Down goes the Dow

Sliggy likes to distort, never has any content, same old Sliggy.

What does your lawyer daughter think about how you demean women on this thread, Figy?

Sliggy, I gave you a well deserved nickname just as you have given to me. I will forward your response along with your past accusations. How do you like that?

Forward whatever you want. Waste your time. You know your just hot air.

You stop with the Figy and I will stop with the Sliggy. In regards to the other accusations I am very serious.

You're not serious, Figy. You're a joke. You know there's no legal issue here, so just shut up and crawl back into your hole.

The moderators have informed me of complaints they have received describing me in unfavorable terms. There has been a concerted effort to defame, harrass and silence me. This cyber harassment is a matter of record. I will not as you say "shut up and crawl back in your hole."

You don't need the moderators to tell you that. There are plenty of posters here who describe you in unfavorable terms. And you have done the same to others. You are as guilty as the rest of us.

If it starts again, we'll see where it goes.

Nice what starts again, Figy? People calling you names? Grow a pair.

OK, thanks Sliggy, you grow a pair too.

That's just terribly offensive.

Wall Street stocks were set to open moderately lower on Friday, as investors held back from big bets ahead of jobs data that could help decide whether the Federal Reserve hikes interest rates later this year.

Currencies were also in the spotlight after the British pound crashed to a fresh 31-year low in a matter of minutes, in Asian trading hours.

S&P 500 index futures slipped 6.5 points, or 0.3%, to 2,152.20, while Dow industrials futures fell 40 points, or 0.2%, to 18,159. Nasdaq-100 futures dropped 12 points, or 0.3%, to 4,860.

U.S. stocks closed flat Thursday as trading stayed tepid in the wait for the nonfarm-payrolls report. For the week so far, the Dow industrials are down 0.2%, the S&P 500 is off 0.4%, and the Nasdaq Composite has lost 0.1%.

The markets are pricing in around a 64% chance of an interest-rate hike from the Federal Reserve in December, and are "vulnerable to a bad number" on the jobs side, said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda, in emailed comments.

"Should we see a weak jobs report, we could see that number slashed quite considerably, which would probably be good for stocks but bad for the dollar, which has been on quite a run recently," said Erlam.

In a gauge of how unsettled markets were on Friday, the VIX Volatility index rose nearly 8% to 13.79,

Jobs data on tap: Economists expect the September employment report will show 169,000 jobs were added after a preliminary 151,000 gain in August. The nonfarm-payrolls data comes at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time, along with the unemployment rate and average hourly earnings.

August wholesale inventories are due at 10 a.m. Eastern, with consumer credit for August coming at 3 p.m. Eastern.

Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer will speak at the Institute of International Finance's on Friday at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Kansas City Fed President Esther George appears at 3 p.m. Eastern, followed by Fed governor Lael Brainard at 4 p.m. Eastern.

Ellen,I have been a regular poster on LetsRun.com for over a decade. I have numerous friends and acquaintances that are familiar with my handle and know my real name. Your friend Sally has spent months chasing me around this message board while hurling epithets a me, as well as other tactics. I have offered to dialed back the insults but she will have none of it. I will take a different track if the epithets begin again.Igy

K5 uses many different names and there are some here who believe he is Ghost of Igloi.

You darn well know they are one in the same.

He just doesn't want to fess up to that ridiculous original post he made 3 years ago. Although, he does have to lay claim to some of the other moronic predictions he's made since.

mellon,And I will assume you are Sally V, Detector and other cowardly handles that have been harassing me and hurling epithets on a regular basis.Igy

Sally is not my friend, but she is a woman and deserves to be treated respectfully. I saw nothing in your recent exchange to warrant the use of the kind of language you chose.

Since you're making assumptions about me, I'm sure you won't mind me assuming you're a Trump supporter. You're two of a kind.

Ellen,

How do you even know if Sally V is a woman if you are not her friend?

Igy

You're even more ignorant than I thought.
