Anthony Chan Clearly Quotations

I think this report clearly shows that we got a hurricane bounce back. It also puts the possibility of a Fed rate hike in December back in play.

Today's Fed rate cut and directive clearly reflects the fact that the Fed is coming to the end of its rainbow and therefore wants to ensure that it still can convince financial markets that it still has further flexibility to do more if it needs to.

We have almost 500,000 people in the New Orleans area and you have a less than 80,000 increase in claims. We are going to have a lot more than that. Clearly a lot of people can't yet file claims.

This puts to rest any question of whether or not we're going to have an explosive recovery. We're clearly not.

The jump in payrolls this month shows that although the economy clearly went through a wider-than-expected soft patch, it does not appear as though the shortfall in growth was permanent,
