Straddle on Stocks Heavily Correlated with Economic Indicators

I was wondering if anyone looked at trading straddles around economic indicators like the employment reports, retail sales, manufacturing index, construction spending, etc. Theoretically there would be stocks that are correlated with these indicators. We have mentioned one recently, the fed meeting and GLD.

I do know it would be possibly to write software to check for correlation, but that is a reasonably complex project needing multiple sources of data.

Does anyone no of a site or report that lists stocks correlated with events or reports OR has anyone tried this strategy before and have an opinion on it?

Thank you!

Richard
