The Jobs report came in hot. Futures are droppings.

The 2024 slide continues.
Tech has been wrecked 5 percent this week.

I'm glad I pulled some money to the sidelines. Not a ton but a decent chunk to deploy if it continues.

Prolly to be revised sharply downward in a future report.

The tech-heavy NASDAQ 100 Index is down 3.2% this week.
Why exaggerate?

I have no idea what "they" are trying to do. In the last couple of years it just seems like every report gets revised downward at a later date.

Read the article. Revised October & November job numbers downward

Nasdaq was up so big last year that I knew that there were a lot of people with one finger on the sell button just waiting for the tax year to flip.
A no brainer that tech would sell off this week, the only question is how far.
Futures are starting to recover some now.
Daq no longer down 100.

Well done.
You're the only one that caught that.
Well done.

Jobs report came in hot all of 2023. S&P was up 24% in 2023.

When I checked last month the previous two month had been revised UP

Yep. Tax selling is going on now.
As for the jobs report, it’s not totally out of line and we should expect to see some surprises along the way (where?)
Imo, rates are going to be a big driver. I don’t see that rates will be dropping at all in the first half of this year. I’m certainly expecting some rate drops by the 4th quarter albeit small
And the market is up on the jobs report

Good call
Well, since you're trying to be a smart arse I guess that I should let you know that I shorted the market last week with SQQQ.
Got in at $13.15 and got out this morning at $15.10.
So actually it was a good call, I just didn't want to brag while other people are losing money.
Have a nice weekend.

This.
Continued lower energy costs and continued increases in job creation (although not blistering, still positive) by themselves creates an environment for continued inflation stickiness. If the Fed lowers rates in such a scenario, it risks pumping inflation back up.

Damn dude, bring those hot tips here beforehand. I don’t recall your post shorting things before they went down.

10 of the last 11 months revised downwards is what I saw. No sense arguing. The numbers are what they are and people can see for themselves.

IIRC, the household survey is starting to catch up. The argument in much of 2022 was that BLS numbers were way high and household survey was much lower, but I believe that trend has started to reverse. I’ll check later and see if I can find some numbers on it.
