Jobs Friday – How will markets react?

Saturday Call registration, pregame starts at 9:00 EST Password: 462265

Today is Jobs Friday, markets continue to defy the odds with very little selling pressure. Although the week has been a little choppy, markets are basically flat for the week. The overall lean is still higher.

There are many questions to ask, How will markets react to the jobs number? Will markets see some needed regression? Will the wave of buying continue? We don’t know the answers but we do know there will be some regression soon.

It is always best to stay with the market’s direction not trying to predict when it will turn or why. The footprint will tell us when the time is right

Most rolls have filled, complete the ones that haven’t early today. Look to take profits on extra options that expire next week
