The markets remain slow as the year approaches its end. I have no prospective entries into new positions for Thursday

Some high-volatility stocks are blocked from consideration because they are within a month of earnings announcements; I’ll wait until closer to the events before giving them a look.

The next earnings season begins Jan. 9 with the publication of AA’s results and will last for six weeks.

U.S. stock markets will be closed Monday, Jan. 2, in observance of the New Year’s holiday.

There is nothing on the table to trade today, and I would be unsurprised if that were so for the rest of the week. However, surprises happen, and I’ll be doing my daily analytical routine as always.

Here’s how I’ll handle it on Private Trader the remainder of the week. I shall post Prospects after the market close, even if there are none. If there are no prospects, then I’ll skip the Agenda post. I’ll post Outcomes only if I have attempted a trade.
