The real 'Santa' rally appears in the last week - at least historically speaking it tacks on an average of 3.1% onto the DJIA from its inception in 1896.
~750 points in the last week? Damn, that would meet those forecasts of 25,000 by end of year quite comfortably.
He's got a full sack, and he's gonna shoot his muck on the non believers and the bears in quick time. Expect some nice upside incoming. It's the Traders bonus, the gift that always gives
The market gods don't care if you're a Nun or a Rapist. If you're waiting for your Santa rally, or any rally, to happen...it won't arrive. -- At least not for you ...in a nice gift box, or silver platter. You have to be rather proactive with the market. There's a bull market/rally happening everyday, for the trained/experienced calm and patient and analytical killer trader.
