Happy Thanksgiving

Friends

 

As expected, it was a quiet day of trading on the day before Thanksgiving. Before I give you the numbers, I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you, our clients, for allowing us to guide you on your financial journey. We take that responsibility very seriously and are honored that you are part of the CHJ family.

 

As for today, by the close the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 138 points to finish the day at 44,722. The S&P 500 was down 22 points to close at 5,998. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 115 points to close at 19,060. Gold was up $17 to trade at $2,638 per ounce, while oil was down $.02 to trade at $68.75 per barrel WTI.

 

The markets are closed tomorrow, of course, for Thanksgiving, and then we have a shortened trading session on Friday. We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and are able to share it with your loved ones.

 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

 

Jim
