cracking like mad on my chair, very nice! needed a laugh after all the news about black joker..and old female white clown.
I would say there is a significant chance when the market blows up the next time it will be accompanied by tears.
For the life of me I can't figure out why these markets have shot up the way they have.
me neither....No fundamentals to support it, no basis for it. I can't explain and it's annoying me. I'd consider increasing long holdings but I just don't trust it.
Quantitative easing = nearly free money to trading desks of money center banks. The input/output relationship is not difficult to grasp here, people.
Yep.
I traced it back to a paper Greenshootspan wrote. They think keeping equity prices high will aid in the recovery, obstensively by giving companies better capitalization with which to borrow and spend with. This appears to have been incorporated into the thinking at the Fed.
Anybody else see a problem with this logic?
Good post. I'll personally try to keep CA below 12% by not getting fired. But how the hell did Wyoming and Nebraska had a higher month over month change than their total unemployment?
A rise from 2% to 3% is a 50% rise.
Come on, guys! Haven't you heard of a jobless recovery before? Buy, buy, buy!
Clearly, this data is a victory for the bulls.
U.S housing is seeing some greenshoots.
Too bad it's the Chinese buying all the mortgages instead of Americans.
Some kind of lopsided world we're living in.
We don't need jobs in the new economy. We'll just trade worthless financial paper to each ad infinitum.
A couple quick points: your average change of 1.0% is actually at the -1.0% level. This appears to be an error in placing the line, not an error in math.
It also appears that the 1.0% average may understate the total. Almost all the big states, CA, IL, TX, PA show worsening trends. NY appears the only exception.
no, it is at the 1% level, not -1%
There are two scales, dude, right and left.
He put the line in the right spot for the scale on the right (with the little tick marks denoting the 5% increments).

The long horizontal scale lines are for the scale on the left.

Everybody is rich in CA, they don't need jobs. Bullish!
exactly.. they are all living on fat royalties to their swiss bank accounts.... well they WERE
SHOCKING TO FIND THAT THIS NEWS HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF!!!!
I had always thought that Bloomberg is fair. The news does not appear on the main page . I watch on net. Check it out. The news was there for few minutes, I suppose.
What a fucking fraud on the people. Buy and buy. Interestingly when the news appeared Dow stalled for a few minutes it seems. Now it is back to rising. What a joke.
ample bosom's bulging out of anchorettes' low buttoned shirts today on CNBC I wonder?

"Stock rally is "dash for trash": hedge manager Bullman"Never underestimate the number of jobs which may be created or sustained by a good red herring.
Who cares? The folks losing their jobs are just worthless folks that do not really contribute to society since they no longer pay employment taxes and will be unable to spur consumption in any meaningful way. So say many out there.
I rather suspect that the greater the pain the greater the willingness to examine alternatives. The risk of course is that ignorance, fanaticism & tyranny will take charge. However, we are already far along that road and these hits may be the only hope remaining of waking the great Narod from their slumbers.
Far along indeed. The 'American dream' is dead
But by the grace of god, there goes me. And I'm a pagan.
Numerous stock market cycles are lined up for the first week of Sep to be a significant top. NFP come out on the 4th. I think we have our rally expiration date close at hand. Since the cycles are from the 4-8th, and Labor Day is the 7th, either NFP explodes us to the upside with a little follow through on Tuesday, the 8th, or the party ends 8:30 am on the 4th. With the new highs today, we have a possible 250+ more Dow in this loco-mo-mo-train.
I literally read this article talking about "what to do when laid off". The very FIRST thing suggested was that now that you have time you should go out and TRAVEL, see things, get your mind off of your worries.
Are you kidding me?
Travel to North Dakota or Nebraska. Low employment in both states. Should be an exciting new life you can start.
it is the best thing to do... in the early 90's and again in '02 i took off a year or so and had a great time by the west coast and then the east coast... you can live pretty cheap when you take stress out of your life..
then again i was single and no mortgage and any other bills so your milage and chainage may vary
don't buy that Housing BS, Housing always peaks in the summer, and banks CANNOT sell at current prices their shadow inventory of homes which keeps growing every week, and take HUGE losses comparing to 80-95 cents on the dollar on balance sheets as for mark-to-fantasy accounting.
keep shorting the stock market on every 1% uptick
RI almost 13% too

Go figure California leads the States in unemployment, the most prosperous state, or at least one of them...so glad I live here...good grief.
Michigan has got you all beat. :-) We were where California is now months ago.
Those green shoots are trying to sprout but all these unemployed people keep walking on them. Yes I know, we are in a jobless recovery (cough, gag..........), things are great, yada yada yada
We need to grap a few enviromentalists to protect the green shoots!
How is that states average a 1% increase in unemployment, with most of the larger states increasing, yet BLS came out with a .1% reduction in unemployment??
Let me guess, the states don't use any birth-death black box adjustments, right?
I read that a survey found that more workers than ever in history fear being laid off.
These folks are the insiders. What is that telling us about future unemployment?
who needs jobs, everything is going free.. free music, movies, mortgage, reporting, health care, food stamps... soon we'll get credits for gas etc
let the Red roll in and we all can live on blogs and Second Life forever
i glad got that $163 mil back. That might be enough to cover another whole week's worth of

I dont think it's fair that good hard working people with a family can not find a job anywhere. It makes it hard for these type of people to take care of their family. I personaly have been looking for a job for 2 years and still have not been able to find one because I do not have a college education. I cannot afford college. yes I can get financial aid but I still have to pay over 50 dollars a month out of pocket to the school. I think something needs to be done to help people like us.
