What a crazy week in the market! The Dow's at a 6-year high and oil is above $75 per barrel.

I'm seeing $3 per gallon of gas over here - damn SUVs (mine included), damn ethanol, damn Iran, damn Iraq, damn Nigeria, damn big oil, damn government, damn auto makers, damn non-inventive alternative fuel people, damn, damn, damn. If I see $4 sign me up for one of those hybrid cars - okay maybe $5.

Here's our Trading Radar for Monday 04/24:

Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq: RMBS): jury in the Hynix patent infringement case is scheduled to return for further deliberations.

NOTE: This thing has been crazy recently, some smell a sell the news situation developing here. I don't' know, a positive verdict could be parlayed into more. Either way this thing will be volitile.

TD Ameritrade (Nasdaq: AMTD) is scheduled to report results before the open Monday with Wall Street looking for EPS of $0.21 and revenues of $481.8 million.

NOTE: Well we all know online brokers have been doing great recently, and the company raised guidance on March 28 - saying they expect to exceed $0.28 for the quarter. The company may have to open-up 2006 numbers for this thing to run more

Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) is scheduled to report results before the open Monday with Wall Street looking for EPS of $1.05 and revenues of $8.7 billion.

NOTE: Cat is a such a beast, up nearly 40% since the start of 2006! Look for another strong report, but the stock is priced to perfection so be careful

Kimberly-Clark (NYSE: KMB) is scheduled to report results before the open Monday with Wall Street looking for EPS of $0.92 and revenues of $4.03 billion.

NutriSystem Inc. (Nasdaq: NTRI) is scheduled to report results after the close Monday with Wall Street looking for EPS of $0.40 and revenues of $125.1 million.

NOTE: NTRI has been feeding on Fat Americans. If the growth in NTRI is in direct proportion with my waist-line, then let me bet a 'Rock' (million) on this baby and let it ride. But let's see the number first, before I make my bets.

Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: SUNW) is scheduled to report results after the close Monday with Wall Street looking for a loss of $0.06/sh and revenues of $3.21 billion.
