It's a brave new world out there.... On behalf of the US (Eras is kind of like an exported service at this point, yeah?), you are welcome for the increased business activity London. On a personal note, I am sorry that the "trade" for 20 years of ...

Sigh. Don't scare the kids. All of the things you mentioned are needed/expected to complete a soft landing. I am not saying it WILL happen, but you can't really come back to earth without some stresses to the economy. Inflation won't come down ...

Haha, yeah. Democrats get to tout more jobs added....Republicans get to bash Dems for higher unemployment. Win win for everyone.
The US Employment Situation -- May 2024
- ffghost commented Jun 7, 2024
^well stated. I learned long ago that Hesron's posts are irrelevant because 90% of their first thread posts are "fake news". With no basis for the statement, nor understanding of the press release, commentary like that (from any participant) has to ...
The US Employment Situation -- May 2024
- ffghost commented Jun 6, 2024
You naysayers act like this print is indicative of the end of the world or something. The numbers are so tight that this is negligible. The 4-week moving average actually shows a 750 person DECREASE in unemployment. What does that mean? Nothing is ...
US Unemployment Insurance Weekly Claims Report
- ffghost commented Jun 5, 2024
If the rate of increase continues into/after the stock split (it won't...will it?), 3 trillion will look like rookie numbers. One more day like today and NVDA > MSFT though. It has been a wild ride!
Nvidia crosses $3 trillion, overtakes Apple as second-most valuable company

Exactly this. If 80% (insert your favorite % greater than 50% here) of retail traders blow up accounts which equates to $xx, then someone with liquidity will ALWAYS take that bet. They get paid on the order flow (commissions, spreads, fees, etc) and ...
US Services PMI at 53.8%; May 2024 Services ISM Report On Business
- ffghost commented Jun 5, 2024
I do not think that at all. They care about churn and, to a lesser extent, assets under management. Would they want you to be double your size and place double the bets? Of course. I mean, if you win, they win, but if you lose, they still get their ...

- ffghost commented Jun 5, 2024
Ah, the quintessential market reality: everyone is playing against everyone else. Isn't it wonderful? (Zero sarcasm here...honestly saying the fact that commercial plays against commercial/retail/governments and vice versa is why today's markets ...
US Services PMI at 53.8%; May 2024 Services ISM Report On Business
- ffghost commented Jun 5, 2024
First, you can't say something fell "heavily" and "gradually" at the same time. It is one of the other. The correct word is "gradually". Unemployment is still at historically low levels in the US. Second, services PMI can increase for the same ...

Haha. I guess we haven't resorted to mockery yet, have we? Can't let those Canadians get TOO far ahead of us, it would be the end!!! Hmmm....I wonder... "Congress is also asking intelligence agencies to investigate why the Canadians maintain a ...
Bank of Canada reduces policy rate by 25 basis points
- ffghost commented Jun 5, 2024
Everything you said is true. People (including media) forget to look back at all. It is not so surprising I guess. Headlines "sell". Comparative data? Not so much. The only group that seems to accept this fact is the FED (routinely stating they ...
ADP: US Private Sector Employment Increased by 152,000 Jobs in May; Annual Pay was Up 5.0%
- ffghost commented Jun 4, 2024
Isn't this precisely what was planned to happen though? FED officials have been saying that things are taking longer. But, a gradually softening labor market coinciding with a gradually lessoning rate of inflation seems to be exactly what is ...
US Job Openings and Labor Turnover – April 2024
- ffghost commented Jun 1, 2024
It is sometimes hard to have an open dialog with those of your mindset. Your response wasn't limited to one or words, however, and I sense at least a willingness to be more open minded than some on here, so will give it a shot. I won't disagree that ...
The Fed’s Preferred Inflation Measure, PCE, Shows No Further Progress
- ffghost commented Jun 1, 2024
You've outlined the exact plan to bring down inflation. This is what is SUPPOSED to happen. The byproduct of "achieving goals" on inflation (that all pundits are blaming the fed for not achieving) has, since the beginning, been an INCREASE in ...
The Fed’s Preferred Inflation Measure, PCE, Shows No Further Progress
- ffghost commented May 31, 2024
(haha, I agree with you) ...it's a 'failure' because "Japan injected cash to keep the Yen from speeding out of control to 200" doesn't make as good of a clickbait headline. The night the first intervention occurred, there was some really weird stuff ...
Japan Confirms It Spent A Record $62 Billion In Failed Attempt To Prop Up Yen
- ffghost commented May 31, 2024
While I won't disagree with the reported figures, there are many more issues with IL/Chicagoland that could be affecting PMI than just the broad economic influences. That said, it will take a couple months of this level of data (across multiple ...

Haha. Regardless of whether addict was being sarcastic and agrees with you, trust me, it unfortunately won't be the last time you have to make these types of obvious statements

Haha. There is certainly one used to determine who they call. After that, it is up to the respondents to generate the content. Of course, since so have never been called, I don't know how "leading" the questions are....which can impact things. If ...
