Stock Market Blog -Dec 7th

Another week, another new high in the markets! We also got a good Monthly Jobs report on Friday, with over 300,000 new jobs added. Cyber Monday sales were up, and Oil prices continued to drop. 

This marks 7 straight weeks of gains in the market! Is it time to take profits yet?? I think we'll see the NASDAQ return to its 2000 highs before we see a meaningful pullback . We're pretty close, 14 years later!
