Unless we get a negative surprise on a piece of economic data that's really out of the ordinary, then it's going to be a subdued week with the Fed meeting right around the corner.

not a total surprise, it is very significant.

Were it not for data services, most carriers would be reporting negative ARPU.

It's a rude interruption of that string of nine straight monthly job gains.

You should never, ever use profanity because it is rude.
