U.S. equity markets zipped higher Friday after a round of weak jobs data inspired hopes the Fed may take more time to boost rates and cut its bond-purchasing program.

The headline pretty much says it all, Wall Street is happy because today's numbers stink enough to keep the fake money flowing.

This is bizarre. Wall Street is totally out of sync with what’s best for US citizens.

Wall St. is decoupled from Main St. Anything that they think will force the FED to keep pumping QE into their veins will cause the market to go up, up, up. When this finally comes to its inevitable end, Main St. will be in complete wreckage and Wall St. will see the mother of all asset bubbles implode.
The FED is boxed in, either the Wall St. junkies collapse with no QE injections or they eventually remove the dollar as the world reserve currency and then it is really game over.

So far today, the DOW has been see-sawing in about a 90-point range—Basically trading sideways.

Nothing definitive.

After five years you still have to ask?

Yes, and then when it all tanks they will be screaming for a bailout!
