Markets slipped on Monday as tech stocks extended their slide ahead of Tuesday’s jobs report.

The November jobs report is in, and it’s a bit confusing. There were 14,000 more jobs added than expected, which is a good thing, but then the unemployment rate is actually higher than expected. In fact, it’s 4.6%, the highest it’s been since 2021. Also, average hourly earnings were lower than expected, both on the MoM and YoY time frames (see table below).

Nasdaq filed with the SEC on Monday to roll out round-the-clock trading starting in late 2026. The exchange plans to expand from 16 to 23 hours of trading five days a week, with a day session running from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m. and a night session from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. Total foreign holdings of US equities reached $17 trillion last year, driving demand for extended access.

Ford retreats from EVs dramatically, taking a massive $19.5 billion writedown and killing several electric models. The company will stop making the F-150 Lightning in its electric vehicle form and scrap the next-generation T3 truck, pivoting instead to gas and hybrid models. About $8.5 billion of the charge relates to cancelled EV models, with Ford citing President Trump's policies yanking federal EV support after the $7,500 tax credit expired.

Elon Musk became the first person worth $600 billion yesterday according to Forbes, boosted by SpaceX preparing to go public at an $800 billion valuation. Right after that, he became the first person with a $675 billion net worth, pushed higher by his 42% SpaceX stake. Tesla shares also jumped nearly 4% Monday after Musk said the company was testing robotaxis without safety monitors.

TLH Reckoning is breaking barriers in women’s soccer by creating Tallahassee’s first pre-professional club and academy, giving female athletes a real pathway from youth to pro, where none existed. Founded by Dr. Ashlee Fontes, a proven pioneer with decades of experience in building elite programs, the team has already launched USLW and WPSL squads, made playoffs, sent players to the pros, and earned recognition from the city, including an official TLH Reckoning Day.

With a fan-owned, player-centered model and strategic alliances like Gotham FC, TLH Reckoning is doubling its pre-pro growth while aiming for full pro status, a stadium, and a residential academy. Backed by visionary leadership and a mission-driven approach to equity in women’s sports, the club is raising $63K of its $6.5 million pre-money valuation.
