THIS WEEKS MARKET MOVERS

chart

Monday: 
Economic: Weekend meeting of Greece's cabinet vowing to take "tough decisions" but no fresh austerity measures. NAHB Index (prior 15).

Lennar (LEN).

Tuesday: 
Economic:  Housing Starts & Permits (575K & 575K).

Earnings: AutoZone (AZO), Carnival (CCL), ConAgra (CAG), FactSet (FDS).

After Hours: Naz' 100 heavyweight and the world's largest database provider Oracle (ORCL) and business software outfit Adobe (ADBE) both report after the close. Analysts expect profits to increase a bit more than 5% to $0.47 per share from $0.42 from the former and to match last year's $0.54 level at Adobe. Technically, shares of ORCL appear to be a solid read on whether the market's congestion pattern will prove to be a base for higher prices or a weekly bear flag.

General Mills (GIS), IHS (IHS).

THIS WEEK'S MARKET MOVERS

chart

Monday: 
Economic: NA.
Earnings: 
Brady (BRC).

Tuesday: 
Economic:  Import/Export, Treasury Budget (-$132B).

Earnings: Earnings doesn't get any more boring than this week other than big box electronics retailer Best Buy (BBY) reporting Tuesday morning and to a lesser extent RIM (RIMM) on Thursday evening. Analysts expect Best Buy to show a dip in profits from the year ago's $0.60 per share to $0.52. 

Technically, shares of BBY are putting together an all-too-common and rather enigmatic congestion pattern. The best that can be said is at some point soon the price action is likely to reveal itself as either a bearish flag or a corrective base and springboard for higher prices. 

Other: Cracker Barrel (CBRL).

Wednesday: 
Economic:  Weekly Mortgage Index, PPI & Core (0.0% & 0.2% vs. 0.2% & 0.4%), Retail Sales & ex Auto (0.2% & 0.3% vs. 0.5% & 0.5%), Business Inv (0.5%), Weekly Crude.
