Good morning, everybody. Im becky quick and welcome friyay were watching the equity futures. Three down days in a row, but the dow did make a pretty stunning recovery, down actually over 300 points after the numbers at 8 30 yesterday that showed that initial jobless claims were higher than anticipated. Ended down by 20 points at the end of the session this morning dow futures down about 13, s p s p are flat lining, nasdaq basically flat lining too well be watching this closely to see how people shoring things up you as we head into this weekend.
