Who doesn’t love a good headline? Dow Makes Another New High! But, headlines are sound bites. Sound bites catch attention. And attention is something better paid to the upcoming holiday season right now.
End of year tax selling, lack of participation along with a mixed picture in sectors and groups, i.e. Oil and Gas Exploration and US Oil Fund up, pretty much everything else down, makes for very little reward and a whole lotta frustration.
So, deck the halls, let it snow, roast some chestnuts, find some mistletoe-trading? Leave that to Rudolf!
