| 0:00.0 | Jim Kramer here to share with you a sample of my take on the market from today's |
| 0:06.8 | CNBC Investing Club warning meeting. |
| 0:08.7 | We have seen a market that frankly has taken over by the Bulls in many different sectors |
| 0:17.0 | kind of rotating, but today it's a broad participation. |
| 0:20.5 | We've got the NASDAQ doing very well. |
| 0:22.3 | We've got the S&P doing well. And of course, the Dow's up. And one of the things that is allowing |
| 0:26.6 | that to happen is we got at 830 this morning an employment number that, frankly, it's very strong. |
| 0:33.1 | Without a lot of new inflation, though, kind of in plan inflation with more jobs. |
| 0:38.2 | And that gives the opportunity of the Fed to cut when they do meet. |
| 0:43.2 | And I think that what's happened is that we now favor a heavily, fairly favored 25 basis point rate cut at the December 18th Federal Open Market Committee meeting. |

| 1:18.7 | 50 plus, 50,000, not minus. Unemployment rate did tick up to 4.2% from 4.1, so that gives the Fed |
| 1:25.5 | cover to be able to cut if they so want to, and I think they do. |
| 1:29.3 | Labor force participation rate dips from last month. |
| 1:31.7 | Again, that's an opportunity for the Fed to be able to say, listen, it's time to cut rates. |
| 1:35.8 | Aversely earnings increase, 4.0 versus 3.9, expected, that's in line. |
| 1:40.5 | The reaction immediately from the bond market was that rates went lower. |
| 1:47.0 | Now this is very important because obviously rates have been going down, down, down, |
