Weekly Update

05/05/2006

Today's monthly jobs report hinted that the economy may be slowing more than Wall Street had expected. With the current fears of inflation and concerns that the Federal Reserve will continue to raise interest rates, slower growth is seen as a positive. The market responded positively with the S&P 500 rising 1%.

This week the financial community lost Louis Rukeyser. He had a great talent for explaining the workings of Wall Street in everyday language, and did so with humor and optimism. He will definitely be missed.
