Economic Journal - Friday, 5/3/2013

(As of 7:10 am PST)
 
It’s all smiles today with most indexes opening to new record highs.  The new jobs figure came in at its highest level since 2008 and revisions from prior months provided an even stronger glimpse of the strength of the recent economic recovery.  Oil is up and gold is down.  The US currency is falling hard against most other currencies with investor risk appetite very high.  Interest rate yields are on the rise.  It looks like a great day for the bulls today amidst very positive economic data.  The only negative is that the need for more economic stimulus is on the wane and markets have become so reliant on easy money policy that there could be market pain as QE3 is rolled back.  But not today!  It’s all systems go!
