Market Commentary Highlights...

• It was a black Friday for investors as the holiday week closed with the S&P 500 turning in its worst performance during the week of Thanksgiving since 1932.

• Fear gripped the market that the risk of a default by a major European government that would trigger a financial crisis was rising.

• It is likely to take years to resolve the debt problems in Europe; however as with the lingering U.S. subprime mortgage debt and housing problems, merely stabilizing the problem may allow markets and the economy to heal from the damage.

• As progress in managing risks and efforts toward fiscal sustainability meets with setbacks and disruptions, expect continued market volatility — but not all of it to the downside as in the past seven trading days.
