The wild week we've had and what is to come.

 Hello friends, no, it's not Jim Nantz, but all I can say is what a crazy last couple of weeks we've had. With monetary policy under the microscope, all I can say is things will get worse before they get better. As of Sunday at 10pm, Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq futures are trading lower at -1.5%, -1.8%, and 2.3%, respectively.

I look forward to 2021; I hope it is better than 2020 because, let's face it, we can't do much worse. -M.W.H.
