Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:

 1) Jobs and Wages

The November jobs report is due out at 8:30am ET. The consensus forecast from economists surveyed by CNNMoney is for a gain of 228,000 jobs.

That would be up from the 214,000 jobs added in October, when the unemployment rate fell to 5.8%.

The US economy is on track to record its best year for job growth since 1999, but wages are still struggling once inflation is taken into account.

2) Europe Bounces Back

European markets recovered from the disappointment of Thursday's inaction by the European Central Bank, helped by news of surprisingly strong German industrial orders in October and in anticipation of healthy US jobs data.

Germany's DAX was up 1.3% in morning trade, and other major regional indexes posted similar gains. Asian markets had a mixed session.

US stock futures were narrowly firmer.

3) Market Recap

US stocks closed slightly lower Thursday. The Dow gave back 12 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both slid about 0.1%.

4) Stock Market Movers

Shares in Gap (GPS) gained 3.4% in after-hours trade, boosted by a 6% increase in net sales in November. Its Old Navy brand performed well, the company said.

Big Lots (BIG) will report quarterly earnings before the opening bell.

Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:

 1) More Stimulus?

There's a slim chance the ECB will use its last meeting of the year to announce more help for the stagnant Eurozone economy. More likely is a strong hint, perhaps even a promise, from President Mario Draghi of more action to come early in 2015.

The central bank will cut its forecasts for Eurozone growth and inflation at Thursday's meeting.

Most major European markets were narrowly firmer in early trading. The euro was becalmed versus the dollar, having lost 10% so far this year to trade at a two-year low.

Asian markets posted clear gains.

2) Oil Prices Steady

After a turbulent few weeks, oil prices look to be stabilizing. US crude futures were slightly higher at nearly $68 a barrel.

The sharp fall this year is damaging high cost producers but generating a windfall for consumers and drivers. Gas prices for a lucky few have even fallen below $2 a gallon.

3) Stock Market Movers

General Motors: Shares in GM (GM) were trading about 2% firmer premarket. News about GM has improved recently after a months of damaging recall headlines.

4) Futures Flat

US stock futures were little changed. US stocks rose to new record highs again Wednesday.

 1) Oil Bounces

Oil prices were clawing back more ground -- rising about 1% to $67.40 a barrel in electronic trade -- after taking a beating following OPEC's decision not to cut production last week. That was seen as an attempt to choke off the US shale boom.

2) Mixed Leads

International markets were giving out mixed signals. European stocks notched modest gains in early trading, with Germany's DAX moving higher while the UK FTSE 100 index dipped.

The UK government is set to announce new economic forecasts, and tax and spending plans.

Asian markets also diverged. Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed 1% while the Shanghai Composite extended recent gains to close at a fresh three-year high.

3) Economic Highlights

It's a light day for economic news. The ADP's monthly employment report is due out at 8:15am. ET, followed by the Fed's Beige Book at 2:00pm ET. The monthly report gives anecdotal information about the economy from the 12 regional banks.

 1) German Stocks Rebound

The benchmark DAX index broke back above 10,000 points, a level last seen in July, on growing expectations that the European Central Bank will buy a broader range of assets to get the eurozone economy moving again.

"Additional asset purchases by the European Central Bank in the near future are much more likely," said Christian Schulz at Berenberg. "The question is no longer if, but when and what?"

The ECB is expected to cut its forecasts for growth and inflation on Thursday. But economists are split over whether it will act this week to bolster its stimulus efforts, or wait until early next year.

All other major European markets were moving higher too.

2) Futures Edge Higher

US stock futures were firmer, pointing to a positive start after markets ended down Monday. The Dow lost nearly 52 points, the S&P 500 slipped 0.7%, and the Nasdaq closed 1.3% lower.

The US Census Bureau will report construction spending at 10:00am ET. Restaurant chain Bob Evans (BOBE) will report quarterly earnings after the closing bell.

4) Stocks Enter Holiday Mode

US stock futures are inching higher Wednesday, but the gains were small.

European markets are mostly edging up in early trading, and most Asian markets ended with gains.

Here are 5 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:

1) Midterm Election Results

CNN projections show Republicans won the balance of power in both the Senate and the House.

US stock futures were pushing higher before the open.

On the economics side, the ADP national employment report for October will be published at 8:15am ET. This comes just ahead of Friday's highly anticipated monthly jobs report from the US government.

Shares in Japan's Softbank (SFTBF) declined by 2.3% after the telecom company slashed its earnings expectations for the year.

Shares in Japanese automaker Nissan (NSANY) got a 2% boost after it reported better than expected quarterly results. The weaker yen has helped, making it cheaper for foreigners to buy its cars.

Meanwhile, Asian markets ended with mixed results, though the moves were not particularly dramatic.

5) Tuesday Market Recap

US stocks closed mixed Tuesday. The Dow Jones industrial average posted a gain of nearly 18 points, while both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq slid about 0.3%.

Diversification is a technique that help you by allocating investments among various financial instruments, industries and other categories. It aims to maximize return by investing in different areas that would each react differently to the same event.

Most investment professionals agree that, although it does not guarantee against loss, diversification is the most important component of reaching long-range financial goals.

How to Diversify

In addition, it’s good to try many broker so you can decide which one you like best and can make you the most money.

At 8:30am ET, the US Bureau of Economic Analysis will release its first official reading of gross domestic product for the third quarter.

 1) The End of Stimulus

The Fed is expected to announce the conclusion of its massive stimulus program this afternoon. The quantitative easing program, which lasted for six years, is widely credited with supporting the economy and driving investors back into stocks in the aftermath of the financial crisis.

In addition to the expected stimulus announcement, the Fed is also set to give more details about plans for interest rates at 2pm ET. Most investors believe the first rate hike won't occur before June 2015, and many are betting it won't happen until the end of next year or later.

Any surprise announcements could have a big impact on trading.

US stock futures were relatively flat ahead of the major Fed announcements.

 2) Facebook Flop

Shares in Facebook (FB, Tech30) are off by about 7% premarket after executives revealed plans to ramp up spending next year. Expenses in 2015 are expected to rise by as much as 75% versus the current year, which is irking investors.

Premarket data shows Facebook's fall is dragging down the Nasdaq.

3) Russia-Ukraine Gas Talks

Investors are keeping a close eye on Russia-Ukraine energy negotiations.
