Quite a worrying state of affairs. Southern europe is in a sorry state. Take a look at the graphic here: http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2013/04/european-economy-guide

What can I say?  Friday PM market was really mean for shorts and I was in no mood to type full sentences or even words for that matter.  Guess I felt a bit antoganistic but back to my old charming self now. ;D

China's PMI lowest in 2 years, more Chinese numbers out this week, merchandise trade balance on wednesday, CPI and PPI on thursday. Today we have European PMI at 10 and retail sales at 11. South Africa's Q1 unemployment will also be out this afternoon.

Had my @$$ handed to me on a silver platter last few sessions, not so much fun. :'(

SA unemployment rate @ 25.20% as expected, previously 24.90%.  Draghi speaks at 15:00, no idea why though.

If I had a rand for everytime I took a beating I wouldn't need my other investments  >:(

The Nikkei is up over 3%. I'm trying to find reasons, but other than some weakening of the Yen and some good results out, I can't find anything to justify such a large climb. Anyone?

Sometimes it is good to be reminded of the nature of the beast we're battling daily :D, also good to be reminded it happens, get over it and move on - thank you jaDEB & Nivek.  ;)

I can give you a lot of reasons why Nikkei or any other market for that matter, shouldn't be up 3%+ but sanity doesn't prevail atm. (Might be Auz's rate cut earlier today come to think of it.) Furthermore German factory orders at 12:00 and that's about it for today. 

For now, I will abide my time and wait patiently to short again, :) luckily I'm in another province this week so time should fly by.

Edit:  German factory orders Prev 2.2%, Exp -0.5%, Actual 2.2%

Markets do strange things that we cannot fathom. Look at Black Monday in 1987 I think. If I remember correctly the Dow dropped 27% in 1 day and nobody knows why.
