Ian: Re: "Only the convoluted thinking of those who are hopelessly fighting the last battle (inflation) are doomed to such thinking."

And only those who fail to listen to the Green Man will be doomed to suffer in the market. It does not matter what you and I think. It only matters what the Green Man thinks. And I bet he is not happy about the numbers today. And he is not happy with the reaction of the stock market.

Re: "And what economic principle causes one to believe that more people working and more people earning more money is bad for business?"

The Green Man principle.

Re: "the workers got 2¢ more than the consensus estimate, 7¢ more than the prior reporting period.

Surely you don't begrudge workers 2¢ / hour.

Or do we have to change your SI handle to Justa Scrooge?"

Thanks Tiny Ian for the wake up call. I will gladly give you some net shares if you would get off my back. And maybe in this economy you can get a job now finally instead of sitting around the dinner table and making us feel sorry for you. But please tell your poor boy stories to the Green Man as he is the ghost of Christmas yet to come. I don't run Federal Reserve policy.
