Thursday

Today, a late jump in financial stocks helped push broad market benchmarks higher, even thought uncertainty ahead of a key jobs report led some investors to seek safety in gold. We snapped a four day losing streak! Overall, trading volume was low today, and September has been a bad month for stocks historically. Gold futures neared $1000 a troy ounce in today's trading. We hope to see a better September than in previous years. DJIA +63.94 S&P 500 +8.49 NASDAQ +16.13
