US Adds 120,000 Jobs (Estimates were 203,000)
The pace of job creation rose far less than expected in March, with the U.S. economy generating 120,000 new positions, a sharp drop from the prior three months' average of 245,000.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The unemployment rate slid to 8.2 percent, according to government data released Friday.
That compares to 227,000 workers added in February, when the unemployment rate was reported at 8.3 percent.
The consensus forecast for March had been for 203,000 total jobs, with the unemployment rate unchanged, according to Thomson Reuters.
The jobs report was released as U.S. stock markets closed for the Good Friday holiday. The U.S. bond market and futures markets were open for part of the day. The last time the jobs report was released on Good Friday was in 2010.

Still holding my FAS puts which was risky over this weekend, let's see how the futures do with the news. They open for 45 minutes of trading today and close at 9:15 A.M.
Hey H3 welcome to ATM great to see you!
Good board over here LB - I will have to poke in here every so often :)
Nice job, LB! Can't wait to see what you find for next week!
Welp, that's 3 for 3 on the ascending triangles! Going to find some more to watch for next week. I'll post them once I get a few! Everyone of these got "the candle" I was looking to see. Not to mention it was a red week in markets.

Yes where oh where is the Boss :) .. Hi to all!
How are you? I've had to do some hard thinking on my AAPL however,
decided NOT TO SELL yet. I'd just be buying and selling, buying and
selling and raking up brokers fees. Forecaster's say 1,000. now ?
It's having no trouble going up, and down making it up the next trading
day. I keep a close eye on it however not much work involved in seeing
the slight fluctuation.
I'm waiting on hearing when the Boss will start the option classes he spoke
about. Maybe June or July when things slack off?
Watching it all. Be back the middle of June full time! S
I am for hire! Send me to a nice little town in europe and I can close that deal in 2 weeks in no time!
How long does it take to sign some papers? He mentioned a 5 bagger I bet he is ironing all those wrinkly bills before they go on his pallet! Lol
Can't he just hire someone to iron his wrinkly cash? Haha
He closing a big real estate deal. He posted it. I hope it has free room a board for his faithful followers.
I agree they can't do smoke and mirrows forever, but they can do it for some time... The credit bubble may not burst as quickly as we might expect as the central bank boozakas still have plenty of ammo... JMHO.
It's because of the jobless report. The data is being manipulated again. For the XXXteenth time in a row the analysts magically revised their estimates and said that jobless claims would increase when they haven't increased in months. They're doing anything that they can to make this market go up, it's just sad that it will fall even harder as they continue to manipulate data like this.
Still holding FAS puts as I believe this thing will be going down pretty hard. Can't do smoke and mirrors forever.

GM gem, thanks!
With CSX being upgraded to overweight @ Atlantic Equities and NSC upgraded by RBC today, I noticed a nice set up on one in my watch list in the same sector.
ARII seems to be setting up nicely for next week. Testing support @ 200MA and not much resistance till around $27 which is cloud and 50MA.
Might be worth a look.
IMO and FWIW.
bought more $CHTP here to average down.
Bought @ $2.18. Now average $2.5.
HEAT, has been insane!
Bought FAS puts this morning. April 21 $102 puts and $99 puts.
I don't think the market will hold it's support levels this time around. I expect a test of the 50MA before the week is over.
LIVE!!!!
Low float day
HEAT RCON LIVE CLNT
I forgot to keep a close eye on these three charts! Looks like 2 of 3 had nice candles to breakout. The third one broke just not too much!
Love this chart pattern!

TLA.V / TPCFF.pk which I think has good odds to double or triple. They make equipment used in oil transportation. Here are reasons I like them:
1. They made $0.025 in the most recent quarter (fiscal Q1'12) and pre-tax earnings of $0.026 in the prior quarter (after tax of $0.050 due to a benefit). They are very cheap relative to those earnings. Also, their cashflow exceeds earnings.
2. They have a rock solid balance sheet with BV of $0.34/share, TBV of $0.30/share, and cash of $0.10/share. Furthermore, they have no debt.
3. They stated the following in the most recent report: “The mobile tanker original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to whom we sell TD80s (our GWR mobile tank level measurement and overfill prevention system) are backlogged in their new tanker fabrication for six to twelve months. This is a trend that has continued over the last year and has resulted in record TD80 sales in fiscal 2011. We have increased our manufacturing capabilities to support this growth.”
4. Their objectives for the year include a number of items. Three of them are to "Increase gross profit and return on sales," "Grow U.S. crude oil market share," and "Increase our manufacturing capacity." They have had a lot of growth in the US over the past year which is part of the reason for their improving situation.
Blood in the streets today! This is ugly!
