NEW Release on Jobless Claims: Processing Delays Cause a Spike in Initial Claims Filings. Therefore, this week's move was due to a one-time exogenous factor that should not affect the overall downward trend that claims have followed for the past few months. The continuing claims level increased from 3.897 mln for the week ending January 8 to 3.991 mln for the week ending January 15.
I don't know the truth behind any of this, but it certainly makes me less confident in the short.

Market sells on worse than expected jobless claims numbers:
ReplyDeleteContinuing Claims rises to 3.99 mln from 3.89 mln
Initial Claims 454K vs 410K
Would have liked to get in this trade a little higher, lets see if 1293 can hold. VWAP currently at 1292.75
ReplyDeleteFYI, this is not my swing short trade. There is not yet confirmation that a top is in. I won't defend this short above 1294...
