Season’s Greetings from Silicon Valley! There has been at least a little festive cheer over here in the USA. The unemployment rate in the USA dropped back to 8.6% from its level of 9.1% over the last few months. The so-called Black Friday shopping spree showed renewed buying activity by consumers and that seems to be continuing as we approach the Christmas season. There is some optimism that the Democrats and the Republicans are starting to work out some compromises, although they are still going backwards and forwards on negotiations to continue with an extension to the payroll tax cut and it’s anyone’s guess how that will pan out.
