Buckle-up for a bumpy ride?

I typically receive one of the following bulletins from MarketWatch daily - usually related to a particular company's events more than a general announcement regarding the economy. Today, thus far, I have received three of the latter sort:

Bulletin: U.S. retail-level inflation up 1.2%, more than expected
Bulletin: U.S. consumer-sentiment reading declines
Bulletin: U.S. industrial output registers biggest decline since '82

None portends good. The "consumer-sentiment reading"... well, I typically care far less about such figures than I do the more hard facts reported. How my neighbor feels about his financial future is not as important to me as what his employer thinks about continuing to employ him. ;-)
