Dear SpikeTrader,Hello from cold and sunny New York. Kerry has been visiting and is just about to fly back to Alabama. We had a very enjoyable campers' meeting and a year-end party. Most private traders are very isolated, and it feels good and productive to break through this isolation - whether by having campers' and Spikers' meetings or by communicating with each other in SpikeTrade.comKerry and I spent a great deal of time during the past few days planning enhancements and improvements for SpikeTrade.com. We are determined to make this the most useful website for serious traders.Let us now turn to the current market situation.
