Flu today... gone tomorrow?

Let's certainly hope so. I've had the flu today. However, much of the futures market was fairly quiescent and lethargic, perhaps due to the impending Christmas Holiday and many traders taking time off. Perhaps this was a blessing in disguise, because stolid markets are when I am most likely to lose money. Volume is often low and prices are often unusually volatile in the days immediately before and after major holidays. However, I plan to trade through the end of the week, if I am feeling well.
