When Bloomberg reported that traders on the NYSE floor were giving the thumbs up to a good jobs report, they were mistaken.
They were actually high fiveing because they had stopped out the retail traders on a whipsaw'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

Wait at minute -
The US economy added 117,000 jobs in July, and the unemployment rate edged down from 9.2 to 9.1%. But the decline in the unemployment rate was due to people leaving the labour force, not finding jobs; and the overall picture of the job market in the US is still terrible. Just 58.1% of the US labour force is employed – as bad as it has been since the recession.Last edited by scooterscot; 5 August 2011, 20:50."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

Yet cretin stockbrokers and market analysts still base 'their confidence' on manipulated figures from the govermin.
I also pissed myself when the news showed them all staring at their screens, twitching and swiping bottles of water off their desk as the values turned red. It's like watching monkeys at the zoo.
Next they'll be going home to their double-barrelled family moaning that their annual bonus is only a few million this year.
Fact is that shares are in companies. If the company performs well the shares should go up and those who invested get a dividend or make profit by cashing in those shares.
The whole world of speculating, shorting, and gambling, causing perfectly sound companies to lose value by these dickheads in London should be illegal. But then the public school boys and girls would have to get proper jobs as their parents don't like them lazying around the mansion getting under feet. That's why they sent them to boarding school in the first place.
Bunch of the lot of them.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it
