Traders are also keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Jose in the Atlantic with it forecast to threaten the East Coast next week after strengthening.
• Barron's mentions: Volkswagen (OTCPK:VLKAY), China Mobile (NYSE:CHL), Frost Bank (NYSE:CFR) and MLPs are called out as enticing investment picks. Meanwhile, there is plenty of debate both ways on FedEx, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and the FANG gang of four - Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Google (GOOG, GOOGL). The publication also suggests watching lumber plays.
