  • 7:09 AM Peter Lynch had the theory Mondays are typically bad for stocks because the weekend just gives the worrywarts time to worry. Eddy Elfenbein puts the idea to the test and finds the S&P is off 8.23% for all the combined Mondays since April 15, 2011. Tuesdays: The S&P has gained 20.05%.

  • Tuesday 7:29 AM As of last Friday, Jeff Saut's key technical indicators were in historic negative territory. In past cases, he says, major market averages were higher a month later 92% of the time. "You can have cheap equity prices, or you can have good news, but you can't have both," says Joe Rosenberg. We currently have "bad news" and "cheap prices." Take advantage.

  • Monday 8:24 AM The DJIA completed its 3rd consecutive week of losses last week - something that's only happened 9 other times in the history of the index, says Jason Goepfert. The subsequent performance in those other instances "wasn't particularly consistent or inspiring."
