End of year for some and end of life for others

The CFO of BIDU died, proving Christmas isn’t always a happy time of year for everyone.  Today is the last day of the year.  I would look up what history shows the market’s direction for the last day of the year, but I would rather just watch and enjoy.

AAPL is down a bit, that’s good.

RIMM is down a little bit also, good again.

WFC down a quarter of a dollar or almost 1%.  That’s a good start.  I’m waiting for the stock to drop another $1.00, to a new 52-week low.  It hasn’t happened yet, but is currently on it’s way.

ELSR is up a little bit, still not around where I would have had a profit.  I hate guessing wrong.

I think that I had missing the profit entirely more than missing the premium exit point.  A lot more.

Well, good luck to you traders working today.  I’ll be watching all day, probably making a list or two for the New Year.

My daily prediction is that the market will close red for today, but the volume will be so ridiculously light that it won’t matter.
