When The Fed Doesn’t Want Us To Know How Bad It Is

This is what it does. It stops publishing good data, and either substitutes no data, or shitty data.

28 of those ended with a gain from the opening price. Of course one of the losers was the short. The average gain, including the losers, was 2.2%.
