The summer can be a deceptively tricky time for investors. Volume slows down. The news cycle tends to get a bit slower, and the eyes and minds of normally focused traders tend to drift to the shore as the soft breeze of the beach beckons. But if we've learned anything, it's that summer doldrums can be a perilous place to trade. Stay vigilant!! Remember, it was around a year ago this time that casual investors were introduced to the alphabet soup that is the mortgage crisis. CDOs, MBSs, SIVs and the like made their way into the lexicon of money. Bear Stearns had just disclosed that two of its hedge funds were deep in the red, and we all know how that story ended. The credit crisis appears to have subsided from now, with liquidity having returned to the credit markets, but other threats could derail that summer vacation. And chief among them appears to be oil. The new crude reality of $4 a gallon gas is having a profound effect on how individuals live their lives. People are driving less, and spending less – but they are still spending, and that will lead to moneymaking opportunities. Look no further than Wal-Mart. And with that, let's turn our attention to next week. The calendar slows down considerably, but there are some noteworthy earnings to watch for. On Tuesday, we get earnings from homebuilders Toll Brothers and Hovnanian. The housing sector was ground zero for the credit crisis, and the sector's been down 44% in the last 52 weeks, but so far this year, it has been up on expectations that the worst is at least nearing an end. Also on the calendar will be a series of annual meetings from companies as diverse as General Motors, Home Depot, Delta, Ambac and Las Vegas Sands. Also next week, we will see a sprinkling of economic news starting with ISM figures on Monday, factory orders on Tuesday, and the big kahuna on Friday when we get the monthly jobs report. The nation was shedding jobs before record oil started to pinch pocketbooks, and it will be interesting to see if that trend will continue now that consumers appear to be cutting back. Remember, an open market is a market in which you can make money. So let's try and do that all next week. .

KICKING CANCER: It's one of the most crucial meetings for healthcare. Mike Huckman is live from the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, and in rare fashion, lung cancer drugs and studies are expected to be front and center. While ASCO released the bulk of the data a couple weeks ago online, the most promising, headline-making data is held back from release until the conference itself.

THE FACE OF PFIZER'S CANCER VACCINE: He's dying of brain cancer. But he's in a clinical trial for a brain cancer "vaccine" owned by a company that Pfizer just bought for $200M with fresh data coming out at ASCO. Pfizer is trying to get a bigger footprint in oncology, recently creating a separate division for it and hiring someone from Eli Lilly to run it. This is a therapeutic vaccine which you get after you get the cancer, and Bobby Murcer is counting on the company to help him with a miracle, and investors are rooting him along.

JANE ON THE TRAIN: While Los Angeles is the nation's second biggest city, its mass transit system is considerably underused. But because of the rising price of fuel, ridership has jumped a surprising 15%. This in the town where people drive to go across the street! Monday morning, Jane Wells ditches her car for the train for her 75 mile daily roundtrip commute, that now costs about $15/day in gas. Is it cheaper to take the train? It's not faster for Jane who doesn't drive during rush hour-- though it would be faster for those who do.

INTERNATIONAL PROFITS: One of the hardest hit industries in the face of rising fuel costs is undeniably the airline sector. Measures have been announced to cut costs and raise revenues across the board, from charging for checked baggage to increasing fuel surcharges. But what's being done to add to profit? Some think the answer lies overseas. Delta is set to announce eight new international destinations, and Legacy airlines will try to increase profits by adding new routes to cities in areas previously untapped (like Africa!). Phil LeBeau explores the newest international expansion strategy and asks: is anything enough to save this struggling sector?
