Holiday weekend delayed the process, but what is expected to happen will happen.
It is not the doing that is difficult, but the knowing


It's the illiquidity, stupid !

Then what about the "January Effects"? Do you see it's going to play out as usual? :rolleyes:

There are whole lot of effects lined up to support stock markets next year - January effect, third year presidential effect, Congress gridlock effect :D :D From Investopedia - January effect: "A general increase in stock prices during the month of January. This rally is generally attributed to investors buying stocks that have dropped in price following a sell-off at the end of December by investors seeking to create tax losses to offset any capital gains." Did many people take tax losses in this year?

You make a great point greenie! I would only qualify it with recent SMH selling; SOX may very well bounce in new year; high tech (not yet seen in stock prices) is heating up in terms of research spending (as measured by hireing of r&d types). I'm not predicting anything; just mentioning the possibility.
