Nonfarm Payrolls Fell by 467,000 in June

The U.S. Labor Department said this morning that nonfarm payrolls fell by 467,000 in June.  This unexpectedly large drop was quite negative for the market.  If 467,000 more people don’t have jobs then they can’t buy consumer goods.  Consumer spending makes up more than 70% of American economic activity.  If businesses don’t sell consumer goods then they lose money–and have to lay off even more workers.  We are in an ugly and vicious cycle.    The economy is still broken and we need to be cautious with our investments.  Today’s sell off could be the start of another leg down in the stock market.  Now is the time to be net short.
