Today's Comments

	MBS Live Chat - 3:18PM "lock if it is what the customer wants..."
	MBS Live Chat - 3:19PM "See newstream article on employment expectations, float with extreme caution...."
	MBS Live Chat - 3:23PM "here's the thing about lock/float questions before NFP. NFP typically sets the trend for the entire month, and this is doubly true on months where it is significantly better or worse than expected. You can pretty much throw out every movement from before today and just consider tomorrow as a coin toss..."
	MBS Live Chat - 3:23PM "Not like we're seeing a facemelting rally today in anticipation of a horrific report...."
	MBS Live Chat - 3:25PM "imo, it could take us much higher than lower...more to risk, very little to gain, unless it is sub 100k, then we rally big..."
