A combination of job gains and a shrinking labor force have lowered the unemployment rate from a peak of 10 percent in October 2009.
The decrease in labor force participation partly reflects the aging of the U.S. population, but Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen has argued it is also due to discouraged job seekers

The economy must fail crowd chimes in
From earlier this year:
The real buying opportunity won't come until the Dow is under 9,500. Expect the serious slide to start around June, 2014 and continue, going below 10,000 in October, 2014 with a brief pause until after the election. Hillary's inevitable election will cause a short upward blip which might delay the inevitable until her first business-killing orgy in late January, 2015.
Didn't know we had a Presidential election this year....did you?
I win !!!!
I had a bet that Randall couldn't go two posts in a row without the word "Nazi".
Thanks dood, I knew I could count on you to bring Godwin to the stark mock-it.
When QE stops pumping billions of dollars into the stock market in October the bottom will fall out of it. things are going to take a turn for the surreal VERY shortly.
Economists have been warning about this for the last 4 years. Now, it is nearly upon us.
Just in time for the mid terms.

QE has purchased mortgage backed securities and treasury bills. Neither of which make up a significant portion of the stock market.
The only mention of ending QE3 in October was from Richard Fisher. And he merely said that he'd be in favor of it. The FOMC has made no such decision. Instead, they've been scaling down QE3 by about $10 billion ever meeting, which occurs about every 6 weeks. On that time line, QE3 will continue until after the midterms.
QE3 has already been gradually scaled down since demember of last year, cut from 85 billion a month in treasury and mortgage backed bonds......to 45 billion. And the stock market has continued its upward trend. If QE3 purchases of treasuries and mortgage backed bonds was what was fueling the stock market ascent, this dramatic reduction in QE3 funds should have had a devasting effect on the stock market.
It didn't. Your 'cause' doesn't produce your assumed 'effect'.

It's not appropriate to take advantage of the mentally challenged.

13% is the average. Anytime the market has an extended run and breaks an all time high, it's time to be a bit conservative with your investments. However, trying to catch tops and bottoms is a fool's errand.Don't get too excited about the market.
We are due for a correction and the longer it takes the bigger it will be. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw at minimum a 12-15% drop in the near future.
So watch it like a hawk and protect your gains.

Conservatives are invested in America failing just so they can blame Obama.

I 'watch' it every day.
Comes with the territory.
And those kind of corrections only come when there is really bad news.

People seem to have short memories.
Conservatives closed down government and impeached Clinton.
And when in power? The cut taxes and get rid of regulations. Generally? That leads to crashes and bail outs.
