Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated slightly on Wednesday after refreshing this year's high in the previous session. A mixed private sector job report and the Fed's assessment that economy is improving failed to bolster the market.
At Wednesday's close, the Dow Jones lost 18.90, or 0.18 percent, to 10,452.68. Broader indexes went slightly higher. The Standard &Poor's 500 index inched up 0.38, or 0.03 percent, to 1,109.24, and the Nasdaq rose 9.22, or 0.42 percent, to 2,185.03.
Investors have been waiting for the Fed's latest version of Beige Book, a monthly report tracking U.S. regional economic activity. The Fed released on Wednesday the most upbeat assessment on the economy since recession gripped the country two years ago.
According to the report, U.S. economic recovery gained traction in late fall as consumer spending improved slightly and factories bumped up production.
The report shows that conditions have generally improved since the last report in late October. Eight of the Fed's 12 regions surveyed reported some pickup in activity or improved conditions, the Fed said. The survey also found that inflation remains under control, which enables the Fed to hold rates at record-lows.
Consumer spending strengthened in November as holiday shopping season started and some retailers are a bit more optimistic about sales outlook, the Fed said. The survey also found that manufacturing conditions generally showed some improvements.
Meanwhile, sales and construction in housing market improved across the country but commercial real estate conditions continued to deteriorate, the Fed report said.
While labor market remains weak, there were some silver linings in the survey findings. Some businesses in Boston and St. Louis region started to expand and hire more people.
In a separate report, the ADP National Employment Report showed 169,000 private sector jobs were lost in November, worse than the 160,000 cuts economists had expected, but fewer than the number lost in October.
The eighth straight decline in job losses provides further evidence the country's economy is recovering, though at a slow pace.
The ADP report is usually taken as a good indicator of a broader picture of the job market. Investors will embrace the government's monthly employment report on Friday. Economists are expecting the unemployment rate to remain flat at 10.2 percent in November.
Financial shares slid after JP Morgan Chase & Co. slumped on the concern that changes in derivatives rules will reduce earnings.
The House Financial Services Committee voted 31-27 on Wednesday for a bill creating a council of regulators to monitor systemic risk, shifting the cost of a failure to the financial industry and giving regulators the power to break up healthy firms.
Bank of America Corp. lost 24 cents, or 1.51 percent, to 15.65 dollars.
Dollar strengthened against major currencies, which also cooled the market on Wednesday. Oil gave up 2.3 percent to settle at 76.60 U.S. dollars a barrel in New York trading, as a rising dollar limited crude's appeal as an alternative investment.
Energy sector staged the steepest decline among 10 groups in the S&P 500. Both Exxon Mobil and Chevron shares fell.
Conoco Phillips, the third-largest U.S. oil company, said on Wednesday it plans to slash its 2010 capital spending by 10 percent as it tries to shore up cash amid plunging profits. Its shares fell 42 cents, or 0.80 percent, to 51.84 dollars.
Before you can have a successful home based business, you must first possess 3
"intangibles." These are things that must come from WITHIN you.
===> Intangible 1 <===
First, you must have a strong WHY.
Why MUST you have a successful home business? What is driving you? What is it that you CAN'T have in your life anymore and/or what is it that you absolutely MUST HAVE now?
For me, I couldn't stand working 12+ hours a day anymore and missing the experience of my children growing up. I also absolutely HAD TO HAVE the freedom of being able to control my life and finances through a little box (laptop computer) that I could carry with me anywhere in the world and not be tied to anyone's time pressures or demands but my own. That was my carrot and my stick. I felt a great pain deep in my gut of missing out on my children's lives and the incredible freedom that succeeding in a home based business would provide for me. I found my why. You MUST find yours.
===> Intangible 2 <===
You must BELIEVE that it is possible.
If you don't believe that it's POSSIBLE for you to have a successful home based business or make your living from home, you won't. It's that simple.
For me, figuring out that it was possible was just a matter of realizing that many other people were ALREADY making great money working from home. If they could do it, I could too. It would just be a matter of figuring out what those people were doing and then adapting it to my situation.
There is no shortage of undeniable PROOF that people (millions of them) are making money working from home. Just get online
and do some research and you'll find countless testimonials and stories of REAL PEOPLE making real money on the Internet. Or head to your local bookstore and you'll find the same documented evidence of this fact. Truth is, it's getting easier and easier to make money with your own home based business.
I've always said that "affiliate marketing" (a simple way to make money from home) is the job of the future. In the
"old" days, you had to go to a potential employer, apply for the position and hope for the best. Now you can simply go to any company
you want, fill out their affiliate application and start work immediately. Affiliates are the new working class. In fact, making
money with affiliate programs or making your living on the Internet is WAY MORE than possible. It is pretty much (or will be soon enough) unavoidable now. Affiliate marketing is the "job" of the future that's already here TODAY.
===> Intangible 3 <===
You must be willing to MAKE THE LEAP.
Ready, FIRE, then aim... This is the operating philosophy you MUST adopt to succeed with a home based business.
That's backwards for most people who like to aim before they fire. The fact is that home based business success is a moving target... The only thing constant about it is change. You need to stop analyzing the game and simply jump into it. You can't learn from the outside... You have to be IN THE RING to truly understand it.
The lesson here is that you will never really be READY to start a home based business. You simply have to start one. It's like having children... You're never really ready, but when it happens you adapt and grow. This is what I call "Making the Leap."
The good news is that the cost of failure with having your own home based business is very small. In the "brick and mortar"
world you need to evaluate things very carefully before you decide to open up a business. It's almost always necessary to invest thousands of dollars to get an offline business off the ground. However, on the Internet you can often start a successful business for less than $100. The Plug-In Profit Site is a great example of this:

You simply need to get IN THE GAME... Each moment that you stay "out there," you're wasting valuable time that you could be learning and skills necessary to build a successful home based business. In fact, if you're not in the game yet, you're ALREADY behind the times. Make the leap to creating a successful home based business today!
