um the terrorist attacks have no impact on the markets unless they happen here or in Europe as in the case of 911. The benexir Bhutto assassination last jan had no impact on stocks. Retail sales are expected to be weak maybe cuz the market is down so much??? Hmmmmm market will surge next week. this is the next bull market
futures set for another huge rally on friday. with so many people trying to fade this rally it will probably keep going higher as these faders are forced to cover. v shaped recovery.
I go with the market being up small on Friday. This way the media can talk about the five straight up days. This will postpone public selling until the market makes new lows before New Year's Day.
