actually in worse shape this morning than yesterday at this time.
None of the 15 covered markets are below water, but the cumulative
average return stands hugely negative at minus 2.064 percent. The
major drag on the group is the Frankfurt DAX shedding 3.34 percent.
Before the market open today, Initial Jobless Claims for the week
ending March 6 are expected to come in unchanged versus the 7,000
decline posted in the prior week. Sharing the 8:30 a.m. time slot,
February Retail and Food Sales are expected to have advanced by 0.5
percent. In January sales sufferedtheir sharpest decline in 11
months, falling by 0.3 percent. January's headline number was
driven lower by a 3.9 percent decrease in demand at motor vehicles
and parts dealers, the biggest decline in the sector since February
2003. The most importantaspect of this report is sales without the
gasoline and auto inputs. This is more representative of true
consumer demand. In January this figure actually rose by 0.8
percent. Pull out auto sales and February Retail and Food sales are
expected to have risen by 0.5 percent, slowing from the prior
month's 0.9 percent rise. At 10:00 a.m., Federal Reserve Chairman
Greenspan speaks on education in Washington. Although education is
the topic, you never know if the economy may come up. Although this
close to a Federal Open Market Committee (this Tuesday), such a
slip is highly unlikely. So, this appearance could well be a
non-event for the market. After the market close, enterprise
software giant and potential market mover Oracle will reveal its
third quarter earning results. Could be a set-up for Friday's
market. Be prepared for the investing week ahead with Bernie
Schaeffer's FREE Monday Morning Outlook. For more details and to

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES With oil prices rising and US gasoline prices
again touching record levels in the mid $1.70s per gallon, the
government is again expressing its concerns. This happens every
time the oil price per barrel nears $40. But oil is a cyclical
business - much like natural gas. The cyclical downturn arises when
the price of energy becomes so great that new, previously too
expensive, sources re-establish themselves in the public eye. On
Tuesday, Saudi Arabian officials signed contracts withforeign oil
executives to explore for natural gas in the country's southern
desert. Saudi Arabia has the world's fourth- largest deposits of
gas, but the government has never allowed foreigners to get it out.
Christian DeHaemer at the Red Zone investment group believes this
could be the signal of the top. "High oil and natural gas prices
are all over the news. I think it is overdone." Christian thinks
natural gas prices will dip with the warm weather that will soon
occur in North America. He likes contrarian plays on investments
like Energy Select Sector, which tracks US energy companies
exclusively. The editorial team has prepared a special FREE REPORT
