"Ho-Ho-Ho!"

by Larry Levin


The final week of 2007 is here and it looks like the Santa Claus has begun. It may not be quite as strong as some had hoped, but the indices have had a fairly strong pop from their recent bottoms. For example, the March S&P500 futures have rallied 53.00-points in just 4-days.

If this year was "normal," without a mortgage crisis I mean, then we could expect this rally to continue. And it probably will. However, if there is one thing that could stall the Santa Claus rally it is next week's economic news that covers the housing market.

Have a great and safe Holiday Season everyone!

This is the last newsletter until January 2nd.
