To any of you actually in front of a screen on this day at this hour – greetings! Trading should be quiet through the end of next week (the start of 2009 notwithstanding), so Slope will probably be pretty mellow until then. Untangling "what's next" hasn't been this challenging in a while, although January 2nd should give us a bit of a peek under the covers. We're all going to have to try to figure this out together, one day at a time.
