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 dropped by 21K this week, falling to 283K from last week's level of 304K and below consensus forecasts for a level of 290K. This marks the third week in the last four that weekly jobless claims have been below 300K after three weeks to start the year where claims were above 300K.
