Tight trading range in the early going before the three day President's Day weekend. BMO - Here we are on Friday the 13th, the economy is...yes, believe or not...still tough but based on this morning's earnings report, people are still buying lots of Pepsi...Check out PEP below...I guess this week should have been called Soda Week...Apparently they are drinking those Pepsis in their ANF while staying at the WYN. Just before the open SPX futures are down about 5 points from Thursday's close so we may see a slightly lower open, which could then head in either direction... Stay tuned for an interesting trading day. We will be posting throughout the morning...
