been closed. the european bank said it will step been more aggressive and more importantly portugal did the sale the market liked the look of that but the big driver this morning was jobs. a company called employment services and employment and private companies jumped 93,000 in november with small businesses adding a lot of workers and that was better than expected the market like that. >> we saw a down month in november it settled around 11,000 mark overall do thinks stocks are overvalued, undervalued or were they should be. >> with the extent of buying it jumping up 200.8 gives you a sense investors at least feel stocks were oversold in recent days there's a good reason for

dent in unemployment what we need to do it is at three times as many jobs per month as we are doing now. all of these are moves in the right direction no question about it i don't want a minimize the importance of job growth but if we want to see that 9 percent or 10 percent unemployment come down we have to see job growth at a far higher magnitude them we see now. >> what is next for us? what d.c. happening as we head into 2011? >> the markets will look at bush tax cuts but i don't think that will be deciding factor whether rich people get tax cuts and not i think if you want to be in the game at the moment and the market is not a place for

the faint of heart. it's all about the job market and whether we will see steady growth it's all about housing market which everyone has kept saying we've hit bottom and more on our way up and then we saw it come back down again it just keep raising questions about how much traction they need. people should be watching for november figures of auto sales that comes out later and the federal reserve will have a report on regional economic. all of those are bits and pieces. one other thing to keep in mind productivity is up according to the labor department that means employers are getting more bang for the buck out of their existing work force me and you are working harder than ever and that gives them less incentive to hire more people. productivity numbers are of little bit of a curve ball there. >> thinking free time this morning. >> 7:23 a.m. will be back in
