Three Things for the Holidays
This column was originally published on RealMoney on Nov. 21 at 8:31 a.m. EST. It's being republished as a bonus for TheStreet.com readers.
I don't know about you, but holiday times allow me to do a few things I don't normally do. One, I get to sleep even more than normal. Two, I get to take a step back and take a big-picture look at the market. Regarding the latter, three things popped out at me when I did that this weekend.- 1) The Dow has been hot ... but is still moving sideways.
- 2) I'm not sure anyone has mentioned it, but the NYSE is at all-time highs.
- 3) What bear market? The Russell 2000 is up 17% from its March 2000 peak!
And that is the final word from Santa Monica, Calif., where "Lords of Dogtown" is different and not very well made, but still has something appealing about it. Worth at least a one-night rental.
P.S. from TheStreet.com Editor-in-Chief, Dave Morrow:
