Daily Report for Sat, Mar 29, 2008

Markets Re-cap

After JC Penny (JCP) cut its 1Q outlook on Friday to $0.50 a share, down from $0.75-0.80, traders started looking again at the negative consumer picture.

Then adding to the abundance of downbeat macro data, KB Home (KBH) reported a fiscal 1Q loss of $268.2 million vs net earnings of $27.5 million a year earlier.

Accordingly, the DJIA (-86.06), S&P 500 (-10.54), and Nasdaq Composite (-19.65) all dropped close to -1% on the day.


Comments & Outlook

I’ll leave the commentary for the Sunday Week In Review.

Have a good day.
