The
Weekly Report for August 27th - August 31st, 2007
1) MARKET SUMMARY
2) INDEX CHARTS (DJIA, S&P, NASDAQ and RUSSELL)
Market Summary
The bulls managed to make some headway last week as
they stepped in and put an end to the downward momentum.
These gains were made despite the news that the number
of jobs lost in the mortgage and corporate lending sectors
topped 40,000 since the start of the year. As we mentioned
in our last report, the drop toward the long-term support
levels is suggesting that the bulls have a lot of work
ahead of them in order to prevent a long-term shift
downward. For now, it seems that the choppy trading
will continue and that the nearby resistance could put
a damper on further upward momentum.
We'll
watch closely to see how the major indexes respond to
the nearby long-term moving averages. Any sustained
move below the respective support levels will point
to continuing market declines.
