As you may have heard, four Italian banks failed last week on bad investments, and the savers are being 'bailed-in.'
Stocks managed a bounce today in quiet holiday trading.
Have a pleasant evening.
"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.” Abraham Lincoln, November 19, 1863
