The Daily Note - Jobs or No Jobs

Now that BAC failed to lift yesterday, the jobs report is viewed as the possible next candidate for the job. Sorry for the pun. Yes, something always has to be "the reason" for a market move. So, is it going to be 10.2%, or 10.1%. That lower number would really kick could it not? Really!! Is this the same group that forecast dire times when unemployment was at 4.4%?

All I am pointing out is perspective. I honestly don't think anyone really cares about the numbers. The numbers are not personal; it's just a number to which I doubt traders can relate; after all, we as traders are always employed. It is only an indicator to us. Unless we know someone, or venture out to the local office, we may not even notice its reality. Stores are empty or closed, office buildings have for lease signs everywhere, and streets are not quite so bustling. We do our chores, our daily living, and we cannot relate. So why should the markets move one way or the other on 1/10%?

So closes another week. But hey this is only "Shift Work"
