Coming week could bring new market jitters
After closing with a record point loss for the week, the US stock market may have new fears to contend with next week with earning reports expected.
October is a traditionally ominous as the stock market crashes of 1929 and 1987 both hit during this month. Financial and high tech companies will report their earnings next week.

A number of other important economic indicators will be announced on Wednesday and Thursday.
