Econ reports:
A private sector research group, ADP, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern releases its preview of the employment situation. The federales will weigh in with their report -- the nation's most watched economic report, on Friday. And of course, Thursday will see the weekly jobless claims report.
Also Wednesday, petroleum inventories at 10:30 a.m. Eastern.
Trading Calendar:
By my rules, at this point in the cycle I can trade September single calls or puts, and shares.
Good trading!
OK. The credit bubble burst. Housing, burst. Shockwaves reverberated. Markets collapsed. What lies ahead as we remerge from the wreckage.
