Quiet Thursday. Loud Friday?

A quiet day like Thursday is not surprising after a big rally like we had on Wednesday. And that was the case even though we had another impressive Jobless Claims report.

Likely investors are saving up their energy for a slate of 3 heavy weight reports today.

8:30am ET January Employment Situation: Current estimates call for 135,000 jobs added. That may be a tad conservative given the strength of the ADP employment report the past couple months.

10am ET brings tandem of Factory Orders & ISM Services. Both are expected to show improvements over the last month.

If these reports turn out positive, then expect the recent bull run to continue on its merry way. However, if there are signs of weakness, then likely this several week rally will come to a screeching halt.

$5 Million Dollar Insider Bombshell

Is a global exploration company about to hit pay dirt? Its CEO just plunked down $5 million dollars of his own money to buy stock shares, and reported the insider transaction as he's legally bound to do.

This move, along with exciting fundamentals, triggered a "buy" recommendation from an insider trading strategy that tested off the charts, TRIPLING Zacks #1 gains. Due to extreme demand, it had to be closed to new investors from last September until this week. Now it must close again to you Sunday, February 5.
