kapkomet Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 So... The manufacturing data came out today for May. It's down. HOOORRAY! LET's RALLY THE STOCK MARKET! These people are the most ass-backward people ever. I know, slow down in mfg means that the fed won't have to keep raising rates. But it's just damn funny when people will lose their jobs because the mfg sector is not expanding everyone on Wall $treet thinks it's good news.

FlaSoxxJim Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 on a more micro scale, I found it really amusing to see that Dreamworks SKG stock value dropped sharply yesterday on the news that Madagascar only racked up $70 M in its first weekend. The lesson is that no film should open within a month of a Star Wars installment I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The market rallied smartly today becasue with manufacturing slowing somewhat that raises the possibility that the Fed will be done with its rate tightening cycle sooner rather than later and with that off their backs that gives the market a lot of room to run higher.

Rex Kickass Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 (edited) Then why did it fall after better than expected consumer confidence yesterday? Edited June 1, 2005 by winodj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because inflation pressures would be there if the consumer confidence is higher. I still say it's bass ackwards, timmad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
