Do the labor numbers look a little bit "too even?" Again!
...which might imply the revenge of the Fudge Factors again... But Hey, Wall Street has been making a good living on "the fudge" for years...so why stop now.
In any event with the "jobs boom" and Greedspan's comments today it looks like interest rates will be going up EVERY FED MEETING in 2006...or until the Bank of China quits supporting US..and the dollar.
Don't worry, be happy, go shopping is the MOTD today. ENJOY!
