| The Saints Get It Done! |

It was a good Super Bowl in my mind. I didn't have a favorite (nor did I have any money on the game). I just enjoyed it for the beauty of the game. Final score = New Orleans Saints = 31 - Indianapolis Colts = 17.

So far it's a pretty good game. It's the end of the first half and the Colts lead the Saints 10-6. It's been a pretty good defensive battle so far, and I'm looking forward to the second half to see what adjustments both teams make. My favorite commercial so far is the Doritos. . . "Keep your hands off my Momma and keep your hands off my Doritos."

| Job Losses Since WWII Are HUGE! |
| February 6, 2010 4:59pm |
|
The number of job losses in the current recession are huge. The labor department is expected to release figures showing that the number jobs lost during the recession are now over eight million. Here's an interesting chart that I found showing the various recessions since World War II.  Many analysts feel the economy might generate one to two million jobs this year. But they feel it will take at least three to four years for the job market to turn around to some sort of normalcy. That means they're suggesting it will be 2014 before there is any significant job growth. Makes me happy I'm part of the Greatest Business on Earth™!

Take a look at the screen shot of the various stock indices below.  NOTE: The information contained in Jim's blog is for educational purposes. Market conditions and commodity and option prices constantly change. Being a successful PAPER TRADER during one time period does not mean that you will make money when you actually invest during a later period. Past Results are not necessarily indicative of Future Results. Trading commodity futures or options involves substantial risk of loss. Your trading decisions should be based on your own particular financial circumstances and trading objectives. Please read the following risk disclosure statement: CFTC RULE 4.41 - HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.
