Looks like crude oil isn't finished with its downward pressure on the dow. Relative strength of the $wtic:$indu turned back up today in favor of the crude oil.
That jives well with early December being "tax loss selling" (one of the many reasons I had a weak early December, till maybe the 12th, wrongfully taking MSFT payout 10 days later than actual, a typo in my notes had the 12th in lieu of the 2nd <g>), but $15 B in excess liquidity could throw a monkey wrench in that faithful pattern.
