Where will we end the week?

After a fairly choppy week I am just glad I am still standing. I only took one trade yesterday in $CBLI and unfortunately I got chopped having to take a small loss. We have the jobs report this morning and it will be interesting to see where we close the week out. To me, it seems like we are entering a correction phase that may have some legs. Regardless, I will continue to look for stocks to play.

Jobs report just announced was a huge miss. There was already a little blood in the water and sharks were circling so I expect there to be a feeding frenzy for the shorts today. I may sit today out unless there is an extremely strong setup for me to play.
