the adults will take back control of the trading.
I'm hard pressed to explain a system that so many people have so much faith in that operates so much on rumor.

7. Yeah, but they'd be bitching if we had full employment |
|

8. Expect that number to be revised a lot farther down |
|
There is no way they can fudge the numbers this time.

3. Yen is also trading at about $113 |
|
CNBC is having a hard time with their cheerleading role. This morning they all sat around looking at each other saying who knew the economy was in such a bad shape.
Pffft.

6. Ha! They did but then were perplexed when the survey came back |
|
The survey asked whether people thought we were headed for a recession. People responded; Headed? Heck no. We are IN one.
Back then CNBC folk just shook their heads upon receiving the report and said what are those idiots smokin'?
