It’s the monthly jobs numbers today and they’re not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May. [Trading Tips] Good morning.

From their very first round of predictions, they hit pay dirt. They told their readers to expect “an opportunity of enormous proportions” in nanotechology.
