Expect Choppy Action Ahead

Lower consumer confidence? No big surprise there given the sentiment polls that gauge investor sentiment these days.

Given what I'm seeing this morning, those of you trying to grind it out should expect a fairly choppy tape to contend with. I'm not sure what folks expect from this afternoon's FOMC minutes, but I'm sure they'll try to make something from it.

On such a beautiful day, I am scheduled to tee off with Michael Steinhardt of HEDGEfolios at 11:04 AM. He'll see for himself that I'm a much better trader than golfer. :)
