The Real Story Behind the Unemployment Numbers

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 16, 2012

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the U.S. created 243,000 jobs in January 2012, causing the unemployment rate to fall to a level not seen since February 2009: 8.3%. According to Michael Lombardi, lead contributor to popular financial newsletter Profit Confidential, the drop in the unemployment rate was aided significantly by the fact that many Americans have simply given up looking for work.

“Those who have stopped looking for work are removed from the job numbers,” says Lombardi.

Lombardi points out that U6, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is a broader measure of the unemployment rate because it takes into account discouraged people as well as those working part-time who want full-time work.

“The U6, also more commonly known as the underemployment rate, stands at 15.1%, about the same as December,” says Lombardi.

The reason Lombardi is not cheering with the rest of the media at the new jobs number is that he believes they are looking at the wrong job number. Lombardi points out that if you added back the people that have given up looking for work in America and the people who want full-time jobs, the underemployment rate really didn’t change in January.

“The government is still spending like mad; the Fed has said it will keep interest rates at zero until the end of 2014, and we still can’t create real jobs,” says Lombardi.

Profit Confidential, which has been published for over a decade now, has been widely recognized as predicting five major economic events over the past 10 years. In 2002, Profit Confidential started advising its readers to buy gold-related investments when gold traded under $ 300 an ounce. In 2006, it “begged” its readers to get out of the housing market… before it plunged.

Profit Confidential was among the first (back in late 2006) to predict that the U.S. economy would be in a recession by late 2007. The daily e-letter correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009. And Profit Confidential turned bullish on stocks in March of 2009 and rode the bear market rally from a Dow Jones Industrial Average of 6,440 on March 9, 2009, to 12,876 on May 2, 2011, a gain of 99%.

Stock Market Takes A Rest AbsoluteWealth.com

Austin, TX (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

John Carter’s “Time for a Rest” in the recent Absolute Wealth newsletter predicts it’s time for the stock market to take a rest. There has been an unprecedented “liquidity crisis” rally up to the S&P 500 1,350 level, explains the recent Absolute Wealth newsletter.

There are stocks, explains the recent Absolute Wealth newsletter, that have added over $ 25 billion in market cap in just the last few weeks alone, there is a sea of cash swirling around out there thanks to Quantitative Easing. Banks find it too risky to lend all that money they are sitting on, adds the Absolute Wealth newsletter.

This market has fired off multiple technical signals for a short term top, reveals the recent Absolute Wealth newsletter, and these recent highs could hold over the next 4 weeks of trading, which means a couple of things. First, be patient by sitting on the sidelines waiting to get in, because now is not the time advises the recent Absolute Wealth newsletter. Buying in now would be a classic case of buying the top, which is what the “crowds” tend to do, adds the newsletter, and happens when the emotional pain of “leaving money on the table” becomes too great to resist.

It triggers an impulse in the brain to “dive in” and be a part of the move, explains the recent Absolute Wealth newsletter, at exactly the wrong time. The emotional part of the brain is the absolute worst judge of when to get in and out of stocks, advises the newsletter, in fact, do the exact opposite of what emotions say to be well ahead on investments.

So what to do now, with this current market, is the question in every one’s mind, reveals the current Absolute Wealth newsletter. There are a lot of different signals coming together this week to call an intermediate term top in this market, explains the recent newsletter by Absolute Wealth, and there are two main plays that can be made. Visit the AbsoluteWealth.com website, and read the rest of the “Time for a Rest” by John Carter article to find out what plays can be made.

More Stock Market Last Week Press Releases

Fx Trading

Hong Kong (PRWEB) February 01, 2012

InvestTechFX, the leader in the online forex ECN(electronic communication network) market commented on the breaking news that the United States joined the European Union earlier last week in launching an economic war against Iran to force it to abandon a suspected nuclear weapons program by imposing an embargo on Iranian oil exports and freezing assets of its central bank, EU members hope to cut so deeply into government revenues Tehran will agree to accept international safeguards on its nuclear program. However the sanctions themselves may be the penultimate step before a possible military attack. Western leaders such as the French president have insisted stiff economic sanctions are necessary to avert a possible war with Iran.

InvestTechFX, who provides the 0.5 fixed trading, also mentioned that the EU is Iran’s second-largest oil customer, after China, and buys up to 20% of its oil. India has also followed suit along with China and not cutting its oil imports, especially when India imports 12% and cannot do without Iran’s substantial oil inventory which they may purchasing at a discounted rate now that the EU and USA have imposed these sanctions.

If other U.S. allies, such as Japan and South Korea, follow suit, the sanctions imposed Monday could hit more than a third of Iran’s crude oil exports, which account for 80% of the government’s operating revenue.

InvestTechFX, a non dealing desk (NDD) online forex firm did highly indicate that the mere threat of sanctions in recent weeks has probability of sending the price of oil to $ 150.00 per barrrel which is enough to send Iran’s economy into turmoil, squeezing its banks and sending the Rial plunging to its lowest level yet against the U.S. dollar, as frightened Iranians rushed to move their life savings into gold and online foreign currency trading.

InvestTechFX, the leader of the ECN and NDD also indicates that through harsh sanctions against Iran could rebound against European countries already struggling with their own economic crises. However, European headquartered oil firms such as France’s Total and Royal Dutch Shell have already abandoned Iranian oil purchases or in the process of doing so

Moreover, the head of InvestTechFX VIP Managed Accounts Department suggests that China and Russia will become the winners out of this negotiation and United States will be the biggest losers. And being pretty much Iran’s remaining customer, Beijing will be able to negotiate a reduced price. Saudi Arabia, the largest exporter of crude oil may increase the output to the west to avoid a price spike which may rise to 20 to 30 percent if Iran were to retaliate by halting its exports altogether.

As a result of this, InvestTechFX, the leader of the forex exchange with ten years experience in the forex market speculates a possible nuclear attack based on the current situation with Iran, EU and USA which is of the utmost importance since they are the world’s second largest oil provider and the effect on all online forex trading commodities stocks and financial markets will be prominent to traders alike.

InvestTechFX, the leading provider of 0.5 Fixed PIP spread announced today that will continue to provide oil trading on a low spread no matter what the outcome of this turbulent situation.

that the company will be expanding into energy CFDs, and specifically oil trades. InvestTechFX, do all of the clearing with the leading clearing house’s will provide bid and ask quotes from one of the major liquidity providers. The provider that has been established for many years which provides service for worldwide online forex traders for many years and guarantees the integrity of all its trades serves as an independent counterparty. InvestTechFX offers the lowest spread on the market through the same widely used premium MetaTrader4 platform. InvestTechFX offers forec, CFDs and Indexes that will be traded just as easily and efficiently as any forex currency exchange provides and this is due to the fact that the clearing department has just begun offering the ability to execute oil trading. InvestTechFX also offers groundbreaking promotions and low risk and highly profitable online forex managed accounts.

IBISWorld Market Research

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 15, 2012

The Fitness DVD Production industry remained fit in the past five years as Americans opted to work out with the cheaper fitness programs offered by DVDs during the recession. According to government agency Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly one-third of Americans that visited a healthcare professional in 2010 were advised to exercise. As a result of a booming market for workout regimens, IBISWorld industry analyst Agata Kaczanowska estimates that industry demand and profit are expanding. Also, IBISWorld estimates that fitness DVD production revenue climbed at an 11.2% annualized pace in the five years to 2012, including a 12.6% jump in 2012 to $ 264.5 million.

Despite strong growth, companies in the Fitness DVD Production industry are shifting their focus as competition from other media erodes the potential growth for physical products, says Kaczanowska. Two of the three major companies, Gaiam and Lionsgate, already offer streaming fitness videos to consumers. Although electronic publication is forecast to expand rapidly in the next five years, IBISWorld expects that most fitness videos will continue to be purchased in physical format (the third largest major player Beachbody still creates videos exclusively for DVD). This trend is expected to be similar to the transition from VHS to DVD, which was slower for fitness videos than mainstream media because consumers were slower to upgrade their workout technologies than their main entertainment consoles.

Currently, market share concentration is ranked as high, with the top four companies controlling a significant share of the industry. In the next five years, concentration is expected to lessen and the number of companies in the industry is expected to expand. As the numbers of companies and DVDs grow, competition is expected to escalate and slow revenue growth. Keeping the industry in its upward trend, though, are increasing disposable income, an expanding market for fitness workouts and consumers’ limited leisure time for lengthier fitness classes and gym workouts as they return to the workforce.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) February 13, 2012

The cover of Barron’s this past weekend proclaimed ‘Dow 15,000’, and ‘Dow 17,000 is a 50/50 bet’. The Top Gun Options trading team believes this prediction is fundamentally flawed and explored both sides of this bold prediction to help investors of all levels make an informed choice about where the market is heading.

Follow this link to see the trade that made over $ 1500 or 67% in under 2 days, and Top Gun Options new bearish trade on the SPY:

Top Gun Options Advanced Trade Alert

Written by Gene Epstein, the article titled ‘Enter the Bull’ often quotes the well-known Wharton School finance professor and author of Stocks for the Long Run Jeremy Siegel.

Their main argument is that history is on their side.

The Barron’s article stated “Based on cyclical patterns of market history, the odds are better than two chances in three that the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) will reach 15,000 or higher over the next two years. Based on the same cyclical patterns, there’s about a 50-50 chances that the Dow could hit 17,000 or more.”

Citing Mr. Siegel’s stock market performance data dating back to 1871, the market reacts in a cyclical manner, known as the ‘rubber band’ cycle of expansion and rapid collapse. The stock market saw healthy double digits returns last year but was muted by domestic and European issues.

Top Gun Options looks at a wide range of market data to gather intelligence. The founder and CEO of Top Gun Options, Matthew ‘Whiz’ Buckley, said “Barron’s needed to roll out the worn disclaimer of past performance is not an indicator of future results.”

To see a bearish trade on SPY click here: http://topgunoptions.com/advanced-alert/

Buckley continued, “Greece will most likely fail in its austerity efforts, as will other European nations like Italy who are accustomed to living the high life – bloated civil services with equally under-worked and bloated workers and pension plans. These sovereign defaults will be followed by the United State’s own Greece and Italy – California and Illinois”. Buckley believes that with their bloated budgets (the state of CA is over $ 25B in the red) and the federal government will be ‘forced’ to bail these sates out. Buckley summarized, “Seems ‘fair’ right? States like FL who have no state tax, compared to CA’s 10% ‘right off the top of your paycheck tax’, do not have issues like CA. The Golden State spends over $ 12.5B in benefits for illegal immigrant services. That’s nearly $ 1500 per legal resident in the state, including children. Seems only ‘fair’ that the other 48 states and their taxpayers, each with their own issues, bail out these states before they go bankrupt right?”

Top Gun Options believes Mr. Siegel’s hypothesis does not take into account the unemployment and housing issues which are forecast by the government and independent sources such as the National Association of Realtors to remain high. Based on these sources, the Top Gun Options trading team believes unemployment will remain above 8%, which was not supposed to occur according to the Obama administration based on bailouts and QE 1 and QE 2 (quantitative easing). Rising foreclosures will remain clouds on the market horizon, Buckley believes.

Top Gun Options predicts that the federal debt situation will worsen. Buckley said “Bleeding the DoD *Department of Defense) budget down to rubber bands and popsicle sticks won’t fix the problem while we pay for 99 weeks of unemployment insurance. Give the unemployed computer training, health care and a sense of self by having them serve their country instead of the other way around.”

According to the Wall Street Journal ‘Obamacare’ will devastate small businesses. Companies are flush with cash but not hiring because they don’t know if they’ll be the next target of a Washington regulation or law. The Catholic Church got blindsided last week with Obamacare edicts and the contraception mandate but according to the Journal the Obama administration retreated last Friday, while Catholic bishops remained skeptical. “By what authority does the President of the United States seek to impose this immoral policy?” Bishop Thomas J. Tobin of Providence, R.I., asked in a statement. “This is the United States, not North Korea.”

Buckley, a former naval aviator with 44 combat sorties over iraq believe that ‘Overseas, Israel will attack Iran because the United States has become the Barney Fife of the world. ‘Stop! Or we’ll say Stop again!’. We’re going to wake up one day to news of an Israeli strike and oil will go to more than $ 200 a barrel as the Middle East explodes and Israel endures daily attacks, and Assad, shifting attention away from his domestic troubles, will also attack Israel.”

Top Gun Options shows investors of all levels that there are 2 sides to every financial hypothesis, especially in investing, and investors need to decide on their own what they believe is right.

According to the Financial Times there are additional domestic and international concerns to be aware off before investors go all in thinking Mr. Siegel’s article in Barron’s is correct. According to Mr. Siegel markets histrionically tend to go up over time. In the interim investors can potentially profit from the resulting volatility in the market.

Top Gun Options placed a great Advanced options trade on Thursday that made over $ 1500 in less than 2 days, with the potential to make another $ 3100. It was a bullish trade on volatility (VXX), meaning the market would retreat and volatility would go up – they tend to have an inverse relationship. Follow this link to see the trade and see their next trade on the SPDR S&P 500 (SPY): http://topgunoptions.com/advanced-alert/

Top Gun Options believes the market has had a decent run over the past 5 weeks and is going to take a breather, especially as February 15th approaches. According to the Wall Street Journal this is the deadline Eurozone officials have placed on Greece to cut an additional $ 428.6M in debt or face the potential of a default on March 20th. February 15th is also the day important Eurozone economic numbers are reported.

Doug Robertson, Advanced Top Gun Options trader and owner of Blue Water Analytics in Miami, who placed the winning VXX trade last week and placed the new bear call spread on SPY in the Advanced Model Portfolio believes that we’re in for more trouble. “No one can wave a magic wand and make these issues go away. So as the market swings in either direction, we plan to profit from it”.
