We Haven’t Had That Spirit Since 1969

Fresh from the red-eye, I’m back at my desk in Fort Lauderdale after a one-day turn around in Sin City. Despite the glamour, the lights, the energy, the new Raiders stadium, the Knights home opener and the big fight this weekend, none of that fun made my agenda. The trip was strictly work-related. On the subject of work, job data rang in today with a 3.7% unemployment rate. We haven’t had that spirit since 1969. Join me for a quick chat from my desk as I expand on this ode to Henly’s famous lyrics in Hotel California and how it applies to today’s markets.
