Will stay with AMT (long). If the "rolling correction" has run its course, this week should be "positive"; if not, more bottom fishing.

It has been said many times, "as January goes, so goes the year". Therefore, things better start turning UP! Two weeks to go. (Of course, old market adages are not exactly reliable. Only time and circumstances will tell on 31 Dec 15.)  |

Bet VB will win the race. Had a nice finish.
Perhaps the BenchMark may be a bit easier on us today. Nope, hard taskmaster!
Well, at least ended up on a positive note for the week.
