Weekly Outlook

BOTTOM LINE: I expect US stocks to finish the week modestly lower on rising European/Emerging Markets/US High-Yield debt angst, global growth concerns, commodity weakness, yen strength, terrorism fears and escalating Brexit worries. My intermediate-term trading indicators are giving neutral signals and the Portfolio is 25% net long heading into the week.
