Looking Ahead to Today by Reflecting Back at Thursday’s Price Action
Futures and options trading is speculative in nature and involves substantial risk of loss. Futures and options trading is not suitable for all investors.
INDICES:
[Economic Reports released today: BUSINESS INVENTORIES. CONSUMER PRICE INDEX. REAL EARNINGS. RETAIL SALES] Higher closes yesterday for the cash and Dow futures along with the S&P’s and Nasdaq again. All of the indices continue to look higher ahead of three more important reports on Friday after the Dow and Nasdaq made new CONTRACT HIGHS AND CLOSES and the S&P’s new recent highs and closes. Watch the financials closely because, if they turn down, that could possibly means the public is feeling better about what’s happening and then the dollar will turn around. This could then signal a near term top in the stock market. Of course, this is my interpretation of what might happen! BUY SIGNALS FOR THE DOW, S&P’S AND THE NASDAQ. CALL FOR DETAILS!
