Today was one of those Fridays that felt bad most of the trading day. It was an options expiration date today, and there was no domestic economic news to drive the markets. PC earnings failed to ignite interest and sellers had most of a quiet Friday in August to themselves.
Here were today's unofficial closing bell levels:

S&P500
NASDAQ

A tame CPI and a slightly better University of Michigan sentiment reading failed to greatly enthuse investors despite the crummy week we saw. A hawkish Fed president Hoenig out calling for higher rates might not have helped. We also never got that GM IPO Filing that was supposed to come. This was a day that honestly felt like the red or green signal for the markets were not certain until the bitter end.
Here were today's unofficial closing bell levels:
Dow Jones 10,303.15 -16.80 (-0.16%)
S&P 500 1,079.25 -4.36 (-0.40%)
Nasdaq 2,173.48 -16.79 (-0.77%)

This was another day where the real closing verdict of red or black was unknown right up until the closing bell. The day looked very mixed from index to index and sector to sector. Consumer confidence came in weak again, and there is still mixed data on housing prices.
Here were today's closing bell levels:
Dow Jones 10,537.69 +12.26 (0.12%)
S&P 500 1,113.84 -1.17 (-0.10%)
Nasdaq 2,288.25 -8.18 (-0.36%)

After seven months of one of the strongest rallies in history, the stock market is showing signs of faltering. From here on out through the rest of 2009, I believe the advance will shift gears, and instead of recording new highs every month, the trend will tend to flatten.
And as we head into the heart of the fourth quarter, I wouldn't bet on the market making many more new highs this year.

After three days of selling and profit taking, it seems that low wholesale inflation and slightly higher weekly jobless claims were enough of a recipe for a rally.

Even while dancing on the edge of the Great Abyss one should keep one's eye on the numbers. In this case, the key indicators that presage an economy at risk of totally imploding. Sure, the auto sales numbers were no worse than grim expectations and the ISM manufacturing number was actually a positive. But, oh, we have lots of nasty numbers to go around. Start with the RevPar number. That's short for revenue per available room at hotels and is a solid indicator of the health of the travel industry, as well as the state of business travel spending. The number? Down a stunning
15.3% in the month of January, year-over-year.
