    Stocks ended the week with a thud, closing down on Friday, as
    investors pulled back after February's job report and market
    powerhouse Nvidia (NVDA) had a rare off-day.

    The S&P 500 (^GSPC) lost 0.7% after logging another record close
    on Thursday, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) shed
    0.2%, with losses pared by a pop in Apple (AAPL) shares. The
    tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) lost 1.2% after a sharp gain
    the previous day. Shares of Nvidia fell more than 5% after a
    record-breaking hot streak.

    Friday's non-farm payrolls report showed the US economy added
    275,000 jobs in February, once again zooming past Wall Street
    expectations. However, the unemployment rate ticked up to 3.9%,
    its first increase in four months. Futures on the three major
    averages were trading in red figures ahead of the jobs data. The
    report bolstered investor confidence that the Federal Reserve
    will cut rates following its June meeting, but the momentum
    fizzled by the end of the trading day.

    The Biden administration thinks you are stupid.

    Reduction In Force jobs that have been marginalized with wage
    reductions because liberals are too stupid to do them, then
    reintroduced as "new jobs" is not "adding jobs".
