Ahead Of A Probable Blowout NFP Report, Goldman Sees A Payroll Drop Of 25,000

Tyler Durden's picture




Goldman's thoughts ahead of the NFP report to be announced in 10 minutes:

8:30: Employment report for Dec…will payrolls rise or fall?  GS: -25k, median forecast (of 76): flat, ranging from -100k to +85k; last -11k.  Economists are evenly divided on this question as last month’s near stabilization and ongoing improvement in claims for unemployment insurance has prompted half of the forecasters to predict an increase for December.  In our case, we think the drop in continuing claims, which has historically been helpful in forecasting payroll changes, should be heavily discounted as the sharp rise in workers receiving extended benefits indicates that much of this decline is simply the expiration of eligibility for the regular 26-week program

Rumor circulating of an Obama press conference after the NFP, which would only be the case if NFP (actual and/or revised) is a "seasonally irrelevant" blowout. We feel Goldman will be well below the actual.

They must have been worried about next week's treasury auctions.

This is the truth but the masses are too stupid to see it.

You need to see the home of a Democrap Lobbyist I know who was in a senior position in Clitton's White House.

No recession there.  None.  At all.  Banner years.

Anyone "connected" is living the good life.  The difference between us and Brazil is that we have fatter UE bennies to keep people placated, but placated they are.

They've got everyone convinced it was NINJAs' faults what happened, that we're just "unmotivated" which is why we're broke and jobless, while their kids prance around like they're geniuses to have inherited all that money.

I figured out how things worked when I was in a senior partner's office temping as a hardware tech fresh out of law school studying for the bar and the partner told me about how his friend, the Atty General of Arizona had offered the partner's son a job.  Wasn't asked, just basically, when he's ready to start work, send him out here.  I couldn't get people like that to answer a phone call and here they come offering a connected kid a job.

Nepotism is everywhere.  Dynastic wealth is an anathema to America

God, after you get off the line with Lloyd is there anything you would like to pass on to the rest of humanity?  Or should we just wait for Lloyd's instructions?
