Checking in on my list of 35 or so major sector Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) reflects the day's quiet session. There are twice as many advancing ETFs as declining but as you can see the moves are small. In fact, just three on my screen are moving more than one percent in either direction. You might also notice that today's moves are mostly just counter trend moves. Biotechs and drugs are bouncing a bit from last weeks drubbing, while oil services and gold give back some of the recent gains. (Note: The AMEX Gold Bugs Index (HUI) is also included in my list of ETFs because there is no ETF to properly represent the sector - yet.)

Top Five Performing Sector Exchange Traded Funds:

• Biotech HOLDRS (BBH) = +1.28 percent
• iShares NASDAQ Biotech Fund (IBB) = +0.82 percent
• Pharmaceutical HOLDRS (PPH) = +0.69 percent
• Software HOLDRS (SWH) = +0.61 percent
• Retail HOLDRS (RTH) = +0.48 percent

Bottom Five Performing Sector Exchange Traded Funds:

• iShares GS Semiconductor Fund (IGW) = -0.59 percent
• iShares GS Natural Resources Fund (IGE) = -0.81 percent
• iShares DJ Energy (IYE) = -0.81 percent
• Amex Gold Bug Index (HUI) = -1.87 percent
• Oil Service HOLDRS (OIH) = -2.49 percent

Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI) is a stock I touched upon last week as the shares gapped higher on the news that Howard Stern will join them. Given the abundance of awful puns already out there using the term "serious" I will spare you on that front. However, I do think the stock is at an interesting juncture as it pulls back to support...

Obviously there should be some sort of caveat here about high volatility and risk, but I suspect everyone is already aware of that. What I am looking at is the area around 3.40. In April the stock failed to hold this level and then tested it in May as resistance. The recent RSI pattern (green line) of higher highs and higher lows is also interesting. A look to Zacks shows that just four of 11 analysts (36 percent) rank SIRI with a "buy" rating.

Piggy-backing on the post below, note the action in Travelzoo (TZOO) ahead of earnings tomorrow morning - the shares are up 10 percent. This is interesting considering that 58 percent of TZOO's float is sold short and a check of Zacks shows that only two analysts rate the stock, and neither gives it a "buy"...

As I just mentioned, I am still taking suggestions as to what you will find the most helpful for earnings season. While that is going on, below are the companies that report tomorrow that I am keeping an eye on...

• Before the Open
  • ADTRAN (ADTN)
  • Fastenal (FAST)
  • Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)
  • Merrill Lynch (MER)
  • State Street (STT)
  • Travelzoo (TZOO)
• After the Close
  • Intel (INTC)
  • Sonic (SONC)
  • Yahoo! (YHOO)
