Stocks Fall, is the tide turning?

I've always gone by the saying trade what you see not what you think, and I see things reversing. We are having more heavy down days, lead by big losses in the Nasdaq especially. Im currently long 4 stocks in the portfolio, and AGCO seems to just move with the market having been up 10% on this I'm almost flat, I'm trying to let things run but in this case didn't work out. I'm looking to short but haven't found anything I like yet so still on sidelines on that.
After the curve shifting last week, spreads have stayed very steady this week with not much volatility which was disappointing given Trichets remarks last week. Its been difficult to leg in and out of spreads with much fluency.
So all in all been a relatively quiet week, although I did trade NZD rate decision and manage to get short and take a few pips which was one of the upside moments.
Tomorrow we have CAD employment and US retail sales for catalyst for the markets, hopefully they will be good.
