Good morning folks – No time to have a case of the “Mondays” as we have a jam packed week of stuff to take on. Not only is it Options Expiration Week, but we also have the Fed Meeting this week (statement on Wednesday). As for today – nothing major to focus on but this is the only break that you’re going to get this entire week.

US Futures has been blazing a new trail earlier this morning, up almost 1% in the S&P, but since then it has tailored off quite a bit. Currently, Futures are up on the Dow 40 points, 8 points on the Nasdaq and 4.25 on the S&P. Overnight, the Asian markets were mixed, while the European markets saw some descent gains.

Just to refresh you on my current list of positions – I am long PETS, OSG, HPQ and LXK. May look to add another position to my portfolio today – there are a few from the stock screen that I posted over the weekend that I really liked. Check it out!
