    good comments as always @MaximusAnalysis thx for the vid

    i'm thinking we're prob not going to be seeing much again this week given that this is the final week of the summer for a lot of people, and with the long weekend upcoming this week, it's probably going to be a quiet week for the most part...

    that being said - perhaps this friday could be of some interest as we get the payroll #'s?

    you're right though its been a chop fest the past 4 weeks...

    case in point: for the exception of some chop up and down, cash s&p is basically exactly where it was since the july nfp's as of today's close

    [​IMG]

    curious if we'll see a break out of this 4-week range one way or another on the payroll #

    not sure ... but prior to the july payrolls also recall that we had been stuck in a 2-3 week chop range until we finally broke out to the upside on the nfp's...

    we'll see what happens this time around ... hopefully we'll see some resolve one way or the other as we enter the month of september!

    its actually even worse when you expand on that chart just another couple of weeks out ... if you take away that little down move on 8/2 where price dipped down to 2147 ... we have basically been trading in about a 30-handle range for nearly 7 weeks lol

    good to know about the ANF stuff ... i wasn't even aware that the ceo said their clothes weren't for heavy set people ... but also acting like a douchebag about it to boot? wow ... i was happy to see them down as much as they were today as well because your's truly had them as a short pick in the weekly contest this week lol

    oh btw, just a correction but i believe it's pronounced My-Lin not Ma-Lan :p

    The U.S. economy added 177,000 jobs to private payrolls over the past month, according to the ADP Employment Report.
    Economists had expected 175,000 jobs to have been added. July's private payrolls were revised up to 194,000 from 179,000.

    The official jobs report for August, the most closely watched release of the month, will be out on Friday. Economists expect the pace of jobs growth in August to slow after blockbuster readings in June and July. Analysts at TD Securities expect 189,000 jobs to have been added to the U.S. economy, while the unemployment rate will dip to 4.8%. The U.S. economy added 255,000 jobs in July.
