wndy: how about 690? /// So close to given in, but if the mkt continues to move higher from here than everybody and their brother is correct? I just do not think it is that easy. No, have to remember how truly uinhealthy this mkt is , this is not a bull mkt, bull mkts have viloent reactions to shake out all the weak hands. Nope, this is just the fed and the shills, in a desperate attempt to hide all their crimes.

The Conference Board's Help-Wanted Index - A Key Job Barometer -

Increases Two Points

 

NEW YORK, Dec. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conference Board's Help-Wanted

Advertising Index -- a key barometer of America's job market -- increased to

39 in November, up from 37 the previous month. The Index was 40 a year ago.

In the last three months, help-wanted advertising rose in seven of the

nine U.S. regions. Strongest increases occurred in the New England (15.6%),

East North Central (12.0%) and West South Central (8.1%) regions. Declines

occurred in the Mountain (-6.6%) and South Atlantic (-1.8%) regions.

Says Conference Board Economist Ken Goldstein: "The labor market is

finally sparking to life. Initial unemployment claims are down. In fact,

they've been trending lower in the last two months. Finally, in November, the

volume of help-wanted ads showed an increase of two points. This is the first

rise of even this small amount since June."

The Conference Board surveys help-wanted advertising volume in 51 major

newspapers across the country every month. Because ad volume has proven to be

sensitive to labor market conditions, this measure provides an important gauge

of change in the local, regional and national supply of jobs.

 

Latest seasonally-adjusted results follow:

 

Nov. 03 Oct. 03 Sept. 03 Nov. 02

 

National Index 39 37 37 40

Proportion of Labor Markets

With rising Want-ad Volume 73% 37% 39% 43%

Unemployment Rate 5.9% 6.0% 6.1% 5.9%

....here comes the gold slam...

We've seen this same play sooo many times. Run the price up in London and slam it down in NY. Jam stocks. Over and over and over all year. You'd think by now that da boyz would get a little more creative. B)
