All eyes focused on the last jobs report of ’13
Breakfast with Benjamin: Watching the last jobs report of the year, plus Vanguard as the Wal-Mart of ETFs, retailers show early weakness, shrinking health care jobs, Deutsche Bank abandons commodities trading, and unions pay fast food protesters.

- Vanguard stacks up as the Wal-Mart of the ETF world. A “cheap and deep” product line
- Retailers are showing the early warnings signs of weakness during this holiday shopping season. Deep discounts are coming too soon
- Deutsche Bank drops out of global commodities trading business, citing increased regulations and reduced profits. Will other banks follow suit?
- Unions are whipping up support by paying fast food workers to protest for higher pay. Nice work if you can get it
- Starbucks digs deeper into consumer pockets with a ridiculously brilliant Tweet-a-coffee campaign. #GrandeMochaLatte
