It's the revisions that might take some heads off.

Quote from Lawrence Chan:

Retail is extremely bearish last I heard.

Big government, however, wanted higher prints for many reasons.

What reasons might they be?

Just need to get to roman's stop, then I will stop buying.

Half out at 40.75

At this point, I can't possibly even begin to express how I feel.

 

[Uncle]

feels like close will be around 940.. so planning to sell/buy any 3 point deviation from 940..

i wouldnt short before nfp or post nfp... the sunday night session is the best...

the nfp number is too visible for the socialists not to defend.

Agreed. I would add that holding a short into the numbers is a bit risky to me, the market being so close to the yr highs.

Man who the hell cares about NFP? This PA ain't normal, period. Never seen such a blatant manipulation in the past and god forbid I hope I don't see it in the future.
