Will jobs report keep boosting stocks?

Its not going to last because of where the number are coming from; the Obama administration.

Just about every day there is a story about this company or that company that's either in financial trouble and is going to lay off or are already laying off because they are in bankruptcy.

US postal service postponed laying off a 128,000 workers until  May.

American Air lines is laying of f 15,000 workers.

Sears/Kmart closing stores to save the company; layoffs are beginning.

Boeing and a host of other manufactures have already announced plans to lay off workers this year.

A number of national retailer like Best Buys, Rite Aid are on the verge of going belly up.  That means more stores closing and lay offs.

Yea, it would be great if we were in recovery, but we're supposed to believe that we are because Obama or his administration says it.  Not in your life time..

Sustainable Jobs Initiative - We in the USA set many: quality, safety, health, environment and wage standards for various reasons. We can not set all these regulations and requirements and not expect that thousands of US American factories, millions of US American jobs, billions of US American dollars, and now the interest and obligation on trillions of US American debt would not be exported in the name of Free Trade. We do not need fewer regulations. We only need Fair Free Trade, a level playing field for the US American worker/producer to compete on for the USA market. Fair Free Trade! (Not Balanced Trade - Exporting a billion dollars of raw materials and importing a billion dollars of “Made In China” consumer goods does not return jobs to US Americans.) Fair Free Trade, where all imports to any given market must meet at least ALL minimum production/providing​ standards of: quality, safety, health, environment, and wages of the importing country, would bring factories, and sustainable jobs back to the USA. It would put money in the hands of our working domestic consumers, and directly into the hands of working foreign consumers that could then buy more “Made In The USA” products. Go to: manifestry > Trade

 think of how revlon and 5th avenue will do once the ladies over there can shed those burkas and veils when they want.

The U.S. is due to give Egypt $1.3 billion in military assistance and $250 million in economic aid in 2012.

 so vonster, just curious...

"When do we get back to at least the all-time Bush high of 14,700 in 2007?"

why fail to mention that by the time w bush left office he had the dow down to 8,000 and the world on the brink of financial armageddon?  have you forgotten?

check out the following to see just where those failed policies got him in the history books:

i mean let's be honest and tell the whole story .... high spending and low taxes (supported by BOTH PARTIES) ruined our country.

Ok toyota, I'll try to interpret the mind of the mentally inferior (you) to dig out any logic from your statement.

"Yeh right around that time  Bush and his cronies were plotting on how  to steal  all the money"  Bush and his cronies plotting to steal all that money, 2007, nope doesn't ring a bell.  Are you from Prison Planet or somewhere that interprets the housing decline of 07 as "stolen money from the stock market".   Hard to follow someone as abjectly stupid as you.

".. Why do you think it got so high?   So they could steal it"

My, we are stupid aren't we.  They (Bush) "let the market get high",  "so they could steal it"  the market.

Please, please neanderthal, desist from commenting on a Finance board.  This is above your paygrade.  Limit yourself to trying to count up your order at Taco Bell to ensure you have enough ones in your wallet to cover it.

....can we say TARP...Remember TARP was the Bush bail-out of October 2008.   Yeh, stole the money...

Let's see, TARP stole the money from the market, through a bailout...fascinatin​g insights.  Won't you strongly consider checking yourself into a nursing home perhaps in your 40s instead of later on, I think you need it.  Really.

Stocks are already higher then they've been in years...Could it be because we have an intelligent President now who knows how to run a country....Thank you Obama for being you.

Southwest Airlines/Careers is hiring in Dallas, Rhode Island and Maryland...check it out Democrats....Republi​cans need not apply...

We're still 2000 below where we were 5 years ago.  Which is pretty crappy.   We do have an intelligent president but one who is convinced in failed leftwing big government policies, unlike Clinton.  The results are the slowest recovery since the Great Depression.   We still have almost 4% more unemployment than we did at the start of the recession.   We should never try this failed idea that a lot of government spending through various bad ideas for projects is the way to go in a recession.   What a failure.

Oh Southwest is hiring.   There's evidence of good govt policy.   Tax cuts under Reagan led to more jobs in one month of his 3rd year in office September 1983, than have been created in the last 6 months combined.   With a much smaller population back then.   Pathetic.

Naw, that fuzzy math,  jobs report wont last long....

First time Anyone brings up that over used slang, Greek debt woes..! WOW

Its the signal to sell and sell fast...lol
