The market was doing so well until the ADP job report came out on Wednesday. Then all of a sudden, a decline of 270 points on the Dow! I know, the report sucked with 673,000 reasons (lost jobs), but hey, we knew the economy would suck anyway right?
The government will release the non-farm payrolls report today, and it will be mighty hard for the data to suggest that its even worst than people think. So as a result, the report can either:
- suck just as much as the ADP report
- surprises people on the upside
Potentially a good thing! Not too bad huh?
Yesterday, the news that lawmakers have reached a deal with Citigroup to let bankruptcy judges alter home loans is certain well received. I can’t see how this is good news for banks though but hey, it’s good for the economy!
Have a great rest of the week and talk to you again next week!
