ROFL: 5.5%

The Government stats are so corrupt and fucktarded, they’re forgetting their own lies. How the fuck does the unemployment rate jump to 5.5%, yet only report a loss of 49,000 jobs?

Truly amazing.

Nonetheless, people are hardcore out of work. Apparently, the Great Depression, part II, is back on the table.

In other news, oil has begun to take on the trading characteristics of an equity, up more than $9 in two days. Did that fucker just report better than expected earnings or a 3:1 stock split? Maybe the FDA approved “oil” as a safe way to defeat cancer? One teaspoon of oil per day, and your cancer goes away.

As you can see, long energy/short everything else is still the best trade out there.

    The truly amazing thing is the Great Depression job numbers and the futures and stocks tepid reaction to them pre market. Quite amazing considering the fucktarded highs these indexes just don’t want to let go of. Trading with the bears has been truly a mind-numbing experience to say the least.

    Too old to be hired by a law firm (unless I want to represent rapists, murderers, etc. with PD office) so I am going to apply to be a costumed character at Disney World this weekend. Wish me luck and if you come to Disney World say hello to Dale of Chip n Dale (that’s who I want to be).

    I was starting to miss the new highs every day in oil, for a minute I forgot the sun came up. And to think I was stopped out of gay qid yesterday, fuck by 1 penny.

    Caddy, there are people who like having an officer of the court hanging around just in case they get into a he said she said with the lowest ranked of the officers of the court. You could get a twenty four hour gig just hanging around as a potential corroborating witness of high power.

    Someone please explain this to me.
    Unemployment jumps from 5% to 5.5% on a loss of 49,000.
    In other words the entire US workforce is 9.8 million people. This makes no sense at all.

    CAP, the 49,000 is the change in unemployment from last month. It’s not a running total.

    USO broke new 52w high. Natty gas is on fire. Looks like I might break my AAA-meeting truce and get myself a beer before 10.

    Rogers is right. He is the world’s worst market timer.

    What a crock of shit CNBC is.

    They’re trying to excuse the 5.5%, due to a sharp increase in “teenagers” looking for work.

    PLEASE!

    The data seasonally adjusts, yet they think we are all stupid enough to believe, out of nowhere, these magic teenagers got out of school a month early this year?

    I am a complete dick.

    My entire job at CNBC is to interrupt guests with my stupid attempts at humor, and make idiot right-wing comments which make no sense.

    Does my hair look blow-dried enough? I want it to look wind swept in the studio as if there is a breeze in here.

    No really. I can’t find a job. Well, there are lots of jobs, just none that I would stoop to. I mean, like, I am going to Vanderbilt this year, I just won’t do food service. Isn’t that why we import all those dirty brown people?

    Anyway, I’ll just take my handout. Where’s the Abercrombie soup line. I heard the portions are smaller there, so everyone looks all thin and hot and shit.

    Rick Santelli is a fucking genius.

    Or just a few ticks smarter than the average bear.

    Either way, he’s got it nailed.

    Fuck bubble & bullshit.

    Supply-demand is driving black gold (at least for the next minute or 2)

    Have you heard of peak oil? Well, soon to be peak monster energy soda at the chimps house.

    If things are so bad sit on cash, or short why are you complaining enjoy the ride down. If you do not feel you have the courage to short then wait for the high oil prices to hit consumers or OPEC or china’s subsidized oil. Maybe next time we should ask Israel to stop giving statements. While the Iranians were talking no one is listening, when the people in Israel talk all hell breaks loose.

    Morgan Stanley now owns so many oil futures that they are officially a component of the XLE not the XLF.
