About market, TAPE was under mild selling pressure but closed near high of the day, internals were mixed. Friday is all about jobs, expectations around 178,000...we have not met jobs expectations for a while, this time it may be different, because of holidays hiring, thus a beat. Nasdaq closed @ new all time high on technology leaders being strong. As i have suggested many times, a diversified portfolio will do better on most days. There is a closing BLOG only on Friday's around 7 PM.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.
