How can a forecaster be so accurate? BLS and Goldman could be using the same model. No wonder their per headcount bonus is $800,000 on top of salary. The market will prop tomorrow, better than expected. What do GS or these bankers really produce, anyone?

They've executed the ponzi scheme for another quarter and now will begin to unwind the trades they've had on. Goldman and the other banks are selling and taking profits.

If most money going into bonds. Retail investors sit out. Why the big volume on the sell day? That wouldnt' be selling the shares they borrow would it? Maybe you guys can help me with this question.

The number isn't good but isn't too far from estimate. Market need volatility for the banks to make money. I don't think we'd need an upside surprise on non farm numbers for market to go up. All we need is meet estimate. Today drop could take very bad non farm payrolls into consideration already. Lot of selling today to the oversold, technically speaking.

Today the markets took out a lot of support technically speaking, and with bad fundamental news to cause it. I wouldn't be too surprised if we see some buying, but if we go down a lot tomorrow it will definitely be interesting. I'll probably buy some SPY call options since I believe soon we will get a buying frenzy to ride the 'better than expected' earnings wave coming up. I think 1000-1010 is the floor at the moment...
