- First of all, I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas.
- The stock market has been good to us this year. I will be writing more year-end reflections next week, but we all should really consider this 4th-year in the bull market a nice blessing.
- Over at realmoney, Jim Cramer writes a column What's Behind Sluggishness at AIG. In case you've haven't been watching TV and those AIG commercials, it's obvious: They're thinking about butterflies.
- I think it was Bob Pisani this morning who mentioned that $10B has been removed from stock mutual funds recently. And gone where, Bob? I'd think that money has to be invested somewhere.
- It would seem that a Santa Claus rally is likely, with stocks swooning this week. Last year we didn't get the rally in the last week, but most of the time we do. I might throw a little cash at the QQQQ near the end of the day. We'll see.
- Need to head out at lunch and really finish Christmas shopping... be back!
