Sterling Weekly for November 11th, 2008

The overall market as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost approximately 381 points, or approximately 4% last week to finish at 8,943.81 The big event last week was obviously the election, and the election of Barrack Obama as President of the United States is an event of historic proportions. Despite by support of his opponent, I would like to take this opportunity to wish him the best of luck as President, as I believe the success or failure of his presidency will have far greater ramifications than anyone can ever imagine.

As the earnings season wraps up, my thoughts on the market is that it is busy trying to figure out what is going to happen next on a multitude of fronts. The big ones being the housing sector and the health of our financial companies. My review of the charts since the election indicates a great deal of uncertainty in the market. Hopefully we'll get some clarity from this week's trading.
