fwiw the spin I get from 2 different houses (their economists) is that this number is not as bad as it looks. they point to the hours worked increasing, the rate going down to 5.9 and the effect of the california grocery workers strike.

 

no flames please, this is what two large houses are offering their salesforces and clients.

 

I hope they buy and then it proceeds to go down in flames

 

 

bon chance everybody

Was the Matrix caught napping? I'm not so sure.

 

In the past few days, the Federal Reserve has been under increasingly pointed attack for its "low rates forever" policy. Comparing the 1% Fed funds rate to the 8%-plus GDP growth, critics say the Fed is engineering a bubble.

 

Today's weak unemployment report conveniently neutralizes that criticism just before next Tuesday's Fed meeting. Wise old Uncle Al can pose and preen, congratulating himself for his prudent, patient and prescient sustained easing policy.

 

After all, let's not take our eyes off the larger goal here: re-electing the incumbents 11 months from now. We need at least another six months of flat-on-the-floor short rates to ignite a good launch into next autumn.

Gotta free up some funds to pass over to the futures pits.

 

It won't stick. Gold is the mole in the whack-a-mole game.

 

My only question is: Why does excessive gold shorting in a rising bull market not lead to short melt-downs like we see every afternoon in the SM? How come those shorts are 'different'? Aren't they afraid of losing money like everyone else?

It's not theirs, and they only lose their jobs if the republic collapses.

They can spin it all they want, Cyclist, but this is a really bad number.

 

Combined with the lack of uplifting news from INTC, bulls might well be forgiven for starting to doubt their articles of faith.

What is Long Term Unemployment ?

In November, 2.0 million unemployed persons had been looking for work for

27 weeks or longer, about the same level as in October. They represented

23.7 percent of the total unemployed.

 

MH is right. The masters of fiat money have a new excuse to extend their policy errors. Low interest rates will continue to pressure the dollar, which will lead to more central bank intervention, which brings increases in the world money supply - and rising commodity prices.

 

Bring it on. Buy on dips - precious metals (the London ETF for gold lauches Tuesday) and NG stocks.

Well, the greenman definitely needs lower rates or the housing and auto markets will collapse in a heartbeat -- hell, they're going to collapse anyway, but the lower rate just might buy them some time. The real game is DELAY. B)
