NY_HOOD · Dec 5, 2008

biggest drop in non-farm payroll since 1974..this is bad. the number was 200k worse than expected.

That's good news. Should put a damper on those rampant inflation expectations

Where are all the jackasses that were saying the government is fudging the numbers? So I have to guess this -500k is really -800k?

LMAO

EVERYONE KNOWS I KEEP IT REAL. I CLOSED MY POSITIONS AT THE CLOSE. had to do it,its the discipline. i am looking at DV on any weakness related to these numbers,i think DV will bust out of its base.

And 150$ oil translated to a meager 2% inflation.

Good thinking, Makey!

Btw, I wouldn't parade yourself around here all smug with your Market calls.

Seems you were ET's biggest Perma-Bull right before the Market went off a cliff.

I'm sure everyone remembers this little gem: ZERO RISK in the SP500.

I see you have no opinion. So what if someone has an opinion about goverment numbers.

Do you feel better when you come here to rant, because thats all you do.
