Jobless Claims Rise As Previous Data Revised Up Yet Again

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/04/2012 08:42 -0400

The now-ubiquitous prior revision higher in jobless claims made the rise in jobless claims of 4,000 seem a lot less than otherwise as claims didn't even budge the market's needle. Coming in at 367k, slightly better than expected but within the 352k to 392k range that it has been in all year, the most interesting thing we can say about today's print is "it's off the lows". After last week's significant beat, no follow through is seen as we contonue to muddle through.

Bring back soup lines and get rid of the phones and debit cards. Solved

I literally watched gold spend all morning climbing up 16 bucks and then in one second it got chopped in half...and silver dropped 40 cents in the same second. Funny shit.

That's fairly normal actually. There's an air sickness bag in the seat in front of you if you need one.

That's fairly normal actually.

Criminality is the new normal in these United States.

Criminal markets is what you get when regulators have been captured. Who trusts US markets anymore?

The CFTC has been investigating silver manipulation for four years while it happens every day. There are none so blind who are paid not to see.

The CFTC has been investigating silver manipulation for four years while it happens every day.

"investigating"...? I'd like to take a poll of other choices that might work better:

a) "ignoring"

b) "promoting"

c) "endorsing"

d) "getting paybacks from"

Traded it for some S.C.U.B.A. gear. Lots of boating accidents out there to salvage.

If it happened overnight, the bankers try to erase it. Rinse and repeat until their postion is too big and they have to get out of their shorts.

It is sad how this is the new normal.....and it seems to be okay with everyone.....for sure the 47%...because they have 500 other government programs to give them money...food stamps..disability...school lunch and breakfast...milk subsidies..whatever..there are hundreds of govt freebies...

houdini would have been proud to see how the government is into illusions!

A blind monkey can see it's noisy bouncing along the bottom. A hyped blind monkey algo will sling HFT feces at each blip.

Two people telling me what to think is just too much. I'm sticking to Andrew Sullivan.

meh, would be interesting to see these numbers compared with disability claims and participation rates. This is like looking at just one corner of a painting.

Anoyone think we'll see slaughterer today after his repeated calls for after hours 'horror' yesterday? My guess is he might be too hungover to make it to a keyboard ...

Thu, 10/04/2012 - 09:09 | 2855430 fonzannoon

Yeah I have no idea what he was talking about.

Has anyone else noticed that Karl Denninger actually analyzes all the CRAP goobermint reports like they REALLY mean something? That idiot is an enmiga within an enmiga within an anus.

Butt Chucking, Bitchez. Hey, I wonder if it's reusable...

Oops, you said enigma.

Thu, 10/04/2012 - 09:44 | 2855518 GetZeeGold

I'm guessing Karl is going to say worse. When he runs out of gas...he goes striaght to the potty.

Nah, He is simply one of those people who sees the mess we are in and yet still think that some "leader" will materialize at the last minute to save our collective butts. I don't think he truly accepts that instead of saving us the two clowns will simply step on the accelerator to speed our progress into the economic wall.
