OPTIONSMART MORNING UPDATE:  Showing weakness

1. OUTLOOK: Broad-based selling effort took hold following a steep sell-off in China's Shanghai Composite Index. This news raised concerns about the global economy and prompted investors to shy away from risky assets. The retreat came despite a stronger-than-expected regional manufacturing report. Large traders need more concrete signs of economic growth. Among the fundamental economic indicators due out this week: the ISM index of manufacturing activity, auto sales for August come out Tuesday. On Friday, the monthly employment report is expected to show a slight increase in the nation's unemployment rate. QQQQ's implied volatility inched higher. The technical chart remains bullish. U.S.futures point to a lower open.
