Incumbent-killer numbers - Friday jobs number, GDP growth (must >/+3% PA), and deflation (so many applicants for each job that the boss can pay what he wants.).  Expect a sell-off; S&P 500 broke through a support level, so institutions will sell for cash - employee's pensions and other reasons.  Algorithm selling; if a flash crash, machines will shut down which will cause the market to plunge. Meanwhile, Greece has outlawed polls for the next two weeks. Spain becoming a basket case like Greece. Euros at war with each other - WWII again, without tanks.  Romney's solution is his to-do list - sounds like Dagwood Bumstead - while the  president refuses to compromise with the Republicans for the good of the country; "I think his goose is cooked."  Japans's index closing lowest since 1983. By gold and bullets and pray . . .
