It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Good morning. Last year, we suggested shopping early for the holidays as ports were backed up, with cargo ships waiting offshore hitting record levels. While that's moderated this year, freight rail employees are still gearing up to go on strike. Companies are even winding down shipments. That could lead to the next wave of shortages on store shelves. And it's a good reason to get any shopping done now for the next few months, as any strike-related shutdown may end quickly, but could still create reverberations that last for months. For traders, it's also a sign that any company dependent on getting goods into store shelves may suffer lost sales if the goods aren't there. In today's volatile markets, that could be a safe spot to make downside bets in the coming weeks.

Today's TOP TIPS Keep Buying Companies Improving Their Product Offerings Many companies have been hit hard by the pandemic as they've failed to pivot to business strategies better suited to events.
