The Week Ahead

Looking to the economic and earnings news for the week ahead, it's not a real heavy economic week, but there are a few significant reports. Of course the market is closed on Monday so enjoy your day off...off from trading anyway! On Tuesday possible market movers are the CPI and the FOMC minutes and on Thursday as usual Initial Claims (which unless are a huge surprise, haven't moved the market much lately).

On the earnings front some of the bigger names reporting are Hewlett Packard(HPQ), Home Depot (HD) and Wal-mart (WMT) on Tuesday and JCPenney on Thursday. There are a number of gold/silver companies announcing including Hecla Mining(HL), Agnico-Eagle (AEM), Kinross (KGC) and PanAmerican Silver (PAAS) just to name a few.

A few of my favorite places to check out earnings(as well as other financial news/info) are Yahoo finance and Bloomberg.

Have a great loooong weekend.
Happy Trading.
