Tactics that Work in Good Markets and Bad
 
--

Dear Subscribers,

Monday was a quiet day for investment news which provided a quiet, breakeven finish for stocks. Things will get "louder" as the week progresses. That's because Tuesday brings the Producer Price Index report followed on Wednesday by its close relative, the Consumer Price Index. These reports carry extra weight these days given the heightened concerns over potential deflation in our midst. Remember that was the main reason behind the Fed enacting a second round of quantitative easing to spark economic activity and to keep inflation from slipping into negative territory.

Beyond inflation folks will also be interested in Industrial Production, Housing Starts and Jobless Claims. Plain and simple, if this week's roundup of reports provides more positive news, then stocks will jolt above the Dow 11,500 level and perhaps take a shot at Dow 12,000 by year's end.
