As long as it isn’t the other way around :-)
But is it denominated in Bitcoin or Wampum beads?
--and probably not much else. Americans love to work and create wealth, and most work is done for corporations --total value of U.S. corps has been doubling every decade for hundreds of years yet there are still people who say it's all going back to the way is was when --1800?
Yup. It’s a shame, because my buddy is a naturally thrifty person. He’s on the county commission (we call them the “Police Jury” here in Louisiana), and is as thrifty with the public’s money as with his.
Had he a lifetime ago put his savings into an S&P index fund instead of into CD’s, he would be a multimillionaire now.
But that time is past, and he’ll never get it back.
LOL
No kidding.
Love ‘em!
Got to tell the admin —w/ this kind of merchandising we could skip the next freepathon!
Good morning team! "Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow Jones industrial average each rolled 1.8% higher" all in higher volume as IBD changes the flag to 'uptrend'. Meanwhile metals were only off a bit holding on to a base that started last Halloween. Futures right now see profit taking all around w/ stock indexes off -0.09%, metals -0.22%. Labor-report-day today an hour before opening:
Nonfarm Payrolls
Nonfarm Private Payrolls
Unemployment Rate
Hourly Earnings
Average Workweek
Wholesale Inventories
fwiw:
Jobs Friday!
FactSet consensus +243K NFP, +225K private, manufacturing +12K, U3 5.8%
Beat:
+252K
5.6%
Wage growth lackluster (+1.7% annual, December -0.25)
Nov revised UP to +353K
--show while the number of employed increased 111,000, the population increased 183,000 and the labor force shrank 456,000. Figures don't lie but liars figure; we may be better off a tad but we're still far worse off than we once were and where we should be by now.
ah —you’re way ahead of me...
