iBooyah Perspective; week of October 2, 2006

    The Dow Jones Industrial Average will likely remain in a holding pattern this week as investors try to digest the latest news.  Manufacturing slowed amid a weak housing market and slumping auto sales.  Non-residential housing construction continued to slide but was offset by strength in office buildings and other commercial projects. 

The big economic report this week is the employment report, which is due out Friday.  Based on this report, investors will attempt to gauge the future moves of interest rates.  If it is inline with expectation, the market should continue its rally.  However, any sign of too much slow down will result in fear of recession and result in sell off.

Today is also the first day of the fourth quarter.  In the next few weeks, we’ll be entering into earning seasons.  Smart investors are keeping their money on the sidelines for now as they wait for more clues.
