heinz, I find it odd this pattern hasn't been identified and broken. It always seems like as soon as a good pattern emergages, it's not good anymore.

I know breadth is always bullish, but this seems out of whack. quote.yahoo.com

Yes, on my MetaStock charts I include an "Expert Advisor" that does nothing more than put a little green thumbs-up above job-report days. Does not matter if the previous day was a big up or whether we are in the middle of a nasty down move -- the next day is up. It boggles my mind why I do not just put an order in before every such day. It is one of the markets true no-brainers. --Allan

Stat's Regarding Jobs Report And NASDAQ Composite I just did a quick scan. The data is not definitive because I did not bother with Friday's that are holidays and other anomalies. It will be within a percent or two. Since 1985 we have: 187 Number of reports 128 (68%) Report days that are up days, close->close (126 for open-close) 85 (66%) Number of times the next day is an up day as well. 106 (57%) Number of days that are up preceding a report Last report day that was not up close-close or open-to-close: Aug, 1999 You say 97% chance for Dow and S&P. That seems awfully high. Did you do the scan yourself? Tx. --Allan
