The Market On Tuesday

  Good morning. It is a brisk 27 degrees and mostly cloudy here in the Upper Hudson Valley. We could get rain today. We see there's been a terrorist attack in Jerusalem killing 4 innocent people. When will this craziness cease? It's gone on for all our entire lifetimes and we are beyond sick of it. It's just beyond stupid and goes directly to the most animal like traits in human beings. We are numb.

  At 9:00 a.m. ET futures are ever so slightly higher and the price of oil per barrel is slightly lower. The market is poised to open in the flat area.

  After Japan's revelation that the world's third largest economy had slipped back into a technical recession came out yesterday, there is good news today. Germany's struggling economy, the fourth largest in the world, is now showing positive signs in November. This a big deal as Germany is a main driver in the eurozone which in itself has been in rough economic territory for a while now. Let's see how this all plays out today.
