That 280,000 number is strong.

Will it push stocks up today?

no, down.

too strong means fed tightens, the market just lost its free heroin, hammer down. watch for 2nd hammer fed speach this afternoon, see third hammer opec today also. what is the fourth hammer? greece, putin, obamacare ruling, what?

get out. now. pull it. the insiders knew, it was obvious by yesterdays sell. bail bail bail. where is the the #4 hammer? someone gonna get hit hard, probably the little guy. again. the market is a social construct first, then it submits to the technicals.

The Obama Economy Sets A New Record: 63rd Consecutive Month of Private Sector Job Growth

That's all well and good but there are over 92 MILLION folks not working and not counted. How many was there at the end of 2008?

Someone please explain....estimates posted by Tom earlier was:
"Briefing.com's consensus estimates are looking for +225,000 and 5.4%."
So how could the number exceed by so much and still report a HIGHER unemployment %?!

And if it DOES mean that the number will be revised DOWN (say to 212K for instance ), does that mean that I win too?!

just wonderin'.....
