My Decorating is Done!

I've almost finished all of my Christmas decorating! I need just a few more hours of uninterupted diligence, and everthing will be complete. This week should help, as its a light week for economic releases on Wall Street. The Dow ended a slight 0.4% down today, despite the continued rise of gold and a huge rally by Guidant stock. Guidant received a $25 billion bid from Boston Scientific today, topping Johnson & Johnson's bid. Its a daring offer from Boston, and this should be an interesting takover to watch unfold. Meanwhile, all I have to do is my Christmas shopping...only 20 days left! DOW: -42.50 Nasdaq: -15.73 S&P 500: -2.99
