May 3, 2006 Stock Market Recap

Trading, especially on the Nasdaq, has been lackluster all week with the notable exception of the last hour on Monday. The only hint of action today was a slide under 2,300 around 2:00. But late day buying managed to save the Nasdaq from closing under 2,300 for the first time since March. That index needs to close above its 50-day moving average to regain its bullish posture.


I don't care what the bulls say about the S&P and its new highs -- it's just going sideways! It's right where it was in mid-March.


I suspect that tomorrow will be another sideways day as people do even less while awaiting the payroll report on Friday morning.
