Yeah, you got me. Total meltdown.

Also: you mad?

Still waiting for the response to your claim that the R's are spinning this thread...but that probably won't happen at the rate you are going

The only ones that are mad in the thread are the ones who are still in shock from Tuesday night's results...

Did this report actually come out yesterday? I'm having a hard time understanding the market's drastic reaction yesterday being attributed to Berneke's expected action and then being down today with this unexpected good news.

Even going to MSN's money page I see this:
Sluggish job market weighs on stocks
The US economy added twice as many jobs as expected in October.

WTF?

Quit a bit of this is in the retail sector, most likely gearing up for the holiday season. I would expect this to continue in November, then start reversing in January.

That reminds me of another reason I'm happy. MSU and Mizzou both lost last weekend, destroying their chances at the BCS game. Thanks for reminding me :thumbsup:

still waiting on your examples of where this 'spin' you referred to in this post: If you want, you can just simply say that you were full of shit and end this charade...

This really begs the question... (don't make me say it)
