Manipulation and dont fight the tape

FAZ was a bad trade.  The employment figures today were a complete joke.  1.2 Million potential job seekers "just vanished".  The government is able - and allowed by us Lemmings - to manipulate their information any way they like.  The HL trade is still OK .  It is performing well today and is one of the more disliked mining stocks out there - a good sign given its reserves, lack of debt etc.  This seems to be as good a place as any to park money LETS JUST HOPE that the wall street broker I use doesn't use the shares for their own loans.  Long term the best place to have my money is close to home and invested in my local economy.
