EB Watch List Update Report
Dear Members,
KEY EARNINGS REPORTS:
Today: None - Columbus Day (stock market is OPEN)
Tuesday: ADTN, C, CSX, INTC, JBHT, JNJ, JPM, LLTC, WFC
MARKET NOTE:
The market has turned positive after a weak open. The S&P has moved back above its 200 day moving average, a critical development for the bulls since the S&P has not been below its 200 day moving average since the end of 2012. So a serious technical problem at the moment unless the bulls hold here. At a minimum the bulls need to close the S&P back above 1905 or risk further selling. A strong close could signal the worst of the selling is over.
