Final note

It was a mixed week for US equities, although Wednesday sure wasn't pretty. This week's price action gives some support to the notion that last week saw a pre-election high put in... if not for all indexes.

The coming week should favour the bulls, although I'd look for a ceiling/turn late Wed' or early Thursday. 

In any case, I will hope you have enough popcorn for the 'big show'.
