Another anemic day

Not much going on out there. I ended up the day down .27%. Next week begins the bulk of earnings announcements so we'll see what the real trend will be then.

I wonder if I'll look back on these last few months and remember how chaotic the news made the markets seem. It seems like everyone has a different opinion on what is happening and where things are headed. Will I learn that it will be like this next time and make better decisions? Or is every time different and you can never really predict the future from the past? I haven't been doing this long enough to know.
