The Nikkei is closed for a government holiday. The cumulative average return on the 14 remaining bourses stands at a positive 0.203 percent. The "Claimant Count" of unemployment in the United Kingdom took its largest single monthly decline since June 2001, dropping by 13,400 in January. January's decline follows a revised 11,000 decline in December and lowered the jobless rate to 2.9 percent from the prior month's 3.0 percent. The resultswere a positive surprise to analysts looking for a 5500 decline in unemployed and a jobless rate holding steady at 3.0 percent. Before the market open today, the Mortgage Banker's Association (MBA) Refinancing Index will be released. In the prior week the index slipped by 1.4 percent. At 11:00 a.m., Fed Chairman Greenspan delivers his required semi-annual fed policy report to the House Financial Services committee in Washington. Now, while his remarks may be of the usual well-crafted variety, thequestion and answer period immediate following typically is not so structured. This could introduce a certain degree of volatility into today's session. At noon, the December Chicago Fed Midwest Manufacturing Index is scheduled for release. In November the index was in contraction mode at minus 2.6 percent. Merger and acquisition news may impact the markets today as cable TV operator Comcast has taken the bold step to acquire Walt Disney in a $66 billion bid. From what is already out on the news wires, it appears that CMCSK is offering 0.78 of its class "A" shares for each DIS share. Based upon yesterday's closing prices this would value each DIS share at 26.46, which is a 9.88 percent premium on yesterday's close.

According to DeHaemer, "The Nasdaq is in a transitional phase. Last Friday's big surge followed by Monday's action tells me exactly nothing. The Nasdaq chart has filled the gap. The fact that earnings season is over and the Fed is contemplating raising interest rates has me leaning into the short-term bearish camp -- particularly if we have a doji candle formation. That said however, there are 572 companies with bullish engulfing patterns, compared to 128 companies with bearish engulfing patterns. That would suggest we are going up. Ergo, we are at a crossroads. I must have more data before I can aggressively pursue a trading course." However, the astute DeHaemer still manages to take advantage. Not only has he caught the nanotechnology trend perfectly, but he's also riding a successful option call on H&R Block. With the stock just hitting a new 52-week high (a bullish signal), DeHaemer is up 41% since February 2.
