As a result, in spite of the fact that many analysts forecast new historical tops for DJIA and S&P 500 indexes, on 22-nd of September key stock indexes, having felt rigid resistance, traded in narrow ranges.

Let's remind that the leader of growth on Friday were papers of media giant Tribune Company which added at once +6,05 %, having risen $1,94 up to a level $33,99 for a share.

As a result key indexes already the third time approached the top border of a range. Its overcoming becomes a strong signal of continuation of growth of indexes. However, taking into account the general negative situation in the American economy, we recommend, being outside the market, to wait for down correction of indexes.
After end of correction there will be an opportunity for long-term purchase of futures for the stated indexes
