In our weekly market update, we discussed the economic and market impact of Hurricane Sandy and also delved into the most recent jobs report. We also debated the market reaction to the presidential election and explained why tackling the looming fiscal cliff must be first and foremost on the election winner’s to-do list. Finally, in our weekly ETF spotlight segment, we examined a municipal bond ETF (ticker MUB) and explained how this is a prime example of the way ETFs can benefit investors.
