The Federal jobs report showed that 209,000 jobs were created for July. This was 26,000 more than analyst predictions. The markets took this positively and posted more gains at the end of the day. It did stuggle during the session but the Dow closed for it's 9th straight day of gains, 8 of which were new record highs. The other major averages have had a bit more of a mixed couple of weeks as they've logged in a few losing sessions over the same period.



New sanctions on Russia have been met with the country expelling over 750 US diplomats. North Korea has continued to test fire missles and work on improving their nuclear program. Despite these events, the markets have focused on earnings which have been very positive. The Dow is in overbought territory though and a pullback is expected as earnings season winds down.



Currently, we have 3 positions opened and plan to hold them until expiration which is in 2 weeks. If the markets move lower next week, as it is expected, we will open the other half of our positions.
