Another wild and crazy week with headlines and news driving the action. Earnings continue come rather positively with a few names punished for not coming through. By and large companies are saying good things about their business, and we also see this in economic numbers. The recent jobs report had some good surprises and may…
DetailsQuite a few goood earnings opportunities out there tonight. This week has been a bit of a rollercoaster but with MA posting a robust gain we are hungry for more. Several names look prime for a play, including PRU and RIG. MUR is also on the radar, too. [tentblogger-youtube JkhX5W7JoWI]

There are several that look attractive post Monday’s afternoon earnings – such as OMI, ETH, HXL and WSH, my favorite plays for Monday come down to AMGN and RCII. I only wanted to play one but they…

Four weeks of market rally but does it feel that way? After all, the high in September of 1220 was just exceeded a couple of times this week.
