The Week Ahead for March 9-13, 2009

Monday: January wholesale inventories
Tuesday:
Wednesday: February treasury budget
Thursday: Weekly initial jobless claims February retail sales, January business inventories
Friday: January trade balance, University of Michigan March consumer sentiment index

Larson note: Last week was really not as bad as it looked, Yes job numbers for February were worse that the analysts expected but not really as bad as investors had feared, not that it motivated them to buy some stocks. Really the economic data including retail sales and factory orders that were posted last Thursday were better than expected.

This week except for jobs I think the reports will look good. The consumer sentiment index won’t look good but then blame that on Washington. Keep an eye on your own world and be the big fish in your pond. If you can keep control of your “domain what happens (for the most part) nation and worldwide wont effect you as much.

Larson & Associates posted gross sales for February 2009 61.6% higher than February 2008 with a March projection in sales to be at least the same in not higher. Want the same results? Call us.
