LOL - what a rude awakening. I was holding overnight ...my price alarm went off... I came running to the screen and... WTF???

Well not that rude with a profit in pocket.

Who was the numbnuts to set jobs consensus at -70K after last month was -125K?

Don't like starting the day on the wrong foot. Affects my performance.

If you're a bull, here's a formula for ya

If you like it @ X, then you'll love it @ X - y.

Let y be greater than 0 but less than X
