Markets continued to make new highs in the short Thanksgiving week.  Retails were particularly strong.  TGT, RL, TJX, ROST were among some retail stocks that made new all-time highs!  Initial reports seem to indicate that for brick-and-mortar stores, consumers seem to be spending about the same amount of money as last year during the Black Friday sales.  It will be interesting to see the numbers from the online sales.

Amazingly, even with the big drop in the energy sector, as OPEC kept output unchanged in a meeting on Thursday, the overall market indices held up.  The Dow was flat; Nasdaq was up, and SPX was down about 5 points.

We had a pretty good week, with just most closed trade in the green:

Tech stocks have been really strong, outpacing the broader market.  Of course, the broader market has been held back back the energy stocks.  Financial stocks are still looking very healthy.  We will take a closer look at these with the overall market in my weekly Market Forecast tomorrow.
