Rick Ackerman joins us back from his recent trip. Today we touch on the the better than expected jobs number and the markets reaction. We all know Rick hates talking about these data points but as the conversation extended to the political opinions there are some interesting tie ins. To wrap it up we look at the move in gold.

Next week we will be back with technical outlooks on specific stocks. Please remember to email us your specific companies.

    Absolutely ridiculous to even think the Feb would entertain one thought to increase interest rates with GDP growing at a measly 1.2%. Used to be raising rates occurred with an overheating economy….this economy can’t even get warm.

      If the jobs report was real the GDP would be 4% instead of the manufactured 1% to prevent havoc in the markets. The real figure is likely negative.

        The nunnery are correct, but they simply do not tell the true story. They tell a different story

    I thnk with the drop in gold price investors believe the reports.
    Investors, having cash to invest probobly see things as ok.
    As Doc was saying the other day, in his end of town things are ok, there are a few areas where things are ok.

    When Trump gets elected he will have the perfect technical candidate to be The Superintendent of Prisons, none other than Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a man who knows what the truth is, if you get my gist. DT

        Hilly and Billy will start their New foundation, Rock pounding at Quinton.

    If Trump and his supporters can launch a campaign whereby there is a paper ballot only no voting machines allowed than he can win by a wide margin.

    I’m waiting for the New Economic Paradigm to be announced.

      It just was laid out on the other editorial. The Sports Memorabilia derivatives explosion is going to take everything down and trigger this New Economic Paradigm

      The future is clearly in PEZ dispensers, porcelain figurines, and Velvet Elvis paintings.
