I'll wish you all a Merry Christmas before you disappear to start the festivities! :)

I'll kick off a traders thread for Tuesday some time over the weekend (when time
and sobriety allow).

Hope you all have a great time. You deserve it after such a fraught year.

Best wishes,

Alan

I think it's been a fraught decade Alan :-) Anyway, thanks for the threads and have a great Christmas.
