Dear Subcribers,

After 6 straight winning sessions, stocks took a breather on Monday ending the day slightly in the red. There was no real news to report. And Tuesday is pretty quiet as well. The next market moving event will be on Wednesday when the weekly Jobless Claims get released a day early (because of Veterans Day).

It makes sense that the focus is now on jobs because when that starts rounding into shape it greatly improves the economy's ability to have a self reinforcing recovery. Meaning the more people who are working = more income = more spending = more corporate profits = more stock gains = more wealth/income = more spending etc, etc. We are not there yet, but more and more signs point towards this being the road we are on.
