« Year-End Tax Planning for Shareholders of Mutual Funds! Year-End Tax Planning - Charitable Giving »

Good Morning!

The Labor Department will release the NonFarm Payroll Report for the month of November which, by all accounts, will be dismal. The consensus estimate is for a loss of 350,000 jobs with some economists projecting nearly 500,000 jobs being shed. We would use any substantial sell-off to work down cash. The reaction is based on our belief that the stock market has mostly priced in a severe recession. We see upside potential approximately two to three time the downside risk.
