US stock market still waiting for stimulus.....

 US stock market is again caught in stimulus signature game...

IF the stimulus bill is signed, then the market may resume its uptrend...

IF stimulus bill is not signed by Monday open, market may justifiably throw tantrum

There are other issues facing world markets....issue of new strain of COVID-19 which is spreading fast in many parts of the world, Britain, Japan, Korea and many other countries.

China is also facing Corona Virus issue again in one city, they have shut down that city.

Canada is also facing resurgence of COVID-19, Ontario has gone into complete lockdown till end of January, this is a province of 14 million residents

US is still seeing increasing infection, hospitalization and deaths...

How US stock market will take all this is yet to be seen until we open on Monday....

Any negative reaction to lack of stimulus and resurgence of Corona may last 1 trading day, thus a buying opportunity.

Sector wise a broad based diversification is highly recommended for 2021

Technology will remain in play without participation from most highest market caps

Restart companies will be the theme for 2021

Last day of trading to close 2020 is Tuesday in Canada, plan your trading accordingly.

Good luck with your own analysis and comfort level.

Hi Saleem,

Last week: +0.85% (YTD: +141.51%)
Notable Leaders: HCAT TPR SUMO EAT
Notable Laggards: FUBO SNAP SQ

It was a quieter with the the small caps leading once again. As we wind down toward the end of the year, there could be more volatility as liquidity is lower than usual, but re-opening trades should continue to be on people's minds. How a company might do relatively in 2021 will likely drive flows.

Holdings: SUMO TPR TWLO SQ HUBS EAT ELY COTY SNAP LITE GM HCAT FDX FUBO, cash 13.7%

Hi Saleem,

Good luck with CNX!

Added to FDX @ 266.54

I think people are not giving enough credit for how much of a re-opening story FDX is also.
