 | As I wrote in this column last week: it always stops raining. And with a major assist from the Fed, the most volatile week in nearly 60 years came to a close with the Dow halting a four-week losing streak to eke out a small gain. If you have the stomach to handle these turbulent markets, money-making opportunities abound. And in the end, that's all you can ask for. But past is prologue, and it is always with an eye on the future that we look to make Fast Money. And there is perhaps no better week to try to do just that than next week. A virtual orgy of economic and earnings data will hit the tape, from a crucial Fed meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, to GDP on Wednesday as well, and ultimately the Jobs Report on Friday. Some have accused Fed Chief Ben Bernanke of being both early and late when he made a surprise three-quarters of a percent rate cut this week. But the markets staged an extraordinary rebound following the move. How many more bullets does the nation's top Money Man have left in his gun? And to what extent will Bernanke's actions (or non-actions) during the Fed meeting be validated or invalidated by the Jobs Report on Friday? All crucial questions that the Fast Money will be watching. Also on the Fast Money radar: a deluge of earnings from companies in nearly every sector. Tech names like Amazon, Google and Yahoo will surely light up trading screens. We saw this week how hyper-growth names like Apple can fall out of bed with even a whiff of weakness. On the other hand, a mature tech name, Microsoft, posted some of its best results in years. Could we start to see a rotation out of the standout names of '07 and into the more established, slower-growing names? Call them "value Tech". Tech will share the spotlight with Big Pharma names next week too. Merck, Wyeth, and Bristol-Myers are all set to report. With the election heating up and interest rates dropping, drug stocks, with their healthy dividends, may warrant more attention. Lest we forget, there's also a bevy of Dow components reporting. 3M, Altria, Verizon, Boeing and Procter & Gamble are all out with results next week, providing a snapshot of the American economy, and certainly, more money-making opportunities. A busy week indeed, my friends, making Fast Money required viewing in what promises to be one crazy week. Remember, an open market is one in which you can make money. And we will try to do just that all next week. I'll see you then.. If you have questions about The Final Trade or suggestions for Fast Money, please send an email to FastMoney@cnbc.com | ||
