Strong Jobs Report Stokes a Nice Rally     

SUPER STRONG week for us as we nailed winners left and right!  Things are starting to really heat up, January was just amazing, I expect to continue the hot streak into February.  While I expect the market to 'cool off' some, expecting a bit of backing/filling that should set up for the next move up.  Not on board yet?  I'm surprised - but here is your chance - CLICK HERE AND JOIN US for a chance at some winning trades.  Below are the results from last week.

Pretty nice reaction to the jobs report (of course, if you are a bull).  But we saw some complacency building - call it confidence.  A downward surprise might have stirred things up a bit, however the market was ready to take it all in stride.  A second straight 200+ job growth number puts the economy on sound footing.  It may not seem like much, but 3-4% growth is the likely scenario.  It'll take some time for that number to really ramp up and by then maybe the problems in Europe will have passed. Put/call plunged again as did the VIX - showing a 17 level for the first time in months.  The Nasdaq hit an 11 year high while the Dow Industrials are at levels not seen in four years.  While the market is overbought we may see some pullback soon - that'll set up the next buying chance.  More big earnings are on the way over the next couple of weeks and we'll be looking at 'em close. (take a look at my article up on the site with current charts of spx and Nasdaq)

Have a great weekend...Bagger Vance
