Yep. But the darn printing press. Do you know how powerful that thing is? It is driving inflation world wide. Betting against the FED. Bad idea. Too bad they didn't cut the gas prices. Those lay offs. And the bad thing about those seasonally adjusted jobs is the don't spend money and don't pay taxes. 1 million new jobs on paper. Not there in the non seasonally adjusted numbers.

To bad you can't figure out in advance what will move down, when and short it or something like that.

Shorting US Steel is a good idea. That company is going to die some day.

It could go down if they raise interest rates too fast.

Europe is a dead economy in general. All the taxes, high wages and benefits, and regulations make it very difficult for a business to grow and prosper. Venture capital will go elsewhere.

Until Europeans and Japanese start having a lot of babies their economies will remain moribund.

It's as simple as that....except it would be if not for their governments meddling in that too. Way too expensive to raise kids in those places.
