Have a look at employment to population ratio since 1990
http://data.bls.gov
If layoffs are increasing then this isn't a good sign considering that figure above is less than it was in 2002!

unlikely it looks joules re 1239.5. you got 12% capital on the short side- go for it my son! i think we are going nowhere fast because we are in 570-730 range on the INDU and we have payrolls + a fed announcement around the corner. Don't know where but in a week we will not be at these levels IMO. have sold options against my shorts so would like to see 1215 stay intact for another week or so.

Americans have a pretty bad track record when it comes to saving money. Surprisingly, major corporations have been behaving exactly the opposite and squirreling away cash in record amounts.
As of late May 2005, the cash and cash equivalents held by nonfinancial companies of the S&P 500 equaled $630.4B, equal to 7.6% of the total market capitalization of the group. The amount of liquid assets held by these companies almost equals the total net income they generated in the twelve months ending March 2005 of $666.9B. Financial companies are excluded from the segment because of the reserve regulations requiring them to keep higher amounts of cash on their books.
So why are companies stockpiling cash when low interest rates mean their return won't be much more than what an average investor gets on a savings account? According to market researchers, many companies have simply become risk averse since the collapse of the stock market bubble.
Public corporations aren't the only folks in the market hoarding cash though, mutual fund managers are also holding cash at near record levels. A July survey by Merrill Lynch found that 19% of all fund managers believed they were overweight in cash with the mean cash balance for mutual funds at 4.1%.
