<low interest rates over a long period of time do not generate new jobs and only hurt those not engaged in speculation and holding on to their savings>

Speculating in the stock and bond markets right now
and spending my savings would not give me any pleasure.
But that's just me <g>

My forecast, 100k jobs this time
ramping up to 250k a month by summer
then down a bit or flat next fall.

A decade or more of stagflation.
Bond market unwinds.

Still have not been stopped out of my Rydex Juno!
And if I don't get kicked out around $19 this month,
I will sell in two years at $30.

Job report, PPI, CPI - massaged, stats mean nada to market now due to this fact.

It will be a sell the news report! Already priced into market and means nada going forward! With price inflation - whom is gonna higher?

Do you think the media is part of the conspiracy too, or are they just easily duped?

""the US population grows at about 1% a year and as such to keep the percentage of workforce constant to population growth each month the US must add around 200,000 new jobs each month.""

Haim, how do those #'s work when you look at "working population" IOW, adjusted for retirements?
