WEEK IN REVIEW :
The stock market started the fourth quarter on a high note. The Nasdaq
closed at its highest level since 2001 and the Dow finished at an
all-time high despite negative early-morning news. The fact that the
market rallied in the wake of these warnings is a reflection of the
improvement in sentiment that followed the Fed's rate cuts last month. Today's
action suggested that investors are feeling that the worst of the credit crisis
is already priced in the market. That consideration, along with early quarter
inflows, short-covering, and arguably, a fear of missing out on the next leg
higher, bolstered Monday's gains. The Transportation index got above 50 dma
Monday. It needs a sustained break of this range top/200 dma (4964/4967) to
improve the intermediate term neutral bias. OEX stocks that were bought the most
during buy programs executed by program trading firms: KFT, BA, HAL, SLB, JNJ,
GD, TXN,GOOG, MDT, UTX, INTC, VZ, EP, T, RTN, CVX, DELL, COP, ORCL, PG, CSCO,
CL.OEX stocks that were sold the most during sell programs executed by program
trading firms:CMCSA, CI, FDX, GM, MSFT, HNZ, LTD, HD, CPB, MS,F, MCD, AMGN, CBS

It was an unusual day of trading Tuesday. Most days , the major stock
indexes closely track one another. Today the Dow Jones industrials
closed with a moderate loss while the Nasdaq composite had a moderate
gain. Given the market's quick, sharp rebound from August's credit
market squeeze and stock selloff, it was to be expected that investors would
pause to adjust their portfolios as the fourth quarter gets under way. The Dow
fell as investors sold some of their large-cap stock holdings, which have
recently performed well. Also, with commodities prices retreating and the dollar
rebounding, big mining and oil companies such as Dow component Exxon Mobil
Corp.(XOM) may see dampened profits.

The Market extended its pullback Wednesday as investors,
retrenched from an optimistic stance early in the week and waited to see how
well corporate earnings and the job market have held up in an uneven economy. (
September employment report was due out Friday) Two days of choppy, negatively
biased action has inflicted no technical damage yet with the short term support
zone of interest at the highs from late last week. Wall Street appears to be
taking many economic readings in stride, perhaps expecting some slowdown before
the Federal Reserve's rate cut is reflected in economic data. Often, such cuts
can take more than a year to fully work themselves into the economy. OEX stocks
that were bought the most during buy programs executed by program trading firms:
USB, DOW, ATI, RF, WY, GM, CAT, WFC, UPS, CVX, AIG, MMM, CSCO, XOM, JPM, F, AA,
ROK, VZ, UTX, CL, WMT. OEX stocks that were sold the most during sell programs
executed by program trading firms:TXN, SLE, CMCSA, CI, XRX, MSFT, BA.

With little market-moving economic and corporate news on Thursday, the market
was in wait-and-see mode ahead of The Department of Labor employment report due
out on Friday. After a positive start, and then a dip into negative territory,
the major indices steadied to the unchanged mark around 12:00 ET and held there
until the final half hour of trading. At that time, modest buying interest
helped the indices finish with small gains. Eight of the ten economic sectors
finished the day in positive territory. The utilities
(+0.8%), telecom (+0.6%) and industrial (+0.4) sectors provided
leadership today. The underperformance from the consumer discretionary (-0.3%)
and technology (-0.1%) sectors helped prevent the stock market from making
further gains today.

Stocks surged on Friday following a better than expected employment report. As
the chart shows, the markets gapped up at the open and never looked back.

The S&P finished at a new all-time closing high while the Nasdaq finished at
its highest level since February, 2001. The Dow was on pace for a record close,
but some profit taking in the final 20 minutes caused it to close roughly 30
points below its highest level. For the week , the Dow gained 170.38 points ,
the Nasdaq added 78.81 points, and the SP500 added 30.84 points. All in all, it
was a bullish end to the week and a bullish start to the fourth quarter.

MUTUAL FUND FLOW :
Oct 3 - Equity Fund Inflows $4.5 Bil; Taxable Bond Fund Inflows $1.8 Bil
--------------------------------------------------------------------- US Housing
Derivatives

Commodity traders have a new toy, long-term bets on house prices. And the
initial results (analysis from admittedly light trading at Chicago's Merc)
aren't pretty for homeowners.According to TFS Derivatives of New York, traders'
actions translate to a bet that home prices will fall a lot further.This is how
regional housing indexes would fare, if the bets are correct, through Nov. 2011:

Miami, down 29.1% San Francisco, down 26.2% USA (10 cities), down 23.2%
Washington, D.C., down 20.7% Las Vegas, down 19.5% San Diego, down 19.2%
Denver, down 19.2% New York, down 18.3% Boston, down 17.7% Chicago, down
10.8%

Watch the Transports

I have warned you about the transport index in the past. It needs to rally soon
or the rest of the complex will correct
to the downside. ( Dow Theory)

Doug77 : Lasc, 2 funny things I heard: one was the head of Nareit saying, "Now
is an excellent time to use a broker" (like, when have they ever changed that
tune?) and 2, now is a great buying opportunity to get a house... asking a
broker if you need to use a broker is like asking a barber if you need a haircut
. . . lol.
