Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Jobless claims for the latest week rose to 316K from last week's level of 297K, and they were above the consensus expectations of 290K. Today's reading was also tied for the highest seasonally adjusted weekly reading since 6/6/14. At the surface, today's report was not a good reading, but one week does not make a trend.
