It's really because there's a disconnect between desired skills and individuals' experiences. Naturally, you cannot expect someone who spent 25 years assembling cars to start working in financial risk management software services (in which there are plenty of jobs out there).

What I also see is job descriptions which combine other job descriptions that are now requirements meaning 2 job descriptions of different "areas" into one - how many will even qualify for those?

Are you kidding?

The poster starts these threads all the time, just do a search. They go to bed dreaming of crisis and high oil prices with the enthusiasm of a kid on Christmas Eve.

I'm surprised they were able to contain themselves enough not to make any $500 oil predictions in the near future.

Well looks like DOW over 12k and oil at 105 and change, and another prediction of calamity for bchris02 falls by the wayside.



Stay tuned next week folks, when he hears protesters have been shot in Yemen and we'll be guaranteed a thousand point loss and oil at 120 within two weeks!

Stocks enjoy best week since summer. Interest rates rise -- and gold and oil fall back -- on inflation warnings.

I hope the OP keeps it up, this is pathetically hilarious.

Hey bchris, looks like oil is getting ready for a BIG SELLOFF. Libya speculators that drove the price up are getting nervous and daily volume continues to drop. Bears are moving in to kill this oil rally.

Furthermore, aggregate open interest is falling as well, down 5.1% over the last two weeks. In other words, new money is not coming in to fuel the rally. Rather, falling open interest in a rising market is a typical sign that bears are getting stopped out and are offsetting their shorts.

Bottom line, Nymex prices rising on decreasing volume and open interest is a fundamentally bearish signal. Money is just being churned to prop up prices… perhaps with the end-of-quarter in mind.

Analysts at The Schork Report advise that while markets are calm for the time being, when greed turns back into fear, then that calm will transform into panic for the bulls.

Wrong. Oil is flirting with $107 today, so $110 by the end of this week is very possible. There is no way it won't be at least $120 by the end of April. I am still calling for $150 by Memorial day. The only thing that can, and will bring down prices is the collapse of the US economy which could happen any day now.
