The unreported 40%.................from Rico
The long-ternmunemployment rate is now 40.1% @ BLS.
- This is unemployment lasting longer than 27 weeks.
When Barry took office, there were 2.7 million long-term unemployed.
- The number is above 5 million now.
Jobs growth is so weak it barely is enough to keep up with the growth in population.
Oh, yeah!
- Four more years of this!

Final Campaign Weekend
Amazing stuff!
A must read report: "Michael Barone: 'Just about every indicator suggests that Republicans are more enthusiastic about voting -- and about their candidate -- than they were in 2008...'"
Thirty-five thousand estimated in attendance.
GOP enthusiasm is just record-setting.

I was basically putting Nate Silvers on suicide watch earlier, just joking, of course.
But now I'm kinda worried about that guy. Sheesh.

Same old, different day.....................from Rico
[Note: One is quite fortunate in life to have a mentor or mentors, and more fortunate yet to recognize them. A favorite and beloved 'mentor' has requested 24-font, so that will be SOP when I bcc: him on my rantings/musings or however he may characterize what I inflict upon him from time-to-time. This SOP remark segues neatly into today's stating the obvious.]
For years it has been Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the Cartel to paper-raid and smash Gold and Silver on-and-around the NFP release the first Friday of the month.
- Unsurprisingly* with only four days to go to the big election 'beating expectations' was the very transparent order of the day (never mind that the numbers will be quietly revised closer to reality later on, a 'great' headline number was obviously required today), even if the 'longs' had to take a beating.
If it ain't broke...this SOP has worked so well for the Cartel they see no point in 'fixing' it. It will work, until it suddenly doesn't.
- Only then will the 'fixed' game be fixed.
Today's anticipated waterfall raid (a continuation of yesterday's) is just the Cartel's effort to trigger stop-losses and scare the Muppets.
- It has nothing to do with ground-truth or fundamentals.
*I had my calendar marked in advance for Cartel paper-raids yesterday and today, while the 'regulators' at CFTC did too....only their calendar was noted: HawaiIan shirts, sunglasses, free donuts - casual Friday. I think I'll send them a copy of my commodities calendar (Same Sh*t, Different Day).

"Broken and Undone should move anyone who watches it to understand that we are not equipping our warriors with the most important tool of all... The knowledge that what they do is moral, honorable, ethical, just and pure. It is not what they see that unravels the heart... It is the struggle to justify that what they have done is just and unequivocally moral. - NRA LOD Executive Producer, Rick Stewart

Cartel. Raid. Towel......................from Rico
As usual (and as expected), the Cartel once again used the monthly 'jobs report' to orchestrate a paper-raid on precious metals yesterday morning.
- It was also an opportunity to show support for their candidate in next week's election (as BLS just did).
A word to the Cartel and their flying monkeys from yours truly:
- No matter where you stand, no matter how fast or far you run, when it finally hits the fan...as much as possible will be flung in your direction, and you will not possess a towel large enough to wipe it all off.
