Happy Christmas Eve, everyone. The day that combines the pageantry of a religious festival with the unchecked anticipation of Juneteenth. It will be a short trading day, of course, with a close three hours before the normal time. The market re-opens Thursday for regular sessions Thursday and Friday, with another cleaved week after that. We can all start working normally again on January 6th.
With about four people participating in the market, all four of them bulls, it looks like almost all the damage from last week’s super-fun Wednesday plunge is gone.
Worse yet, the /NQ has bested Friday’s peak, so we’ll have to see how far they take this back. As with the /ES, most of the /NQ drop has been laid waste.
Oh, as for Coda, she’s doing all right. The good news is that I brought her in for an ultrasound yesterday morning, and her heart sac was only about 1/4th “full” of liquids. The bad news is that what she’s facing is terminal, no matter how craftily we try to delay it. In the meanwhile, we are trying to give her the best, happiest life possible, and she’s quite content almost all the time.
For obvious reasons, it’s going to be rather quiet here until Thursday morning, although there will be a post from time to time. Whatever your plans, I hope you are able to spend this time in the manner of your choosing and with people whom you care about.
