“There is a boundary to men’s passions when they act from feelings; but none when they are under the influence of imagination.”

AS I SEE IT: The market opened a little lower this morning before firming up into the close. The volume was very light, but I would imagine that tomorrow the volume will pick up a little. Price ranges should improve after the government reports in the morning.

Some overseas markets were closed today, so I’ll be watching their price action overnight and the momentum when our market opens in the morning for direction from here.

I HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS!

There’s no reason you can’t have as much fun trading as I do!
