Jobs Report Tomorrow

I have a sneaking suspicion that tomorrow's jobs number will be a disaster.

One thing to consider is that after the election they may want a collapse to justify more stimulus. But fear not, the last time the Fed raised rates the Dow collapsed and silver and gold went on a tear.

Let's look at the CRB index to demonstrate my point:
