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, and Merry Christmas! With the stock market is closed today, many are still dealing with the fallout from the market's steep drop this year. Besides a double-digit decline in stocks, bonds also had a massive decline. That's the first time since the 1930s that both assets have had such a steep decline in the same calendar year. The good news? Historically, neither asset class has declined at the same time for two years in a row. That indicates that investors may fare better in 2023 – even if it's not right away. For now, the pre-holiday market moves suggest that traders should continue to stay cautious and look for some trading opportunities on the bearish side of the markets.

Today's TOP TIPS This New Shopping Trend Could Lead to Big Profits In this Niche The holiday season has been challenging. Overall spending is up, but not enough to cover the change in inflation over the past year. Consumer savings are down, and credit card spending is on the rise. That could push consumer spending lower. As a major part of the economy, that's not good. However, there's a niche for retail spending that's been growing tremendously in recent years. And a few companies behind that trend stand to benefit. » FULL STORY Insider Trading Report: Dave & Busters Entertainment (PLAY) Hill Path Capital Partners, a major holder of Dave & Busters Entertainment (PLAY), recently added 535,000 shares.
