Week of 2013 MA 31

IWM fell by 0.1% this week, while my account did the same.  The loss-floor is now -1.3%.

US markets were closed on Monday for Memorial Day.

US news: The small-caps fell 1.0% in the just last hour of trading on Friday, including a precipitious 0.5% drop in the final five minutes.  In a normal market, this would be considered “spooking” and one would reasonably expect further downside action on Monday.  But we are now living in a centrally-planned economy, so I expect Helicopter Ben to print up $1.5 billion in funny money on Monday, which will “miraculously” save the market.  Welcome to the New Normal!
