What was supposed to be a shaky September, has turned out to be more talk than walk. History had many of us expecting a rough month but its coming to a close with little panic sell-off. Now that October is around the corner, its going to be interesting to see what type of ride we are in for. Some articles this weekend were talking about a sell-off once the 4th quarter starts on Thursday while many are pushing for a 4% sell-off which could allow for a new level to build further upon. Clearly, people are divided.

With oil prices falling, and gold prices contracting a bit, the flight to safety that many felt would transpire, has lost momentum and maybe the news of the Iran crisis and pending action from Israel will kick-start a rise in both of these sectors. Again, what happens around the world, what global politics are taking place that might not directly affect you, actually do! It never hurts to watch the evening news to see what connections can be made to your stock portfolio.


Friday will be a key day for September unemployment numbers. In terms of earnings, Walgreens and Nike are a couple of the ones that announce this week. Its a pretty quiet look ahead.

Happy Investing!
