The Week Ahead
The Week Ahead
Last Update: 07-Mar-08 10:21 ET
The coming week is light on scheduled events that can move the market, yet there is one item that will carry some added weight in this respect. It is the February CPI report.
The CPI data, though, won't be released until Friday. Prior to that the market will digest a number of earnings reports from the retail sector and closely-watched economic releases in the form of the Retail Sales report for February and weekly initial claims.
Further information on the upcoming economic and earnings releases can be found on our Economic Calendar and Earnings Calendar pages.

This week will be boring ED and earnings wise.
Roth: Placing a STOP at $66.25 for SDS. My reasoning is that this trade is profitable at that level and I want to give myself some room to run. Also, $66.25 is the Friday intra day low and a break below that would, in my mind, signal at the very least a relief rally.
TSP: Maintaining G fund allocation and I am getting the itch to do some C fund buying. I am trying to wait until I start seeing the 50 sma flatten or rise. More of a long term approach. How do you pick a bottom? You don't! It could go to 1200 or less. In which case by the time it hits 1300 again the 50 sma may be up.

LOL! Yup, they're front running a rate cut with the Yen carry trade. Perfect setup for a morning sell-off because there aint gonna be a rate cut today. Besides, what the heck is cut going to do?
Bond yields are down and the F fund is already up 2 cents this morning. The bond market is the smart money.

I heard a good argument as to why the Fed will go only 50 points and not 75 or 100. INFLATION IS OUT OF CONTROL and they are running out of bullets!!!! Fed Funds Rate is not the problem, the problem is write downs and lack of capital, plus fear to lend to every Tom, Dick, and Harry.
Another note is we need a conformation of these lower levels to go lower.
Earnings look like crap this morning. http://www.briefing.com/GeneralContent/Investor/Active/ArticlePopup/PagePopup.aspx?PageId=3270
CPI is the big data on Friday. Friday in a Bear market is a sellers day.

What is really scary is the Fed funds futures are pricing in 100% chance of a 75bps cut and a 25% or chance of a 100bps cut.
Talking about setting themselves up for a disappointment.

The Fed is more concerned about the credit crisis (bank liquidity) than inflation at the moment. They are behind the curve and don't care about the US dollar consequences. This crisis is different than the last recession (2001) The last one was a business slowdown. This one is a consumer led slowdown. Consumer's can't use their homes as banks to withdraw from anymore. When consumer's pull in then expect something worse than a 2 qtr. recession. The Fed is in a bind and can't fight it this one very well, and Congress can't keep handing out checks (which are not going to do any good anyway). So hunker down and keep your powder dry. I'm expecting the markets to tumble more and then possibly panic selling. We need them to put in a really good bottom, then we may have a tradeable rally. Just my 2 cents. Good Luck to all!

This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Manufacturing jobs - gone
Service Sector jobs - gone
Oil reaching new highs
Any wonder the housing bubble bursts and is toppling the dominos?

Re: This week will be boring ED and earnings wise.
Roth: SDS @ $64.00 Stop moved to $67 until I get a look at the morning futures.
Profit of 9.7% on a trade that originated on 3/5 and I'm itching to pull the trigger.
I'm not sure I am going to continue posting my Roth much longer as it is not TSP and is becoming laborious. My hope in posting was to convince a few folks to get their Roth's up and running.

Show-me,
If you stop posting your Roth, I understand. So I guess I will just say thank you. Your posting of this information did get me researching a lot more in other stocks and ETF's. Although I did not open a Roth, I did increase a moneymarket account I have in Sharebuilders/ ING. If you decide to continue posting your Roth, I am sure a lot of folks will benefit. Have a great night, and thanks again.

Re: This week will be boring ED and earnings wise.
Hi Barney, ok you've got my curiosity up. I thought Sharebuilders was for stocks. What do you buy for a moneymarket sharebuilder account? I'm about ready to start saving again outside TSP, it's been awhile but I anticipate having my house paid off by next month so will have new cash to sock away somewhere else, woohooo! Maybe MM first in lieu of savings acct-I'll be needing to rebuild cash stash before I get to ROTH this year. Enlightment re mm account logistics w/Sharebuilders would be much appreciated.
