FRIDAY
It's that time of the month, the first Friday and the jobs report. Always anticipated, always ballyhooed, but always lagging despite attempts each month to try and turn it into something it is not. Consumers turn despondent when they fear they are going to lose their job. That sends us into recession long before the actual job losses. The economy starts to recover long before jobs recover. How can that be say some in Congress? They think that the economy cannot recover until jobs recover because consumers won't spend if they don't have a job and thus the economy cannot work its way out of the hole. That is why they believe in paying people to dig and fill holes as some sort of economic stimulus. You get a wage, you spend the wage, the economy recovers.
Putting aside the historical, empirical evidence to the contrary, the hypothesis fails even the common sense test. If the economy does not recover until those without jobs start getting jobs, what is the impetus for the new jobs in the first place? In other words, how are the unemployed going to get jobs UNTIL the economy starts recovering and subsequently CREATES new jobs? That is why the stimulus that history proves works is the stimulus that provides incentives for businesses to invest in their businesses and individuals to create new businesses and thus create new products and services that require new workers. Jobs are created and the unemployed are employed. THEN they have jobs with futures that will grow versus bogus make work such as building Frisbee parks and otherwise creating public 'things' that don't create jobs themselves. How something so simple gets so twisted in the halls of Congress only goes to show how Congress is motivated by personal agendas and power versus what really works for the country.
So, the jobs report will garner interest for those with backward economic understanding (or lack thereof), those seeking to gain political advantage, and basically morons. What is more important to us is that the market has rallied off the lows, held the initial move, and is breaking higher again. That suggests the market anticipates some sort of economic recovery. We don't think it can be that strong given the policies out of Washington, but if the credit issues are getting resolved that at least allows the bleeding to stop and some recovery. Just as in the 1970's, the market can have nice rallies even in the midst of the malaise, running up then selling back down, trading in a range for a long time.
What we are looking for is a negative enough number to knock back some of those stocks that gapped away from us on Thursday as the market gapped up. A nice quick test will give us an entry point, but we also need to be patient and wait for them to come to us and the test to complete and then move in.
There will be items at odds with one another, however, as RIMM reported earnings after hours that jumped it up another 10 points in post-bell trade. We will see how that excitement holds over, and if stocks open higher again it still won't be something you want to chase. Again, we will be patient and let plays come back to us. Now there are always stocks in position to buy, but we have to factor in as well the run and the resistance the indices are at (yet again), as well as the earnings season. The latter can break either way; as seen with RIMM, expectations for this earnings season are so low that if a company can post some pretty solid numbers it can be rewarded. Still, we have a good run to this point, have taken quite a bit of gain, and with that run you wonder just how much more upside stocks can squeeze out on some more good news.
In sum, we will take what the market gives when it arises. If we get leaders that surged pulling back we can move into them. If there are stocks that have set up but have not broken out, i.e. a new wave of leaders setting up, we can buy into them when they move higher as well. Again, we will take what the market gives.
