It's a very volatile component that should come back in the fist quarter. It's a weak report, but it's not quite as God-awful as the headline numbers make it look.

Yeah, the rate held steady, but all the payroll stuff is extremely weak. To have 357,000 down and 108,000 down back to back is definitely a concern.

I'm not against conspiracy theories as a whole, but they have to be at least somewhat credible. I guess that now that the 'X Files' is off the air you need to have this stuff to fill the void.

This is a very weak number and well below what everyone expected. It's not the kind of report the Fed likes to see, but I think they'll recognize that the economy is already rebounding and raise the federal funds target rate to 4.5 percent.

We had fog, visibility about a quarter of a mile. It's foggy, but it's not pea soup.

We still missed some free throws, but not at the end. It helps to make baskets in the fourth quarter. In this league, you got to make plays in the end.
