When you're slogging away in a cubicle at work, it might sound like a dream to wake up when you want, read a book in a hammock, putter around in the yard, etc. (You know, the things that retired people do.)
Almost half of Americans (49.9%) expect to retire before they turn 62, according to the Fe.... |
Good MorningU.S. equities continued their volatile streak on Thursday with indices rebounding more than 1.5% but the near-term trend is still down. The rise of the Omicron variant is gaining traction and could derail the global recovery. With the S&P 500 still down about 2.5% from the recent high investors should expect volatility to continue in the near term at least.
Friday’s trading will be impacted by the NFP report as well as COVID-related fears. The NFP report is expected to show upward of 500K new jobs created last month and there is risk in the number. A weaker-than-expected figure would be bad for economic growth while a hotter figure would put extra pressure on the FOMC to taper and hike rates. In either case, if the market closes lower today you can expect it to move even lower next week. Featured: Sell these "safe" blue chips immediately (Ad)

| From Our Partners | | Moderna's stock doubled in a single day after its cancer vaccine hit key Phase 3 goals, and Merck jumped too. But according to a former Steve Cohen fund manager, the next big opportunity is not Moderna or Merck.
It is a different kind of company tied to a technology already backed by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Peter Thiel. Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it will have a dramatic impact on daily life, while Anthropic's CEO believes it could unlock a century of medical progress in just ten years.
Nature Magazine estimates its potential value at $367 trillion globally, and it is already rolling out across the United States. | | Click here to learn about this new era of medical technology |
