Sleepy... Grumpy... Snooze...

After another sleepless night, my portfolio ended pressing the snooze button as the market failed to hold onto the green.  Just as my energy plays, PER and SDR, looked like they were about to start gaining upside momentum amidst continuing uncertainty in Egypt and chatter about potential geopolitical risks impacting the Suez Canal, which holds the key to millions of barrels of oil daily, we started losing altitude almost as quickly as the trading session started to wind down.  

Half day at school tomorrow, but no shortage of data with ADP, Unemployment Claims, US Trade Balance and ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI all before nap time...
