I agree - a lot of the little stuff is showing signs of life. I think it continues for a while, but I still sell anything that pops up. If the post-Christmas trend continues there will be lots of opportunites to buy dips.
Venture is right at resistance - the highs of last May & Oct. A decisive breakout on good volume will constitute the completion of a multi-month double bottom basing pattern - very positive. The projection for this is about 1100 on Venture - which would likely be a nice 2 month run. Fingers crossed....
