Good MorningEquity markets tread water on Monday as participants brace for a busy week. Both the economic and earnings calendars are filled this week and promise to bring market-moving news. The question is whether the news will move the market firmly in one direction or if volatility will reign supreme. On the earnings front, reports from J.B.

The Index of Leading Indicators is of particular concern because it has been negative for over a year and is expected to accelerate its decline this month. This is a signal of recessionary pressures and one that is getting louder as the months go by. Featured: Free Stock Analysis Report: Get Buy, Sell, or Hold Recommendation (Vector Vest)
