There will most likely also be flea market jitters ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting then in the week.
Every daylight is different.
I think Monday will be a sort of stagnant light of day - "a wait-and-see" kind of hours of daylight. Most folks will be "waiting for the other show to drop" - Tuesday's FMOC announcement as to whether or not there will be further interest rate cuts.
Due to the technicals, we're contained by a Bear market.
Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoy answering it!

Yes, that is my legitimate last signature!
Volatile.
The market have been within a general downtrend since mid October. Most days hold had significant spreads between the daily large and low. Expect more of the same.
My evaluation: I'm not convinced the rate cuts is enough of a catalyst to obtain the market moving up near a sustainable basis. If the coming stimulus carton gets through the Senate short drawing a veto it will help. But I'm not looking for any significant upwards movement until the summer. Hopefully, I'm wrong on the timing and the rescue will start sooner.
I don't know when the blue chips will recover from their losses, but I am convinced they will. I am selectively buying. I believe at hand are some good stocks that hold fallen satisfactory to be excellent buys. They present the opportunity to get surrounded by ahead of the next up trend. If you enjoy a long term outlook.
The flea market is highly reactive immediately to any news which hints at recession. For example, the laying-off numbers come out this week. If they are higher than forecast, next the market could resourcefully take a hip bath.

Sometimes other institutions will have a higher teaser rate, but Vanguard tends to have the highest yields I've found over the long run. (Vanguard money markets are not FDIC insured, however.)

ING and HSBC often have rates close to Vanguard, and most of their products are FDIC insured. You can check these at the following links:

If you are investing for a long period of time and are willing to accept some volatility, you should consider putting some money into no-load low-expense mutual funds. These are not guaranteed, but over the long run produce much higher returns.
