We reached S&P 1119 on 12/4. Was that the high for the year?

I think it was. Hanukkah just started, then holidays, volume is gone...so we're stuck in the range.

This was posted elsewhere in the forum but more on greece and ireland. if greece drops the euro doesnt the dollar take a defacto bump and the market...if driven on lower usd...take a dump?

10 minutes b4 market close.... another check for the bulls. The market is trying cling to a slight gain despite a better-than-expected retail sales number.

Though we are in a tight range, I will add that the % of investors looking for a correction is at a high. In the past, this has often led to choppy trading several weeks out.

We have seasonality which provides the market a forward breeze, but in this environment, a false breakout is highly probable no matter how strong it initially appears.

One thing noticeable today is that the market shrugged off the strength in the dollar.

Thought I would contribute a post since I'm the OP...
