Gharib. Today we learned the economy created 209,000 jobs in july, the sixth straight month of 200,000 jobs or more and that hasnt happened since 1997. The number was still below expectations and the Unemployment Rate ticked up to 6. 2 . That disappointment actually alleviated a worry, that the Federal Reserve may be forced to move faster on rates than previously thought. Eamon javers looks inside the report and what it means for the economy and job hunters. Reporter today marked the sixth month of 200,000 plus jobs growth in the United States and we havent seen a month of job declines since 2010. Thats creating opportunity across the economy. The government said today employment and leisure and hospitality headed 375,000 jobs so far this year, primarily in Food Services and drinking places. And here in maryland, the state is cashing in on casino jobs. The number of workers is expected to triple to just over 9,000 jobs in the next two years. Mgm resort is building a billiondollar casino southeast of washington dc. The doors wont open for two years, but they are already recruiting to field nearly 4,000 jobs. I think its honestly an opportunity of a lifetime to open a brandnew facility that will be beautiful. Mostly im here to find out exactly what they are looking for and the opportunities they have. Reporter at the white house, president obama called it good news. So the good news is the economy is clearly getting stronger. Things are getting better. Our engines are revving a little bit louder, and the decisions we make right now can sustain and keep that growth and momentum going. Reporter the steady jobs bounce back has investors betting on when the fed might scale back the socalled Quantitative Easing Program which has driven the stock market the new highs. Analysts are calling this the goldie locks jobs report, not too hot, not too cold. It could be good news for investors. For nightly Business Report, im eamon javers in washington. A number of economic reports to boot fail to lift the stock market today leaving the s p with the biggest weekly drop in two years. Instead, Global Concerns surrounding argentinas debt crisis overshadowed any positive data that came out. At the close the dow finished lower by 70 points to 16,493. The nasdaq was off 17 and s p 500 lost a mere five points. For the week, the blue chip dow index fell almost 3 , worst weekly dive since january. The nasdaq had its biggest weekly loss since april, and the s p lost more than 2. 5 . So lets talk more now about the economy, todays jobs report and what it may mean for the fed and the markets to do that, we welcome chris wolf, chief Investment Officer with Merrill LynchPrivate Banking and Investment Group and chief economist at moodys. Was this as we characterized it at the top, a goldie locks job report, not too hot, not too cold, the best you could have hoped for . Yeah, it was perfect. You know, a lot of jobs really broad based across a lot of industries across all pay scales. At this pace of job growth, unemployment will decline rapidly but were not to a point where were seeing any significant wage pressures. From a workers perspective, thats not great. We want to see the wage growth, but from the stock market perspective, investors dont want to see too much wage growth because that might induce the fed to raise Interest Rates sooner rather than later. Chris, does it confirm what we suspected, which is the economy is growing slowly and surely and at a pace that is not going to trigger inflation in a big way . At least no time soon . Yeah, you know, i think go gold goldie locks is the term you use. There is a big sensitivity on the depenaldanlts on fed action. They said they have to move sooner, the fed has to move sooner. Todays day to say s no they dont and we have done reversals in the bond market. There is a lot of sensitivity among the upcoming taper thats important for investors to consider. While the economy is good, i think the markets will think more where the fundamental growth trajectory is supposed to be in 2015 and 2016. Mark, as he just pointed out, the market seemed to be concerned about the pace of labor costs growth and that that might drive through and cause inflation at the retail level. But as you point out, dont we really want wage growth in this country, and what is it going to take to get it . Yeah, and we absolutely do. I mean, workers, their wages have been growing at no more than the rate of inflation since the recession, that means real wages. Our Living Standards have gone nowhere. We want to see stronger wage growth. The way to get it is more jobs. If we continue on the current growth path and continue to create overturn thousands of jobs per month, by this time next year, i think the job market will be tight enough. Its at that point, of course, the Federal Reserve will raise Interest Rates. A couple years down the road if we continue on the current growth path, odds are that we will, then well have a really good job market. Well be at full employment and then well get wage gains that are consistent with productivity growth and thats what you want to see. That would be an economy that we would be very come tofortable w chris, talk to me about the markets. I know you would over weight equities compared to bonds, but this was a wild week. Volatility was back in a big way. We saw big swings in the market. There is complacent. So i think this week was a wakeup call and that things should be more normal when you focus on fundamentals. Equity markets in particular, i think, saw a lot of that. We saw the anticipation the fed would change, take profits, take the complacent out of the market. We had big growth in earnings and that just good enough comment i made applies to equity markets, Revenue Growth is just good enough and Earnings Growth is good enough to keep i think the rally going, and this over weight that we recommend with clients is about something simple. There is not a lot of good alternatives to make a compelling case to buy more bonds. Some is protection, but not a lot more. Should individual investors be ready for more volatility as we move through the late summer into the fall . Yeah, i think were towards an infliction point by october. There is elections, fed policy change and the infection point is running from policy driven markets to fundamentally driven markets. We think thats a 2015 event and thatvolatility.

Joining us is gene, Portfolio Manager with advisors management. Good to see you. Great to be here, sue, thank you. The thing that strikes me is the severity of the sell off, the volatility that went along with it and we took out key technical levels. How much damage has been done . There is some, no doubt. There was a lot of hair trigger selling. You can see it when stocks breached widely watched Technical Support levels and that really had to do with a lot of anxiety. There was a lot of anticipation about a big correction. We did see some panic selling, some irrational selling by the end of the week and i think that was depicted in the volatility index moving up as it did. Lets get names on your buy list here at these prices, gene. Led by, cell gene, tell me your argument. Tyler, its a stock in the group i consider a core holding in a biotechnology, a large cap name there. What impresses me about this stock its a longterm performance history. We did go through a good correction in stocks in the mark, april period. This has been one of those bioteches that has not only rebounded but moved so its going to lead to new record high territory. I think that kind of durability and the longer term trend, the short term elasticity does indicate this stock has further to go and the upside, i like the Health Care Group and bioteches going forward. And you like polaris and makes recreational vehicles and things like that. Why do you like it, gene . I know it had good results lately. It has. The earnings in the latest quarter were the best quarterly showing in sometime. Not only that but the outlook by the company is very strong. So if you put a chart, over lay the charts of Harley Davidson hog against polaris, the stock is trending lower. Is this stock has been trending higher. One of their divisions, india motorcycles, the old original indian seems to be gaining market share but they have other Recreational Equipment both for the consumer and for commercial use, also. So this is a very strong company, again, good longterm history in terms of performance doing great in this market environment. I saw one of those indian cycles down at the jersey shore, and they are beautiful. Final pick tonight, that is Western Digital. Whats your price target and why are you in favor of it . Well, i think Western Digital can move to the 120 plus area over the next 12 months. Again, when we choose the stock for portfolios, were looking to assure there are other similarry attractive stocks. So when we look at the data storage area, there are other attractive stocks but in our view, Western Digital is the leader in this space, in data, audio and video. So we think this is a real great area. Here again, another one of these stocks thats been trending higher and is just below its record high here, just a few points below it despite the week that we suffered through here. Right. Gene, any disclosures for the prefix you gave us . Well, all of these stocks are held in the managed accounts and also in a number of Unit Investment i supervise. I dont hold any stocks directly but indirectly through the uit. Thanks so much. Have a great weekend. Good to see you again. Thank you, sue.

Kendall was at one of those birthday parties in the mid 90s and came back to work for her as a team. Since then, shes worked as a Kentucky Derby hat maker, taught sewing and starting a full time job as a costumer for the new york city ballet.
