Summary

Well, it looks like we'll see the 1830s this morning. A weekly close in the 1840s is very probable..next week..if not even this week.
--

There is no sig' QE until next year..not that it matters in my view right now.

Notable early movers: AAPL +3.3%.   RIG +1.0%


9.15am.. market looks set to hold gains..with a probable close in the low 1830s. Little reason why the VIX won't close this week in the 12s.

After all...nothing looming until at least late Jan/early Feb.
