Hello Everyone,

This week the volume is slow and everyone is getting ready for the holidays. I just wanted to take some time and wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. I suppose we will see a few more downgrades today but hopefully it is setting us up for a better 2009. It has been a tough year but I believe it has made us all better. It has certainly taught me some lessons that I have already implemented in my trading. 

So here is my take away for the year that was: "History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme." - Mark Twain. Look back over the year and what worked and more importantly what didn't work for your trading strategy in 2008. Apply the lessons learned to your gameplan strategy for 2009 and forward.

Let's all enjoy the holidays and get ready for what should be a better 2009. So to all you and yours, Happy Holidays!

Todd
