The Morning Look

Market Update:

Stock futures are quiet ahead of Friday’s open as the market waits for the always fun (and fake) jobs report.

Gary’s Thoughts: Blah fake job’s number. Another half million people leave workforce…thus unemployment number at 4.7%. Tired of talking Fed. Just remember, for ever, bad news is good news for markets as central banks continue to up the ante.
