If the US were truly seeing a decrease in unemployment then retail spending would be increasing, it wouldn’t be flat or falling.<br /><br />A real reduction in unemployment would mean jobs, not birth/death models, a decline in unemployment claims (which only means that benefits ran out) or other such happy news.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-19963570136269443482010-11-10T20:21:42.641-07:002010-11-10T20:21:42.641-07:00With all these favorable reports the gov't rel...With all these favorable reports the gov't releases, anyone witha clue knows they're manipulated. Same with companies, they've been doing a lot of cost cutting ie. layoffs and who knows how they're doing their "accounting" vs actual accounting.Harvey Geehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635919713994950614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-9528829817729654302010-11-10T07:27:00.255-07:002010-11-10T07:27:00.255-07:00the bounce this AM in PM argues/supports your poin...the bounce this AM in PM argues/supports your point.<br /><br />There is a huge disconnect going on between reality and what the govt officials and media and many if not most brokers/ria's say. <br /><br />there are going to be a lot of unhappy campers/investors out there who outsourced their responsibility to brokers and ria's following the same old, same old philsophies.Halnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-57602173528033105622010-11-09T18:59:31.857-07:002010-11-09T18:59:31.857-07:0009-Nov-10 14:30 ET In Play Silver futures are cu...09-Nov-10 14:30 ET In Play Silver futures are currently trading higher by 61.8 cents to $28.05 : The sell off started heading into the close of pit trade, at 1:30 pm ET, and it coincided with a pull-back in gold futures. Strength in the dollar weighed on both metals. However, the sell off in silver also coincides with talk that the CME had sent out notice that the initial margin requirements for silver contracts was being raised 30%. That was confirmed minutes ago. We would note that this is standard procedure as volatility increases in certain markets.<br /><br />09-Nov-10 15:49 ET In Play <br />Silver Trust ETF posting the heaviest daily volume ever in the existence of the ETF proxy for silver futures as price reverses sharply from multi-decade highs (26.03 -1.12) : As of now, 141.5M shares have changed hands vs. 3 month avg. of 14.2M.mabmannoreply@blogger.com
