Is There an End in Sight to this Market Correction?

2021-11-30

by

DESCRIPTION: "(11/30/21) Despite Monday's rally, markets are still in correction mode, and the Omicron variant is providing the "excuse" for correction to occur. It's important to note that Friday's decline, in a half-day of light-volume trading, was followed by a Cyber Monday rally in a full day of activity, with only half the volume of Friday's rout. The Omicron variant is still a source of concern this morning. This consolidation...

2021-11-23
