Good morning folks,
Jobs number comes out in about a half hour and could set the tone for the day and potentially determine whether or not we get that 10 percent correction. A good number could force the Feds hand to start raising rates and a bad number would suggest their may be trouble ahead for the economy.
Well the number is out and the market seems to like it at least for now. It seems like it was the perfect balance of a number not too hot and not too cold. Looks like we will have a gap open and those are typically my most challenging days to day trade.
