Applications for U.S. state unemployment benefits declined last week to the lowest level since 1969, illustrating difficulties adjusting the raw data for seasonal effects.
Initial unemployment claims totaled 184,000 in the week ended Dec. 4, down 43,000 from the prior period, Labor Department data showed Thursday. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for 220,000 applications.

On the fourth Thursday in November every year, we gather with our families, eat turkey, watch football and gear up for Black Friday. 
Thanksgiving is a time for food, friends and family. It's also a time to pause, reflect on our lives and think about what we're thankful for.
The question we want to ask you on this Thanksgiving day is--What are you grateful for during your investing journey? Is it your supporting family? Your investing pals? Your profittable stock? A book you read? Maybe a guru? The list goes on and on. There are so many things that we appreciate and feel grateful deep down in our heart. Why don't you take this chance to say a big thank-you now!? Join the topic discussion #For this, I am grateful and get rewards!
Say thanks to your "tendies"
What stocks are you most thankful for this year? Or on the contrary, which stocks teach you a lesson? Be it success or setback, there's always a reason for us to be grateful because it made us grow stonger and become more experienced in investing.
Be grateful for your supporting family and friends
Trading or investing is never an easy job. Thankfully, our family or friends provides emotional support during challenging time, encouragement along investing life's twists and turns, and the comfort of being understood and accepted for what you want to do with life.
Appreciate "strangers" that give a helping hand
Do you have a guru that guides you at the beginning of your investing journey? Do you find any book that's helpful for you to make a decision? There are countless online lessons and books you can turn to when you are at a loss. Which one do you want to express your thanks to?
Don't forget to thank yourself
By the time we decided to invest and started to learn from the ground up, we made a brave decision and hard choice. Don't forget that we are a courageous man/ woman and we should feel thankful for that.
All the things money can’t buy: No matter how your portfolio or individual stock does, it’s important to remember that the best things in life are free. Holidays and spending time with family tends to prove that to us, and it’s something we should be thankful for every day, no matter what the market is doing.
