Whisper jobs number was 50,000 with a lot of groups, so even adjusting for the expected future reduction, today’s jobs report was still ok.

Today: Stocks up, bonds down, dollar down, international ETFs way up. Looks like capital is still migrating offshore, but there is some risk taking today.

I think this is what a good day in the market may look like going forward, which is really not that good.
