Unemployment Claims Drop by 20%

Mr. Mast: My comment was a lament on the plight of the unemployed.

The unemployment data for October and November have been revised upward by 154,000. Most real economists interviewed expect the December report to jump by a similar amount for December alone when it is revised.

Weekly unemployment results are never revised, thats why a 4 wk. MA is used. But the Author himself doesn't know what to make of the figures for the last two weeks, the comments reflected this.

So instead of sticking to the Article, you decided to make negative comments on the Posters themselves. This puts you directly in the camp of the "Negative" Media.

Disagreeing with someone is one thing, ridiculing them is another. You could have disagreed without adding your own innuendos. IMHO
