through to Friday or not and when to start putting recycled funds at risk. Not too much need to rush in this morning as the big money decides which way to start off the week.

TUESDAY:     Looks like a quiet day ahead. Can that be possible?

WEDNESDAY:  A flat pre-opening in advance of an unusually unheralded FOMC minutes report. Expecting little activity until the afternoon.

THURSDAY:    Maybe today is a relative day of rest following yesterday’s post-FOMC surge and before tomorrow’s expiration. Simply hoping to maintain chances of rollovers and assignments to end the week.

FRIDAY:  Strap on. JP Mporgan and Wells Fargo earnings seem to have little impact this morning in the pre-open trading. Hopefully saner minds prevail soon
