Winter Holidays

I'll continue to produce "Prospects" reports during the winter holidays period. However, I anticipate doing very little analysis or trading. Volume is sure to be low as traders turn their attention away from profits, and low volume always makes market signals suspect in my eyes.

Also, I won't be analyzing any of the symbols that produced bull and bear signals on Thursday and survived my initial screening overnight. (See "Friday's Prospects".) All have failed my second round of analysis, for the most part because their charts are showing topping behavior.
