my humble opinion...
Key psychological numbers breached on Friday (-200 on the Dow, -50 on the Nasdaq) will cause more selling on Monday.
The foreign indices will drop very hard as a result of the big American selloff, which will run down the futures and cause more weakness.
A lot of fear is present in the market's mind, with Iran, Al Qaeda, peak oil, and disappointing earnings all weighing on stocks. Investors are now beginning to realize that oil prices will probably stay high and inflation will rise. This week, with housing starts dropping hard and CPI rising bigtime, the possibility of stagflation exists...
The huge 21% gain on the VIX Friday shows an abnormal shift in investor sentiment. Beware.
Any gains on Monday could be short lived, imho.
