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 rose by 10K this week but still managed to come in slightly below consensus expectations (233K vs 235K). Claims have now been below 300K for 138 straight weeks, which is the longest such streak since the early 1970s. If Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria weren’t able to push claims above 300K, it’s hard to imagine what will.
