This week will be extremely thin in the markets, as it's the time of year that most traders take their vacations. I suggest you take a tip from the big boys and lay low until after the holidays.

We're off to Vegas this morning in search of warmth and sunshine, but I don't think we'll find it. Almost all of North America is in a deep freeze with Vegas getting record low temperatures and snow for the first time in 30 years. Just my luck. Well, at least it's warm in the casinos!

On behalf of all of us at Traders Helping Traders, I want to wish you and your families a safe and happy holiday season. Merry Christmas!
