Overall, another bad jobs report.  The US economy only gained 80k new jobs in versus 100k expected.  Unemployment rate remained unchanged at 8.2%.  Unlike last month, there was a bit of good news today as wages actually increased.  Regardless, mortgages are taking off into the stratosphere as Fannie 3.5s have printed a new high at 105-24 immediately after the data was released.  Stocks are poised to open lower, but not quite triple digits lower.
