I digress!

It’s been tough to trade with any technical or fundemental logic at the end of this quarter. Fund managers’ jobs are on the line and there is a lot of window dressing going on. It’s not like there is no news to mix things up….Greece, Portugal, N.Korea. Euro, Dollar, Unemployment, Housing, Interest Rates….yeah, everything is cool, calm and collected…everything points to a higher market! Right? What the $%@&*!

The market has been like that guy in the infomercial for the Slap Chop chopper “you’ll love my nuts!” chop chop chop. Traders are nervous.

In a socialistic state (like the US) it’s good to be unemployed. You can get paid unemployment, you can get your mortgage reduced or paid for, healthcare, education and a whole bunch of benefits. Why would anyone want to work? And just think, all that money you make or save for not working, you can put in the stock market. No wonder we’re still going up. I digress.

Don’t forget London changes her clocks on Sunday night. New York will go back to -5hrs behind London. Is it really necessary to keep switching clocks back and forth?
