If the markets were a mystery novel, this would be the moment of recognition: Happy days are not here again. The recession is not over. Recovery is not just around the corner.

So, no recovery means lower corporate profits (bear signs for SPY, QQQQ), greater likelihood that corporations will default on their debt (bear sign for JNK), less demand for crude oil amid industrial stagnation (bear sign for USO), and fewer chances for export-dependent emerging markets to prosper (bear sign for EEM).

All of this from a disappointing jobs report. How dismal is that!
