Markets continued to carry momentum during the early stages of last week, as the absence of significant economic news led to a continuation of the upward trend characterizing the past few weeks, until an earnings miss from Dell on Thursday led to a selloff in the technology sector which caused the major indices to end the week mixed. All told, the Dow ended the week in positive territory, gaining 47 points to close at 10318, up 0.5% on the week and 17.6% on the year. The Nasdaq surrendered 1.0% to close at 2146, paring its YTD gains to 36.1%, while the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 lost 0.2% and 0.3% respectively, reducing their yearly gains to 20.8 and 17.1.

Things got off to a strong start on Monday, with the

U.S. stocks rose Friday, for their second consecutive weekly advance, as upbeat earnings reports from a number of companies, including Walt Disney and JC Penny, spurred optimism that the economic recovery is gaining momentum.  A dip in the value of dollar, on concerns consumer spending is likely to remain bleak, sent shares of commodity-related companies up. 

On Friday, the 30-stock Dow Jones industrial average rose 73 points, or 0.72%, to 10,270.47. The broad Standard & Poor's 500-stock index was up 6.24 points, or 0.57%, at 1,093.48. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index advanced 18.86 points, or 0.88%, to 2,167.88.  For the week the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index jumped 2.3% to 1,093.48.  The Dow average rose 247.05 points, or 2.5%, to 10,270.47, following its 3.2% advance the prior week.

Stocks moved lower for the third consecutive day on Friday, something that hasn’t happened in more than three weeks, as the bulls just couldn’t capitalize on a short-term overbought condition. Measures of selling pressure eased as the bears rested their knuckles after a two-day pummeling.

Investors are worried. The big question – as always – is whether the primary uptrend remains intact.

And the answer is yes.

To understand just what that target should be, let’s take a look at where we are right now.

Just before Wednesday’s sell-off, measures of the supply of stocks moved to new lows, while demand moved to new highs. This means bull-market-trading rules remain in effect. But as the cyclical bull market matures a little, we need to change the target of our buying efforts.

Although it looked like losses would be cut in the early afternoon, a lack of demand resulted in the major U.S. indices settling gently

Worldwide studies have proven that high-risk medication compounding errors in pharmacies continue to cause significant harm to patients and monetary loss to hospitals. Today, CDEX, Inc. announced that Geisinger Medical Center has joined a growing list of world-class hospitals that are proactively addressing this issue by selecting the ValiMed™ Medication Safety System to assure the “Right Drug at the Right Dose” every time.

“After reading the University of Michigan Health System study that documented ValiMed’s identification of five major medical mistakes over an 18 month period at one hospital, I knew that we needed to bring that technology in-house,” stated John Jones, Geisinger Vice President, System Therapeutics. “We purchased two ValiMed units to provide additional assurance of accuracy of our compounding practices.”

“We are honored that Geisinger Medical Center selected ValiMed as part of its Medication Safety Program and look forward to working with John and his staff in integrating

In the currency market, the dollar moved lower against the euro. Late Friday, the euro was trading at $1.4215 vs. $1.4194 on Thursday. MarketWatch reported that the dollar lost ground to the euro after closely watched surveys indicated the 16-nation eurozone partially braked a fall in output in July.

The Munich-based Ifo Institute’s July German business climate index rose for the fourth-consecutive month in July, posting a reading of 87.3. Economists had forecast a rise to 86.5 from 85.9 in June.

Also, the preliminary Markit euro-zone composite purchasing managers’ index for July increased more than forecast.

The euro saw a modest jump versus the dollar after the data.

“All positive, but let’s not get carried away,” wrote strategists at Brown Brothers Harriman. “Germany’s Ifo index … is on the rise … but remains very low on a historical basis and Germany’s economy is still on track to contract by at least 5% this

The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment index slipped to 66.0 in July from 70.8 in June, but was revised up from its preliminary reading of 64.6. The reading was slightly better than expected.

The index has two major components: the expectations about how the economy will look in the future, and the state of the economy currently. Relative to June, both sides fell fairly sharply, but remain well above the lows seen last winter. Consumers' perceptions about the future dropped to a reading of 63.2 from 69.2 in June, and are almost back to the 63.1 reading in April (but that was a huge improvement over March's reading of 53.5).

The perception of the current state of the economy also slipped, falling to 70.5 from June's 73.2. However, it remains above the readings last spring (even as recent as May's 67.7 reading). While relative to June, the expectations component was the

U.S. stocks are continuing their upward march on growing belief that the economy is turning a corner as better-than-expected earnings from companies continue to impress investors.  After a four-week retreat, benchmark gauges have leapt forward as the appetite to assume risk has grown significantly.  Safe-havens like treasuries have come under pressure as investors have committed more money into stocks. 

On Thursday, the Dow Jones industrial average gained 188 points, or 2.1%, and closed at its highest point since November 5; the broad-based S&P 500 index rose to its highest in eight months, jumping 22 points, or 2.5% and the Nasdaq surged 47 points or 2.5%, closing higher for the twelfth consecutive session.  The tech-heavy index recorded its best performance since 1992.  Treasuries declined, with the 10-year off 31/32 and the corresponding yield up to 3.665%.

Although much of the earnings growth has been driven by cost-cutting measures, it has
