| Strong jobs report = the Federal reserve hasn't achieved what

| 
| In order to achieve their mission, they'll keep hiking rates or
| hold them higher for longer.
| 
| How is that good news for the stock market?
| 
| There's easily been at least a few job reports in the past 6-12
| months where, if it was positive, because of the Federal Reserve
| implications, the market falls.
