Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

2007 has been an exciting year. A year, which has started with great promise, has now come to a quiet end. While the index is higher than where it was at the beginning of the year, the traded volume has dwindled substantially. Huge swings in February & August had taken a heavy toll on many market participants.

During these holidays, let's take a break from the market & spend some time with family & friends. There should be sufficient time to make plans for the challenges and opportunities when 2008 is upon us. I like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
