This Week in Stocks: 9/1 - 9/7/07
The Week Ahead
Last Update: 31-Aug-07 10:59 ET
The market has a holiday on Monday, which is probably a good thing as it can use extra time to decompress after a roller-coaster period of trading.
When it's open for action again on Tuesday, participants' attention will soon turn to the economy with the release of the ISM Index, as well as auto and truck sales for August.
The economic item of the week, however, will be the August employment report on Friday.
There isn't much in the way of meaningful earnings news, but Cisco is holding an analyst meeting on Wednesday and there is a bevy of investment conferences that should provide plenty of headlines that influence the market's direction.
Enjoy your Labor Day weekend!

Who invented the new tracker? Aren't we fortunate to have them?

Ocean is by far the finest and best friend of the entire MB. He spent a bunch of his time developing the new tracker for all to use. People he does not know or may never know will be able to track themselves and all of us.
Great job Ocean and thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Did I mention at no charge? And did I mention all of the time he spent?
Here is my "Hall of Fame" vote up front!

Ocean has done a great job, the kind of a guy that keeps his word, I LIKE THAT!!
EW_ret is another that has helped immensely' he modified our original tracker to make it smaller, when we were on the brink of it being 10MB which is too large to send over email. Plus taking over Rokid's Tally and assisting with the new tracker, another great guy.
There are others, you know who you are, and so do we, my Hat is off to all of you!

I hope Rokid will keep posting. He done a bang up job and I sure appreciate him sharing. Thank you!
EW is defiantly on board for the long haul. Steady as a rock and always on the ball. Thank you!
Lot of good people on the MB. Makes it hard to stay away very long.

Re: This Week in Stocks: 9/1 - 9/7/07
I was just looking through my 2004 addition of the Stocktraders Almanac. It says September usually starts out strong and then dives as Mutual Fund managers come back from vacation and sell their losers.
Re: This Week in Stocks: 9/1 - 9/7/07
Yes you are correct.
- Streak of four great Septembers averaging 4.2% gains ended in 1999 with six losers in a row averaging -5.9% losses.
- Day after Labor Day up 9 of last 11.
- Opened strong eight of last eleven years, but tends to close weak due to end-of-quarter mutual fund portfolio restructuring.
- September Triple witching Week is dangerous, week after, pitiful.
- Sell Rosh Hashonah, buy Yom Kippur, sell passover.

The Lilly Pond Report
Sunday September 02, 2007
by Spaf for the Tadpole Savings Pond
The Frog Report, Le Charts, Doodles, The Lilly Pad, Tea Leaves, and The Tin Box.
The Frog Report:
Croak............................................. It was in 1975 when Roger Staubach threw a "Hail Mary Pass" to Drew Pearson and the Cowboys won the game! Can Mr. Market, the Prez, and the Fed do the same? September seasonality is against us. We are backed up under the 50 day moving average, and the upper bollinger band has us in a tight grip of resistance, there is hope being above the 13 day moving average. But we are tired and over bought at 86.29, can we get a touchdown or just fumble the snap?
Doodles:
$SPX....1473.99 -05.38 for the week.....00000...........00000
Stops............................................. Alert (-1%)....Trail (-2%)
Crude closed at.................................74.04 +2.95 for the week ending, Ouch!
Oil Markers.......................................<70= ok, 70-80= worry, >80= panic (maybe).
NYMEX Link.......................................NYMEX
$WTIC Link.......................................$WTIC
The Lilly Pad
Location.......................................... 100% G-fund.
Tea Leaves:
Leaves............................................ Capital preservation + a cold soda and a hot dog! Go team Go!
Tin Box.
TSP (week ending).............................G=12.09..F=11. 49..C=16.51..S=19.89..I=23.90
......(end of 2006)..............................G=11.71..F=11.1 4..C=15.69..S=18.76..I=22.22
Re: This Week in Stocks: 9/1 - 9/7/07
