MONDAY:   Oil lower, world wide markets down to start the week and an an Employment Situation Report to end it. Momentum has us moving higher, but let’s see how the week can begin with the burdens of the morning

TUESDAY:  Futures are pointing sharply higher a day after it seemed to disconnect from oil. After oil turned nicely higher during  yesterday’s mid-session, the market started a sharp decline. Today, they’re again traveling together, at least to get started

WEDNESDAY:  A great day yesterday is being followed by some flatness in the futures, but those futures seem to be ignoring weakness in oil.

THURSDAY: A flat day yesterday without too much evidence of the market following where oil was going. This morning appears to be another flat day as we await tomorrow’s Employment Situation Report.

FRIDAY:. Futures were again flat this morning, but this time the Employment Situation Report loomed, but still the week looked to close higher for  the third consecutive week.

FRIDAY:. 







MONDAY:  Oil gets set to start the week about 3.5% higher, so that can only mean one thing for our market and the futures are up sharply, as well

TUESDAY:  Another large move yesterday and it was another large move higher. Today may be a day of rest and consolidation while we try and figure out what has changed to make such a difference over the past week.

WEDNESDAY:  Oil led the market much lower yesterday and it looks like it will be trying to do the same again today.

THURSDAY:  Shanghai was down almost 7% overnight and oil futures are lower this morning. You might think that out stock futures would be reeling. But following yesterday’s reversals in oil and the market, this morning futures are surprisingly flat ahead of tomorrow’s GDP

FRIDAY:. Futures are up nicely again this morning, following oil’s lead, as we await the GDP release that could confirm lots of things regarding the direction and magnitude of economic growth







MONDAY:   Happy President’s Day

TUESDAY:   Markets look to open the week on the heels of a 7% gain in the Nikkei and strong gains in Shanghai, amid some reports of an OPEC agreement to freeze oil production.

WEDNESDAY:  A reversal in oil, taking it much lower, didn’t do the same for stocks. This morning futures are moderately higher. Although nothing of substance has changed, there may be some good signs in the rear view mirror, even if there are none ahead

THURSDAY:  Following yesterday’s gain, the market is now positive for February 2016. Who would have believed it possible? This morning could add some more!

FRIDAY:. The February 2016 option cycle looks like it may come to a quiet end, just as was the case yesterday, following some tumultuous days of trading. A little bit of stability may be just the thing for a more sustainable move higher.







MONDAY:   Look out below, as oil is taking the futures for a sharp ride down, although not as bad as it had been earlier in the morning

TUESDAY:   Stocks recovered partially from yesterday’s large loss and looks to open flat this morning as the Nikkei fell 5.4% overnight and crude oil is sharply higher. The only question is “which way do i go?” as there is nothing but confusion for investors

WEDNESDAY:  Another nice mid-day comeback yesterday gives some reason for hope ahead of Janet Yellen’s Congressional appearance today. Maybe that’s why futures are up sharply in anticipation of the return of the dovish sounding Yellen

THURSDAY:  Oil plunging, negative interest rates, European banks in turmoil. What could that possibly hold in store as markets get ready to open this morning following yesterday’s late sell-off? Good guess. Futures are headed much lower as we get prepared to strap in for the opening bell

FRIDAY:. This is yet another in a series of weeks in which the end couldn’t come soon enough. This morning, however, there’s some sense that there could be a small bounce. Maybe
