The S&P 500 ($SPX) (SPY) finished up about 1% last week, but that only tells a part of the story. The first half of the week we had a slow grid down followed but some explosive intraday moves the second half of the week. Earnings were mixed overall, but Tech had some better theme expected results with Google (GOOGL) announcing a massive buyback and Microsoft (MSFT) beating both top-line and bottom-line estimates.
This week we have more excitement on deck with earnings, we also have the beginning of the month on Monday and plenty of potentially market-moving news the rest of the week. Sprinkle in the Fed Funds rate on Wednesday and it's possible we will have a really tradable week on our hands.
