Econ reports:
There are no econ reports Friday or Monday. Treasury on Monday will announce auction results for the 4-week bills, and conduction auctions for the 3-month and 6-month bills and 2-year notes.
The markets are closed on Friday for Christmas.
One major report is scheduled next week: Pending home sales on Thursday.
Trading Calendar:
By my rules, at this point in the cycle I can trade January vertical, diagonal, butterfly and calendar spreads, iron condors and covered calls. Also, March straddles, calls and puts. And of course, shares are good at any time.
