 Good afternoon folks, Larry Pesavento with the mid-afternoon update. Today we have stocks under a great deal of pressure, golds under pressure, silvers under pressure. The only markets are up. We've got a couple of the grains are up, soybeans are down, corn is up slightly, wheat's down a little bit. In the foreign currency markets we've got just another mixed bag of dollars just chopping around. So they're all hanging together. It's very quiet folks. This is Christmas week. Remember the Christmas falls on a Sunday this year. That means that Monday will be the holiday, so it will be a four-day work next week. And then we have the year coming in. So believe me, if you haven't got your business done now, get it done soon because pretty soon it's going to get thinner and thinner out there and there'll be pockets of illiquidity in there. Sometimes it can really be extremely uncomfortable if you're on the wrong side of it. But I'm going to cover one of those on my show that comes up in the next few minutes here. So pay attention to that. We have some big moves coming for 2023 folks. It's going to be the year of volatility. If you remember for many years, volatility was 8, 9, 10, 12, somewhere in that area. Now it's between 18 and 38 and I think you're going to see some volatility numbers. It'll turn your hair sometime during 2023. But that's neither here nor there right now because this is what we're dealing with now. However, we have normal trading hours this week. And then we cut short, I believe, on Friday a little bit because that really starts the holiday weekend with Christmas Eve coming on Saturday. So the 23rd will be a light day, if at all. I won't be here for sure. But anyway, believe me, we've got some great stuff going on. But make sure you get your trading plan in the right place and have stops in because illiquidity can really be a pain in the rear end if you've misinterpreted something. We've seen some of these in the past few weeks and we certainly don't want to. We haven't been involved in them, but we've seen others. So that's what we're watching here. So that's what we're looking at today. Stay tuned. We'll be having my show. We'll be coming up in just a few moments. With my guests today will be none other than Norm Winsky of Astro Trends out of Naples, Florida, always someone who's very, very good. So we'll see you all in a few minutes, folks.
