The market looks like it will open slightly higher today. At 8:30AM EST, the government announced Non-farm payrolls rose a more than expected 243K. Economists had expected a 210K rise. Hourly earnings increased 0.3% met economists' forecast. The unemployment rate came in at a slightly more than expected 4.8% vs. consensus 4.7%. The report shows job growth is steadly. Until stocks are trading out of range, I would be hold off buying for now.
