  The news tells me this morning that the jobs data was much worse than expected.

  I swear I read somewhere that they expected 1M more jobs this month to come back/be available then where the actually numbers were.
  
  Or I could have been on drugs and just imagined reading that.
  
  Edit- no drugs today.

  Waco DMA is a peace but we’re pitching and closing more recruitment campaigns then I’ve ever done. Not just bullshit 4 or 5 jobs to fill BS but companies looking to fill 30, 50, even 100+ positions. Majority are in the manufacturing/industrial sects. Companies dropping 12k a month just for recruiting.
  
  Not sure how this relates or even matters to the national numbers but jobs are readily available here.
  
  CSB, I know.

  With the Fed, good news is bad and bad news is good. Makes sense in the crazy world...

  I tried to convince TOF to get plastic surgery to look like her... didn’t go over very well.

  As we? learned last week, not only is the market detached from the economy; it's also detached from the companies it purports to value.
  
  Earnings through the roof? Shares retreat. On good news.
  
  There's an algorithm for that, right?
