Morning Audibles 10.8.10

Ok, so here we are... NFP day...

A Hard Job is Good to find (wait, did I get that right)?

Whaddya say, MAE?

What are all supposed to be waiting for again? Oh yeah, If I recollect, it goes something like...

A) If the number comes in hot, the stock market goes up

B) If the number comes in cold, QE is assured, so the stock market goes up

C) If the number comes in "meh", that's considered goldilocks, so the stock market goes up

Of course, we all know it has nothing to do with actual PEOPLE, or JOBS... Just those who profit at the expense of others...

Tell them they need to SUCK IT UP

Let them eat OKRA cake

"Down into the never-ending valley of toil and agony, stretching mile after mile, an inferno of mud-soaked bodies, where the treaders' feet churn clay and straw into the mixture for Pharaoh's bricks, and everywhere the lash of watchful taskmasters, ready to sting the backs of the weary.

"Blades chopping straw... mattocks chopping clay, a ceaseless cycle of unending drudgery. From the mixing feet of treaders to the pouring hands of brick molders, moves the constant stream of mud, the lowly seed of tall cities. Day after day, year after year, century after century, bondage without rest, toil without reward. These are the children of misery, the afflicted, the hopeless, the oppressed." - The Ten Commandments - 1956

Not plussed about the toils of every day slaves, here's what a modern day PHARAOH had to say about the world this morning... (well actually, I'd characterize him more of a DATHAN type, but we'll get to that later)...

Markets: Very Big Multithreaded Software Apps That Crash

Excerpt: "Our stock markets now behave no differently than a giant multithreaded software application."

So, Mr. "Do you want to be right, or make money" "Wall Streeter who Blogs"... assuming you count yourself in the "I want to make money" crowd, I suppose you consider yourself a type who collects small gold coins from PHARAOH to keep an eye on the SLAVES working in the mudpits, and assure the building of Goshen goes on...

Well all I can say is "congratulations" on your promotion from TREADER, to TRADER...

But remember What Moses said to Pharaoh:

"The city is made of bricks. The strong make many, the starving make few, the dead make none."
