Coral In Red...

A disastrous day for my portfolio with zero profit-taking and mounting losses.  

The US markets completely ignored the Swooning Japanese Housewives and bought the dips as Retail Sales and Unemployment Claims printed modest improvements amidst whispers that Bernanke could be ready to dose out some more blue pills at next week's FOMC Meeting.  

I went along and added PIR and CLWR calls to my EWJ puts and FXY calls, but no results yet.  

It's either I've got to do something differently or I've got to be a little more patient...

The controversial Preliminary University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment figures are out tomorrow at 10:00 am.  Apparently, there have been quote unquote private sponsors of this data for over 40 years now, so we definitely got the memo late.

I'll be watching the charts 5 minutes before the figures are released to see how the Liberal Elite Traders are playing it...
