Econ reports:
The Census Bureau releases its monthly retail sales report at 8:30 a.m. Eastern This is sometimes a market-mover, especially nowadays, as traders watch closely for signs that people are confident enough to pick up their shopping.
Small fry: Empire State manufacturing survey at 8:30 a.m., business inventories at 10 a.m.
Treasury announces 4-week T-bill auction results at 11 a.m.
Four other potential market-movers are scheduled during the week: Producer price index and industrial production on Tuesday, consumer price index and housing starts on Wednesday, and the Philadelphia Fed survey on Thursday.
Trading Calendar:
By my rules, at this point in the cycle I can trade December diagonal, butterfly, iron condor, vertical and calendar spreads, December covered calls and January straddles, calls and puts. And of course, shares are good at any time.
What I'm looking for:
- PCLN exit point. Analysis.
