Longing for the day when credit is given for successfully stearing the economy through a very difficult time
'A series of economic data supported a solid economy, easing fears that perhaps the Federal Reserve is cutting rates aggressively because of the economy slowing.
Weekly jobless claims fell more than expected, pointing to a steady labor market. Durable goods orders for August were unchanged versus economists’ expectations for a decline. And the final reading of second-quarter GDP was unrevised at a strong 3%.
“If there’s a problem in the labor market, it’s not showing up in the weekly jobless claims data. As is always the case, though, the monthly jobs report will play a bigger role in defining market sentiment,” aid Chris Larkin, managing director of trading and investing for E-Trade from Morgan Stanley. “But until there’s evidence to the contrary, numbers like this will likely keep soft-landing hopes alive and well.”

Certainly giving credit to the data has been rewarding the bulls. And skepticism is healthy for stocks -- keeps the market climbing a wall of worry.

Anyone interested in joining a group to pick against the spread for the upcoming NFL and college football season?

Anyone interested in joining a low key, auto draft, fantasy football league?

Let me know and I'll send you the sign up information.

I'm in for the NFL. Thanks!

Maybe this year I will do better since last year I didn't realize until several weeks into the season, it was using the point spread - unlike our Survivor pool.
