Gold did very well as the completely overvalued US$ did a deadcat bounce, ramped by the Fed's three stooges, Dow got to 19999.63, lol, the US trade deficit got ugly & the BS media & Bankster slime hailed the NFP's abysmal job number, focussing instead on the glorious hourly earnings "surge", which is inflationary & gold bullish anyway.
Don't let the facts get in the way of faking it
The hourly boost went to the 17% of elite managers & executives. The 83% got sweet #@&-all. Still 100 million without jobs ... Great economy! US$ is worth every cent
Two great reads on this ... Lol, more waiters in jobs boom as restaurants close down
