Watchlist for October 6, 2006

Sorry for the lack of posts yesterday. I was having trouble reaching my new server and wasn't in the mood to try to jump through hoops to post on both the old and new servers. I think everything is back to normal now that the DNS has had time to fully propogate, so on with the fun of trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents...

We're set for a pretty good sized gap down (QQQQ is down .58%) on the jobs report data. My first thought is to try a gap fade but I'm not really comfortable with how extended the market is right here. So I'll just wait and see how the first hour of trading shakes out before I decide which side to play today.

On Today's Calendar:

  • Nothing significant after 8:30
