A weakening labor market puts downward pressure on wages and inflation. The labor market is still tight with about 1.7 job openings for every unemployed worker in the US. New private employment data on Wednesday by payroll services firm ADP suggested that the labor market isn’t losing any steam. The rise in oil gave a lift to energy stocks, helping to boost the overall market, reports Paul R. La Monica. Plus: US Department of Labor reports weekly jobless claims at 8:30 a.m.

Stocks were mostly unchanged Wednesday, even as a fresh batch of economic data revealed continued strength in the job market and America’s services sector. That’s led to new worries that the Federal Reserve’s aggressive rate hikes, meant to curb inflation, will eventually lead to a recession. The Dow ended the day with a loss of a little more than 40 points, or 0.1%. The rise in oil gave a lift to energy stocks, helping to prop up the overall market. Chevron (CVX) was one of the top Dow stocks, rising about 1%.

Many of the most destructive and potentially deadly impacts of a hurricane — including storm surge, flooding and rainfall — are not accounted for in a storm's category number. "Hurricane Ian is a very large, slow-moving hurricane. "There have been several alternative scales proposed over the years and none have gained enough attention or traction by the National Hurricane Center," Collins said. "It is important to have such evidence before even proposing to the National Hurricane Center that this should be considered as a replacement." Kantha said the National Hurricane Center acts conservatively and carefully with changes, particularly those with legal implications.

Anse Marcel Beach in Saint Martin before Hurricane Irma on August 25, 2016, and the storm on September 11, 2017. Hurricane Ian is a Category 3 storm forecasted to strengthen to a Category 4 before it batters Florida this week. "Hurricanes and tropical storms throw three hazards at us: wind, rainfall, and storm surge," he wrote. This shocks people, as it would seem intuitive that a Category 5 hurricane would tend to dump more rain than a Category 1 hurricane. Here's a closer look at the type of damage that storms at different categories can cause.

During the game, she said, the crowd nearby began chanting “F--- the Mormons.” Over and over. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, BYU’s sponsoring institution, Aubrey wanted the chanting to stop. Latter-day Saints have a fair track record when it comes to cheek-turning. There’s of course a balance to strike in the case of the Oregon chants. And yet, if you can publicly chant “F--- the Mormons” with only minimal social consequences, it’s time for Latter-day Saints to collectively push, as Aubrey sought to do, for greater and more immediate action.

We want firms that are profitable, that have real earnings right now. This is related to the idea of avoiding expensive stocks, which we'll talk about later. A key reason we're looking to avoid expensive stocks is because long-term rates are rising, in addition to the short end of yield curve influenced by Fed action. For example, a stock that trades at 30 times earnings is more expensive than a rival company that trades at 15 times earnings. But for the purposes of this particular story, it's important to understand that expensive stocks are more vulnerable to seeing their multiples contract in this current environment.

A day trader in her 20s will have much different view of stock diversification than a retiree looking to limit risk. Last week, we spoke about how to diversify a stock portfolio to both balance a longer-term view of your holdings while sharpening a shorter-term focus on factors that might necessitate changes. We're breaking this tutorial into seven sections: Understanding correlations Getting a portfolio started Is S & P 500 diversified? To better illustrate, let's consider the current make up of the S & P 500 — the diversification you'd achieve if you put an initial investment into an S & P 500 exchange-traded fund, or ETF. As of March 31, the end of the first quarter, the S & P 500 weighting was as follows: When you buy into an S & P 500 index fund, roughly 28 cents of every dollar goes into technology, while only 2.6 cents go into materials.

The solution: The best investors do both — maintain a long view while also focusing on the shorter term. For the sake of this exercise, let's consider one end of the barbell to be the "long-term view," and on the other the "short-term focus." Long-term view stocks First the long-term view: These stocks will be the more passively managed names and identifying them is what will free us up to focus on those that require more active management. As a result, the long-term view beats the near-term dynamics. With the earnings serving to confirm our long-term view, we took a shot at around the $2,600 level — $2,628.56 to be exact.

Top-down analysis As the name implies, top-down analysis starts by analyzing the big picture and working your way down. The industrials offers another great example of how a top-down analysis may work. Bottom-up analysis Bottom-up analysis works in the opposite direction. By combining the top-down view with the bottom-up view, the hope is to identify "great houses, in great neighborhoods."
