Stock futures rise, point to higher opening

Stock futures are rising Monday following a jobs report that has boosted expectations for an economic recovery.

Shrewd investors never loose sight of the secular trends. The big, liquidity-driven stock rally is nothing more than the fourth consolidation pattern with a secular, currency-adjusted down trend. The bounce from the 2009 lows, 54% in U.S. dollar (nominal terms) and 28% in ounces (real or stable currency terms), follows that of 2003, 2006, and 2008. The secular down trend will resume when the window of time closes in the coming months.
