Happy Saturday
First and foremost> to any of my friends out there in Texas. If you are in the path of hurricane Harvey my prayers got out for you and yours to get through the storm safely.
Equity markets remain guilty till proven innocent we are below some key moving averages in several sectors and indexes. Shippers, energy and airlines could be sectors to keep an eye on next week. Also keep an eye on gold as well as the miners, volatility ETF's and short biased ETF's for day trading opportunities if we see more market weakness. We have full slate of economic data that will be coming out next week as well as the potential ramifications of hurricane Harvey that could impact certain sectors of the markets.
We are approaching September and October which are typically the worst months for market performance so it is prudent to be cautious until we see signs of a strong sustainable reversal.
