Wait wait wait....
So if the jobs report tomorrow is good
That means too much inflation and consumer spending
So the Fed will hike rates

If the jobs report is bad
Then the Fed might take some pressure off of raising rates

Soo.... the market won't react at all no matter what it says?

Because every transaction is a buy order and a sell order? Sometimes in /smg/ I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Is that like a store or something?

SIGA is a highly manipulated stock, and will remain so until the company blows up or gets bought out.

Bear or bull, don't buy options. and I would highly suggest not going short.

You are two decades behind modern financial systems. Things are much less sinister, but also much more dire than you're thinking.

Please go research what a repo contract is, then come back to this thread and apologize.

Securitization of assets and derivatives thereof, both of which can be used as collateral, are the primary source of monetary expansion. Combined, these have an exponential effect similar to fractional reserve effects, but these transactions are hidden from the common pleb. That's why it looks like money appears out of nowhere. It doesn't, it's all just happening way over your head with transactions that occur at an amazingly fast rate through two particular market making institutions.

tl;dr -- credit markets are on a knife's edge all day every day. Think Men In Black -- the world is about to end all of the time, and the only way people go about their lives is that they don't know about it.
