I wonder how stocks would react to that?

It would take the Sep. rate hike off the table but, yuck.

Yes, you can.....but are you sure you WANT TO????
I remember a recent change by one member who ended up changing OUT of a winning guess.
Just sayin'. :22::22:

Thanks to you & RealMoneyissues!
Although it would be good for the economy if we gained more jobs, I'm not that optimistic. The Government consensus is 175K with Range of 125K to 215K. Given recent trends, I'll go with the revision. I have no clue how they come up with the seasonal adjustments and there have been two prior downward revisions to actuals this year--therefore anything really is only a guess.

WF, glad to see you participating in the contest....so before it's too late, you need to change your guess to an even, 000, guess (per the contest rules!). :blink:
