   Markets are up but I’m 90% sure it’s a dead cat bounce.

   You see, on Thursday, we’re going to get more data on jobless claims. And it’s likely to confirm previous unemployment data.

     @gearhead There’s extreme fear on the stock market right now, and what’s driving that fear is that the Fed is too slow in lowering interest rates to counter rising unemployment.

     So anything that bolsters the notion that unemployment is rising will drive up fear.
