Weekly wrap - 12 Dec 2021

Mark Sear • Dec 12, 2021

Not a bad week - but is it a portent of horrors to come?

The weekly wrap for an OK week.  Just OK.  Nothing more and nothing less. 


The Santa Rally just hasn't happened so far but neither have the markets collapsed.  It's been tough trading but you just simply have to have patience and the Trade Signals deliver.  The main thing to really develop at this time is patience.  Not patience for 80% of the time - but 100% of the time. 


We have basically 8 trading days left before Christmas.  Let's see how things develop.  Use this as a learning time for 2022.  This could be a very rocky time.  Omicron looks to be less nasty than other variants of Covid, but is much more virulent.  If it kicks in big time then health services will be overloaded and who knows what governments will have to mandate!  Fingers crossed.
