🙃Have You Seen These 2.7 Million Workers?

Good morning. We're going to need a lot of milk cartons. While the latest jobs report on Friday...

It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Good morning. We're going to need a lot of milk cartons. While the latest jobs report on Friday reported a great headline number, with unemployment still at 3.7 percent, there's only increasing trouble behind the headlines. First, there's been massive growth in part-time jobs. But full-time job openings have plummeted. And there's a growing divergence between the government's Household and Establishment surveys… now reaching a gap of 2.7 million workers. With the massive number of layoffs in big tech in recent weeks, it's possible that the most recent jobs numbers are based not just on real jobs, but on jobs entered onto some government spreadsheet. In any event, caution is still the name of the game. Layoffs are rising. Interest rates are still going up. And the economy is still growing slowly. So don't expect a new bull market, and look for some downside trades that can profit from another swing lower in the market. Now here's the rest of the news: Sponsored Content Receive Free A.I.

Today's TOP TIPS This Proven Strategy Will Keep Investors in the Game For 2023 Some traders are betting the worst is over for markets. That's based on the view that the Fed will start tapering its interest rate hikes. But as long as interest rates are being hiked, they'll continue to weigh on stocks. For investors who don't want to get whipsawed while this plays out, there are a number of investment strategies to focus on instead. The simplest and arguably best is simply to buy and hold dividend-paying stocks in industry-leading companies. » FULL STORY Insider Trading Report: The Howard Hughes Corporation (HHC) Pershing Square Capital Management, a major holder at The Howard Hughes Company (HHC), recently added another 1,560,205 shares.
