Due to Thanksgiving Holiday travel plans to visit in-laws (ouch!) and friends (yeah!), the normal publishing schedule for the ETF Market Trendswill be delayed.

Yes gentle readers, even the devil needs rest sometimes. I hope to have Wednesday’s report completed in its entirety sometime well before Friday’s opening bell. I’ve compiled and reviewed all my notes and have quite a bit of ground to cover regarding the market.

In the meantime, here is an update of the trend monitor and market momentum tables for those who are interested.

Enjoy the holiday weekend and please take a moment to acknowledge your blessings, family, and friends and express gratitude to Whomever you deem appropriate and worthy...

  • I am not related to the writer but I have 10 kids, 28 grandkids and 1 great-grand kid and am the Patriarch of the entire group. If there is a problem - I am the one that they come to. I am also the one that everyone comes to for family fun also. We can usually get about 2/3 of the crew together at any given time for a party. Enjoy the holiday. :)
