CNBC got it's first dose of Zuma Dogg today, as he called into CNBC's "Mad Money" to needle Cramer a little about Game Stop stock (that ZD owns).
Keep in mind, the stock was up today, in the worst down market day...BUT IT WAS DOWN THIS WEEK (even though the entire market tanked). BUT ZD ONLY LIKES HIS STOCKS TO GO "UP" -- NEVER DOWN, NOT EVEN ONE PENNY!!!
And I knew Jim would say good things about Game Stock, cause it's a great stock. Meanwhile, as usual, ZD gets off to a combative start. I started my question with, "Except for today...Game Stop had a terrible week...". Which is when Jim cut me off and said, "If you call up .66 cents in the worst down day...". Forcing the Big ZD to cut in to say, "I SAID EXCEPT FOR TODAY". Which caused Jim to show ZD who is boss of the show.
Then, Jim continued to have a little fun at ZD's expense with the next caller.

"Prepare For The Bear": Good Economic News Means Kiss The Feds .5% Cut Goodbye...Hello .25% Cut Only and Goodbye December Rally
Look for a slow day, and a down day on Wall Street. With the price of oil dropping on Monday...oh no...now the Fed will probably only cut by .25% -- which will give back all of that recent December rally over the past couple weeks.
Many people feel, anything less than a .5% Fed cut will trigger recession fears and will scare Wall Street and Santa won't be leaving anything but a devalued lump of coal in your portfolio.
And now that things look just good enough for a .25 cut, instead of the .50 that Wall Street will require for a continued bull market...
I hope you sell as much as possible, take a breather, and if the coast is clear on Tuesday (which it probably will not be), then you buy back in. (But I would have sold Apple at $190, in October, before it dropped to $150 -- 72 hours later, then buy it back at $150 -- and would have been happy selling it again at $194 on Friday. (But I'm a real cowboy!)

New Job Numbers In 45 Minutes: The Market Won't Be Happy, Either Way!
New December Job numbers come out in 45 minutes (8:30am).
If the numbers are bad, it will be the sign of bad economic times ahead -- possibly signaling a trend toward recession. (I do not expect them to be that bad, if they are not actually good. Although I think this is a superficial, shallow number that does not indicate enough -- and I suspect they can be "fudged". )
So if they are bad, although it would be a bad sign for American's, the stock market would actually be HAPPY to see bad job/economic news, because it would lead people to believe Bernakie/Fed will cut rates by .5%, instead of the "given" .25%.
If the job numbers are good, signaling a good economic outlook, then the market probably won't rally, but remain steady -- or slightly down, if anything -- since good economic signs would scare market investors that the Fed may only cut rates by the expected .25%.
So in evaluating the market effects that the job numbers will have today...you have to evaluate not only the TRUE meaning of these numbers from a literal sense...but you must also factor in the "psychology" of market investors.
SUMMARY: Unfortunately, what is good for the market and what is good for the U.S. economy do not necessarily correlate -- and strategyupdate.com feels that these two forces are often times in conflict. (Short term greed versus long term natural process of ying/yang.)

ALERT -- 8:30am JOB REPORT UPDATE: Oh hell yeah!!! The best possible news! The job numbers came in at the perfect "neutral" figure (it came in basically exactly as expected...nothing too much, either way.)
SO THAT PAVES THE WAY TO STILL ALLOW THE FED TO STILL CUT .5%!!! (THE PERFECT JOBS NUMBER FOR THE MARKET, IF NOT FOR THE ECONOMY!!!)
