Good MorningEquities were able to hold their ground again on Thursday marking the 10th consecutive trading day at current price levels.

With the Thanksgiving Holiday upon us holiday trading conditions are ruling the market. This means lighter than average volumes and the possibility of increased volume. Next week the market will have a raft of economic data to process. The first read on Q3 GDP is due out on Wednesday and includes several key pieces of economic data.
