  1. None of these numbers out of Washington can be believed! All they do is lie. In a couple weeks these numbers will be revised down!

    • Well in this MOPE to infinity world, I think we can rest assured that even with the MSM publicly expressing disappointment then the truth is 157,000 is still way too far to the upside. 7.9% way too low on the downside and Wednesdays -0.1% fall in 4Q GDP another complete fairy tale.

      We are on the right course of action….keep on stackin :-)

    • throw a dart at a board and pick todays number…

  2. Oh well, was hoping for a buying op. Not today.

  3. I keep seeing the term, MOPE. What is MOPE?

    • @RocketsRedGlare    M.O.P.E. is an acronym used by Jim Sinclair.  It stands for Management Of Economic Perspectives i.e. jawboning, statistical manipulation, etc, anything to make you think things are better than they really are.  It’s part of the Fed’s toolkit.

  4. @Mammoth: Yup, I agree. What’s down is up & what’s up is down. It has been so long since they spoke the truth they don’t even know what it is.

  5. @UglyDog: Thx, I searched for that and couldn’t find anything.

  6. Speaking of definitions, what is TPTB? Thanks

  7. What does ХУЯ mean?
    It is a vulgar term for ‘D!ck’ in Russian.
    Never mind…
