Awaiting the Christmas break

US equity indexes closed a little mixed, sp +5pts at 2684. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled u/c and +0.5% respectively. VIX settled -1.0% at 9.62. Near term outlook offers minor chop into the Christmas break. The sp'2700s and Dow 25k seem probable before year end. More broadly, many are now seeking sp'3K in 2018.
