It's unemployment day and that is all the market will be watching. It will be very interesting to see how we react to any number at this point. Unemployment is currently at 6.8%, I think it tags 9-10% over time. Futures are off slightly as we wait. I think any rally will be sold aggressively.
Interesting how the sabre rattling has begun with Israel and Iran and oil just keeps going lower.

- I am a former hedge fund manager, broker and capital markets dude who now trades for his own account. I love what I do. I will try to post some stocks and an occasional chart that looks attractive for entry.I will also try to point out the idiocy of conventional wisdom and the lack of value added by the mainstream financial media. These postings should not be viewed as recommendations.

Due to the recent bailout, there has been a huge increase in government grants to prevent foreclosure. Most people don't realize it, but there is more money available than what you think. It's been proven that 9 out of 10 people have no idea how much government money they qualify for.
