Meanwhile the real event this week has yet to occur with the December jobs report due out on Friday. Economists are looking for a gain of 148,000 new jobs, up from 57,000 in November. Unemployment is expected to hold steady at 5.9 percent. Barring any huge surprises in the Friday jobs report don't be surprised to see the current trends remain intact. Investors are holding on to their positions until earnings season hits full swing next week. That's when we can worry about any "sell the news" reactions.
