Here Are Thursday’s Top Names

and a disappointing Durable
Goods report were the main Grinches (culprits) in today’s trade. 

With lackluster volume and range in today’s
session, Reindeer games were being offered by market makers to any willing
participants, but this produced little more than the opportunity for the smart
daytrader to spend some extra time with his or her family. The technical picture
remains intact, and with the Generals already (….’not a creature was
stirring’….) very far from the canyons of Wall Street I will bid you a very
merry holiday. See you on Thursday.
