Summary

*monthly jobs data for Sept':  142k job gains, headline rate, falls to 7.2%. The gains are a clear 40k shy of what the market was looking for.
--

So...a lousy jobs number, but hey, that means QE will just continue longer...which is bullish, right?

*notable movers; NFLX +$30 @ 385 (although that is $10 below the AH high),   APPL +6 @ 527


9.33am.. after an opening bell that seemed to last hours...sp'1750s.

So...the top callers will be out in force across today/tomorrow.

ZERO reason why the market will see a multi-month top at this level.
