'Zombie Economy' May Give Markets a Scare in October

Traders expect October to give the markets a scare, starting with news on the economy and jobs in the week ahead.

After a surprisingly good performance in the third quarter, the thinking is the stock market is ready to pull back, especially after a few choppy sessions and a new batch of data that should continue to show a slow-moving, ‘zombie like’ economy.

Stocks logged the best third quarter performance since 2010. For the quarter, the Dow [.DJI  13437.13    -48.84  (-0.36%)   ] surged 4.32 percent and the S&P 500 [.SPX  1440.67    -6.48  (-0.45%)   ] soared 5.76 percent.

The coming week could provide plenty of excuses to take profits, beginning with Monday’s ISM manufacturing data, again expected to show weakness in the sector.

Manufacturing reports from China, over the weekend, and from Europe, also Monday, will provide a look at just how sluggish global activity has become. (Read More: Stocks to Ward Off China Slump?)

October and the surprises that are within . . . This could be a tough month for the Obamessiah.

It's going to be tricks but no treats from now to the election when the Magic Negro gets his ass kicked.

I've read rumors that some folks with the power to do so are going to dump the market just before the election to help Mitt.  It is very tempting to jump in on the drop to ride the bull market after Mitt is elected.
