I've noticed during my 5+ years here that when the PPS has been in sharp decline heading into December, that January comes with a bounce...at times substantial.  In years where the year has closed out with the PPS holding strong or heading higher....nope.  

Merry Christmas and a happy and blessed new year for all, Santa has done his job....the presents are under the tree, along with a Lionel train set that was given to me by that jolly old elf some 48 Christmases ago.
