We'll see you tomorrow.

For so many investors, it probably feels like reality is catching up to the market because there's been this difference between how investors and consumers have been feeling versus what the market has been experiencing.

It does feel like, to me, with so few trading days left in the year, that it's unlikely that the market

could go higher from here, given all the headwinds that you just mentioned.

One of the companies that I follow pretty closely is a business called Paycom.

They manage payroll processing.

They reported earnings earlier this week.

But one of the things that Paycom noted is, obviously, as a payroll processing company, they depend pretty heavily on

how many times companies are processing their payroll.

So if companies are going through stuff like layoffs, that has a tangible impact on their business.

And they're seeing that firsthand as companies go through these late layoffs into this part of the year.

We talked about it last week on the show.
