The Market On Friday

Its a good day to insulate the entrance way. I am putting a total of R-60 in the ceiling. What the hell.

At 8 a.m. futures are up.

Investors are expecting to hear good news today. Bernanke is speaking on the economy at 10 a.m. and government data on housing sales for July is also due out at 10 a.m.

Unless some undisclosed information comes out after that or before that 10 a.m. period, the market will be responding quickly to Bernanke and housing.

It would seem that the market can't really support much more in terms of gains. It is maxed out given the incredibly cold quality to the recessions alleged reversal.

One thing to remember for today is that oil is up again to around $73 per barrel.
