Trade Deficit in U.S. Jumps on Pre-Holiday Surge in Imports

From bloomberg.com

The trade deficit unexpectedly widened in November as American retailers stocked up on imported goods for the holidays and demand for foreign automobiles rebounded following superstorm Sandy.

- I am surprised that the markets didn't sell off any, since it the trade balance was -7B more than forcasted and -5B MoM. I was thinking that if the US created meaningful jobs, ex-burger flipping, like Obama claims they do, you would think the US would export more than they do. I think this metric have a strong relation to the productivity of the US.
  
  The Fed Budget comes out today and forecasted at -22B, which is a dramatic drop from the previous month of -172B.

  In my view after tracing you two, Tw0eleven is dominate long trader, jaygee is mainly short trader, Tw0eleven predicts about long trend is more accurate, jaygee is otherwise. So as my observer, if Tw0eleven says long (target A) you should close all order at A - 100 points, when jaygee says short you should wait until +100 points to go short . :D, In my view after tracing you two, Tw0eleven is dominate long trader, jaygee is mainly short trader, Tw0eleven predicts about long trend is more accurate, jaygee is otherwise.
