Starting with the week ending 10/28 and continuing thru last Friday's close, the Group, SOX, and NASDAQ have done quite well. The big gains were in November with some retraction during the past 3 weeks. We now have 4 trading days left this year - the question is - how will the trading go to close out this year.
