U.S. Stocks opened lower and never recovered, but traded in a narrow range today. This was a classic case of profit taking after a big up week for the major averages. Volume was very light today, and the averages generally closed near Thursday's lows.
Due to the narrow trading range in the averages today, there were not many big directional moves in individual stocks. However, many are now set up for some big moves early next week.
With all this in mind, I suspect we will see some more selling next week. We will be getting another look at the jobs market next week, which will likely have a significant impact. Any sign of improvement could help the market rally. It is all about perception, however, so pay attention to Wall Street estimates to get a feel for what direction the market will head, based upon the number reported.
