I stuck to the overall trading plan today and didn't try any new trade strategies today. However, the only reason why I didn't reach my trading goals for the day was due to some last minute christmas shopping. Other than that, I plan on trading very little for Tuesday and Wednesday as I prepare for christmas celebration.

Also, I strongly believe that profitable trading involves more than just trade signals and that's why most traders fail because they put all their efforts in trade signals while ignoring the impact on their trading results via market experience, discipline, money management, team collaboration, proper trading enviornment (home or office), market psychology, trader psychology (trading habits/routine and personal lifestyle). If you don't understand this perspective...please ask questions here at the forum for more info or you can tweet me on twitter @wrbtrader.

Dow In Positive Territory For December
By Ben Rooney, staff reporter
December 21, 2009: 5:29 PM ET

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks rallied Monday, pushing the Dow back into positive territory for the month as investors cheered a combination of analyst upgrades and corporate deal-making.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) gained 85 points, or 0.8%. The blue-chip average is now up 0.7% for December. The S&P 500 index (SPX) rose 11 points, or 1.1%.

The Nasdaq composite (COMP) advanced 26 points, or 1.2%, to its highest level since September 2008.

Aluminum producer Alcoa (AA, Fortune 500) surged nearly 9% after analysts at Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock and the company announced a $10.8 billion joint venture with Saudi Arabia to develop a major mining operation.

Technology stocks advanced after analysts at Barclays Capital upgraded Intel (INTC, Fortune 500) to "overweight." Shares of the semiconductor maker rose 2.4%.

Big health-care companies rose after the Senate voted to end debate on revisions to a major health-care-reform bill, a key step toward finalizing the controversial legislation.

The health care sector also was supported by news that Sanofi-Aventis will buy retail health products maker Chattem for $1.9 billion.

"Health care stocks had a nice rally," said Todd Leone, head trader at Cowen & Co. While questions remain about the sweeping health-care bill making its way through Congress, "people are happy that there's something concrete."

Cigna (CI, Fortune 500), Aetna (AET, Fortune 500), and UnitedHealth Group (UHG) all posted strong gains.

The rally comes at the beginning of a holiday-shortened week on Wall Street. The stock market closes early on Thursday and will remain dark on Friday for the Christmas holiday.

Many market participants will take the entire week off, which means the number of shares trading hands will be low, and relatively small moves could cause major volatility.

"With thin trading the risk always remains of a large move that seemingly comes out of nowhere and slams the market," noted Dan Cook, senior analyst at IG Markets, in a research report.

"This week could be a week where we see very quick, near-vertical up or down swings, followed by equally sudden reversals as profits are taken on a very short term basis," Cook said.

At the same time, with the major indexes on track to post double-digit percentage gains for the year, many money managers have closed their books. Those that are still trading will probably avoid risky bets.

"A lot of people have packed up their bags for the week and for the year," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Jefferies & Co. "I wouldn't read too much into any of the moves this week."

Tuesday brings the government's final revision of third-quarter gross domestic product and a report from National Association of Realtors on existing home sales in November.

Merger Monday. French pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Aventis (SNY) announced plans to acquire Chattanooga, Tenn.-based Chattem (CHTT), which makes over-the-counter healthcare products like Icy Hot, for $1.9 billion.

The deal, which would create the world's fifth-largest consumer healthcare company, is part of an ongoing plan to expand Sanofi's presence in the U.S. market, the company said in a statement.

Elsewhere, mining equipment maker Bucyrus (BUCY) International said Sunday it would buy rival Terex Corp. (TEX, Fortune 500) for $1.3 billion in cash.

Also on Sunday, Dutch automaker Spyker said it had made a new offer to General Motors for the Swedish car brand Saab. GM had announced on Friday that it would let the car brand die after failing to reach a deal with potential buyers, including Spyker and Swedish carmaker Koenigsegg.

Spyker said late Monday it would extend the 5 p.m. ET deadline on its offer until further notice. GM says it is considering the offer.

In other corporate news, Citadel Broadcasting Co., the nation's third-largest radio group, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Sunday. The company, which has stations in 25 states, listed liabilities of $2.5 billion on assets of $1.4 billion, according to court papers filed in the Southern District of New York.

Economy. No economic reports were released Monday.

World markets. European indexes closed sharply higher.

Currency and commodities. The dollar rose against major international rivals Monday.

Crude oil for January delivery fell 89 cents to settle at $72.47 a barrel.

Gold for February delivery fell $15.50 to settle at $1096.00 an ounce.

Market breadth was positive. On the New York Stock Exchange, winners beat losers by about five to one on volume of 564 million shares. On the Nasdaq, advancers topped decliners by two to one on volume of 1.1 billion shares.

4:30 pm : Early buying spurred strong, broad-based gains among stocks, but action quickly steadied so that the broader market spent the session moving sideways in a narrow range. Though that didn't make for much excitement, the advance was interesting in that it held firm despite a strong bounce by the U.S. dollar.

Moderate weakness in the greenback drove the Dollar Index to an early loss of 0.3%, which helped win support for stocks and keep all 10 major sectors in positive territory for the entire session.

The greenback gradually turned its loss into a 0.4% gain, though. That marked the fifth straight advance for the Dollar Index. The move undercut commodities considerably, sending the CRB Commodity Index from a 0.6% gain to a 0.5% loss, but it didn't disrupt the gains made by stocks.

Even with commodity prices pressured, materials stocks still booked a gain of 1.2%. Diversified metals and mining players (+2.0%) were a primary source of strength amid an upgrade of Alcoa (AA 15.73, +1.15) by analysts at Morgan Stanley.

Financials concluded the session as the best performing sector. They advanced 1.5% as diversified banks booked a 2.3% gain after Barron's published an article that portrayed major U.S. banks in positive light.

Meanwhile, continued support for large-cap tech drove the Nasdaq Composite to a fresh 52-week high. Intel (INTC 20.09, +0.46) was a primary leader in that move; it also hit its own 52-week high, thanks partly to an upgrade from analysts at Barclays.

Health care had been one of the better performing sectors in the early going, but scaled back its advance a bit. It still finished 1.1% for the better as participants responded favorably to news that Senate Democrats have come closer to moving past Republican objections to health care reform.

Global pharmaceutical Sanofi-Aventis (SNY 39.07, -0.04) made news this morning with the announcement that it will pay $93.50 in cash for each outstanding share of Chattem (CHTT 93.14, +23.16).

Chattem, which makes over-the-counter personal care products, won some support for smaller consumer staples plays as participants speculated over which companies could also become takeover candidates, but larger consumer staples stocks weighed on the sector. Consumer staples stocks, as a group, still settled with a 0.8% gain.

Walgreens (WAG 36.61, -0.03) was a primary laggard among consumer staples stocks. Though the company announced this morning better-than-expected adjusted earnings of $0.52 per share for the latest quarter, it wasn't enough to please its investors.

ConAgra (CAG 22.03, -0.13) had a similar struggle. It also brought in better-than-expected adjusted earnings of $0.52 per share for the latest quarter, but even went on to increase its expected earnings for fiscal 2010 to $1.73 per share, up from $1.70 per share. That still wasn't enough to win it favor, though.

Despite the relative weakness of a few consumer staples stocks, the broader market booked a solid gain. Nearly 90% of its components were able to stage an advance. Such support for stocks drove Treasuries sharply out of favor. In turn, the benchmark 10-year Note dropped more than one point to send its yield to a four-month high. It settled with its yield near 3.68%.

Advancing Sectors: Financials (+1.5%), Consumer Discretionary (+1.3%), Materials (+1.2%), Energy (+1.1%), Tech (+1.1%), Health Care (+1.1%), Telecom (+0.9%), Consumer Staples (+0.8%), Industrials (+0.7%), Utilities (+0.4%)
Declining Sectors: (None)DJ30 +85.25 NASDAQ +25.97 NQ100 +1.2% R2K +1.3% SP400 +1.4% SP500 +11.58 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1814/1.84 bln/914 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2193/1.01 bln/844

3:35 pm : Strength in the dollar resulted in lower commodity prices this session. After spiking overnight, the dollar index sold off through the early morning hours. The market opened as the dollar index traded with a modest loss. However, the dollar index ripped for the rest of the session. It is currently near a session high, up 0.5%.

Continuing the recent trend, precious metals sold-off as the dollar moved higher. Precious metals closed near session lows as the dollar index was near a session high. March silver found some support at the $17 level late in the session. It ended 1.7% lower at $17.04 per ounce. February gold broke down through the $1100 level without hesitation. It ended 1.4% lower at $1096.00 per ounce.

Crude oil also sold off in the face of the strong dollar. The move lower comes ahead of a much anticipated OPEC meeting tomorrow where the cartel is expected to leave production levels unchanged. February crude oil closed 1.0% lower at $73.71 per barrel.

January natural gas futures sold off in the morning, before the dollar took the broader space lower. Losses this session come after natural gas futures had been up over 30% in just over a month.DJ30 +83.59 NASDAQ +23.26 SP500 +10.94 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1750/1.51 bln/983 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2136/720 mln/889

3:00 pm : Despite some rather listless trade, stocks in the broader market continue to sport impressive gains.

Utilities stocks have pulled back a bit, though. The sector now trades with a 0.5% gain.

Treasuries have extended their slide. The 10-year Note is down 37 ticks so that it yields 3.68%. It hasn't yielded more than 3.7% since August. DJ30 +93.34 NASDAQ +26.03 SP500 +11.88 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1770/1.37 bln/952 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2194/650 mln/826

2:30 pm : Stocks continue to drift sideways. During the last four hours the S&P 500 has traded within a range of just four points.

Though that sort of action isn't something many traders become excited over, it is interesting in the sense that the steady gains have come in the face of a stronger dollar, which completely reversed a loss of nearly 0.3% to a gain of 0.3% against a basket of competing currencies. At the moment, the dollar is up 0.7% against the Japanese yen alone, and up 0.6% against the British pound. DJ30 +103.01 NASDAQ +27.12 SP500 +12.89 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1750/1.28 bln/950 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2223/608 mln/793

2:00 pm : Commodity prices are sharply lower from where they were earlier this session. The CRB Commodity Index had been up 0.6% at its session high, but it is now down to a 0.5% loss.

Both precious metals and energy prices have dragged down the CRB -- gold prices were last quoted with a 1.4% loss at $1095.40 per ounce, while oil prices were last quoted with a 1.3% loss at $72.35 per barrel.

The turnaround among commodities has come in conjunction with the greenback's gain, which now stands at 0.3%, as measured by the Dollar Index. DJ30 +99.76 NASDAQ +25.54 SP500 +12.41 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1730/1.18 bln/958 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2177/566 mln/821

1:30 pm : Stocks have made a very gradual and very slight drift downward from their session highs, but gains remain handsome in the broader market.

Amid the generally steady support for stocks, Treasuries continue to trade lower such that the benchmark 10-year Note has dropped nearly one full point to lift its yield above 3.65%, which marks a four-month high.

Meanwhile, the dollar has extended its upturn so that it now sports a 0.3% gain against a basket of foreign currencies. Should the gain hold, this will mark the fifth straight advance for the Dollar Index. DJ30 +102.71 NASDAQ +24.72 SP500 +12.75 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1715/1.09 bln/968 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2174/528 mln/820

1:00 pm : Stocks have made their way to strong gains on the back of a broad-based buying effort. The upbeat tone has been present since the opening bell.

A moderately weaker dollar helped entice buyers to extend last week's strong finish and give stocks a strong start to the session. The dollar has since recovered to sport a 0.2% gain, but the positive tone among participants has persisted.

Despite the dollar's bounce, commodities stocks and materials stocks have been some of the best performers in recent action. That has the materials sector up to a 1.4% gain. Alcoa (AA 15.78, +1.20) has been a primary leader for both the materials sector and the broader market, thanks partly to an upgrade by analysts at Morgan Stanley.

Large-cap tech continues to be a driving force behind recent gains in the Nasdaq, which hit a fresh 52-week high this session. Thanks partly to an upgrade from analysts at Barclays, Intel (INTC 20.24, +0.61) has provided the tech-rich index with leadership this session. Shares of the semiconductor giant hit a fresh 52-week high in the first few minutes of trade.

Health care stocks have also been strong as managed care providers (+2.7%) and health care services stocks (+2.5%) benefit from news that Senate Democrats have come closer to moving past Republican objections to health care reform. The health care sector is up 1.6%.

Chattem (CHTT 92.95, +22.97) has been one of the biggest movers this session. The stock has surged since it was announced that Sanofi-Aventis (SNY 39.29, +0.18) will pay $93.50 in cash for each outstanding share of CHTT.

In other deal news, Terex (TEX 20.40, +1.19) has agreed to sell its mining business to Bucyrus (BUCY 55.42, +4.58) for $1.3 billion.

Walgreens (WAG 36.69, +0.05) and ConAgra (CAG 22.03, -0.13) both announced this morning better-than-expected earnings for the latest quarter, but ConAgra went on to increase its outlook for fiscal 2010. Though the two stocks have traded in mixed fashion this session, their announcements helped this session's news flow maintain a positive slant. DJ30 +110.95 NASDAQ +26.43 SP500 +13.37 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1673/998 mln/992 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2189/485 mln/798

12:30 pm : The stock market recently moved a leg higher to set fresh session highs. The move comes on the back of broad-based buying, rather than any sort of individual leader. Accordingly, all 30 stocks in the Dow currently sport gains. DJ30 +117.60 NASDAQ +27.40 SP500 +13.77 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1686/918 mln/987 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2207/443 mln/764

12:00 pm : The stock market has started to drift sideways as it enters a narrow trading range. Strong gains for the 10 sectors remain intact.

Of the 10 sectors, only industrials (+0.9%) and utilities (+0.8%) sport gains below 1%. Dominion (D 39.43, +0.30) has been a solid performer among utilities stocks; the stock was downgraded by analysts at Wells Fargo, but analysts at Morgan Stanley that recently initiated coverage on the stock gave it an Equal Weight rating. DJ30 +108.60 NASDAQ +26.09 SP500 +13.21 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1711/819 mln/953 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2196/394 mln/754

11:30 am : The mood among participants remains upbeat. Buying has sent the Nasdaq to a fresh 52-week high.

Thanks partly to an upgrade from analysts at Barclays, Intel (INTC 20.28, +0.65) has been a primary leader to the tech-rich index this session. Fellow large-cap tech outfits Apple (AAPL 198.88, +3.45), Microsoft (MSFT 30.72, +0.36), and Cisco (CSCO 23.74, +0.41) have accompanied the semiconductor giant -- both INTC and MSFT have hit fresh 52-week highs this session. DJ30 +111.70 NASDAQ +26.43 SP500 +13.13 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1703/732 mln/932 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2199/359 mln/723

11:00 am : The Dollar Index now trades with a gain of 0.1%, but stocks continue to sport strong gains. The advance has been broad based, too. As such, advancing issues in the S&P 500 outnumber decliners by almost 10-to-1.

At the moment, Alcoa (AA 15.83, +1.25) is a primary leader for the broader market. The stock is on its way toward its best single-session percentage advance in nearly two months, thanks to an upgrade by analysts at Morgan Stanley.

Alcoa has also helped the materials sector reclaim earlier gains. The sector now sports a 1.1% gain, despite the bounce by the dollar. DJ30 +102.10 NASDAQ +22.50 SP500 +12.03 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1647/585 mln/929 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2141/292 mln/731

10:30 am : The stock market opened sharply higher this morning, as the US Dollar Index was trading just above its session low. In recent activity, the Index gained some momentum and pushed back into positive territory, pushing most commodities lower, while crude continued to trade near highs.

The February contract in crude oil will become the front month contract at the close of pit trading today. Ahead of tomorrow's OPEC meeting, where the oil cartel will almost certainly leave its production levels unchanged, the February contract has traded in positive territory all session and hit highs of $75.24 per barrel as pit trading began at 9:00 ET. In recent activity, crude is trading 1.1% higher at $74.16 per barrel.

January natural gas trended higher in its overnight session. After hitting highs of $5.929 per MMBtu earlier this morning, the energy component reversed and fell into negative territory and to recently hit lows of $5.648 per MMBtu. In current action, natural gas is trading just above its fresh lows at $5.66 per MMBtu, down 2.1%.

Precious metals also took a hit on the Dollar Index's recent reversal. February gold traded modestly higher overnight, but fell into negative territory and to fresh lows of $1104 per ounce, while March silver followed along, hitting its own fresh low of $17.17 per ounce. Currently, gold if 0.5% lower at $1106.10 per ounce, while silver is 0.8% lower at $17.175 per ounce.DJ30 +118.88 NASDAQ +25.25 SP500 +13.31 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1702/434.9 mln/835 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2208/227.8 mln/635

10:00 am : Stocks have eased off of their opening highs, but continue to sport strong, broad-based gains.

Meanwhile, the greenback has also gained ground against competing currencies so that the Dollar Index now trades with a fractional loss after it was down roughly 0.2% earlier this morning. The dollar's move has caused a pullback in commodity prices and undercut the materials sector, which now trades with a 0.5% gain after it was up more than 1% in the first few minutes of action.

Advancing Sectors: Health Care (+1.6%), Energy (+1.2%), Financials (+1.1%), Consumer Discretionary (+1.0%), Telecom (+0.9%), Tech (+0.8%), Industrials (+0.7%), Consumer Staples (+0.6%), Utilities (+0.6%), Materials (+0.5%)
Declining Sectors: (None)DJ30 +83.81 NASDAQ +20.19 SP500 +10.28 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1707/229 mln/763 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2097/150 mln/672

09:45 am : The stock market has put together an impressive start that has all 10 major sectors in positive territory with solid gains.

Health care has garnered the most support amid news that Senate Democrats have come closer to moving past Republican objections to health care reform. Health care stocks are currently up 1.6%.

Consumer staples stocks are up 0.6%. Their gain is the most tame of those among the 10 major sectors. However, Chattem (CHTT 92.95, +22.97), which makes over-the-counter personal health products, has seen its shares spike more than 30% in the wake of news that Sanofi-Aventis (SNY 39.18, +0.07) will pay $93.50 in cash for each outstanding share of CHTT.

Amid the strong start for stocks, Treasuries have fallen out of favor. The benchmark 10-year Note has already shed 20 ticks. DJ30 +89.71 NASDAQ +20.21 SP500 +10.52 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1791/146 mln/613 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2156/108 mln/531

09:15 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +6.80. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +9.00. Stock futures still point to a positive start to trade. Better-than-expected earnings from a handful of companies have helped the morning mood, as has news of some corporate buyouts and deal making. The greenback's 0.2% slide this morning has been a source of support for buyers as the link between a weaker dollar and strength in stocks remains intact. The dollar's dip has also propped up commodity prices in early pit trade. There aren't any economic releases to attract action this session, so trading volume could slow, especially after the surge that came in conjunction with the quadruple witching options expiration this past Friday. Trading volume is also likely to slow ahead of the Christmas holiday later this week.

09:00 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +6.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +9.50. The CRB Commodity Index is currently up a solid 0.5% in its seventh advance out of eight sessions. The move this morning has been aided by a 0.5% increase in oil prices to $73.70 per barrel in the first few minutes of pit trade. Gold prices are up 0.7% to $1118.00 per ounce. Their gains come as the greenback slides nearly 0.2% against a basket of foreign currencies.

08:30 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +6.10. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +10.00. Buyers are currently in control in European trade. That has helped send Britain's FTSE to a 1.3% gain. Global banking giant HSBC (HBC) is a primary leader as it rebounds from a weekly loss of some 3% last week. Energy giants BP PLC (BP) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) have also garnered support. The final thrid quarter reading on GDP for the United Kingdom is due tomorrow. In Germany, the DAX is up 0.8% as advancers outnumber declining issues by 4-to-1. Siemens (SI) is a primary leader in the bunch, but Automakers Daimler (DAI), Volkswagen, and Bayer Motoren have weighed on gains. Meanwhile, France's CAC is currently up 1.1%. Energy giant Total (TOT) is a primary leader, while Sanofi-Aventis (SNY) is a primary laggard after it announced plans to pay $93.50 in cash for each outstanding share of Chattem (CHTT), which is a maker of over-the-counter personal health products. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei advanced 0.4% amid support from Fast Retailing and Tokyo Electron. Honda Motor (HMC) was a laggard, though. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was unable to put together a gain; instead, it shed 1.1% amid weakness in financial outfits China Life, HSBC, and Industrial & Commercial Bank. However, Bank of China stood out as it won support from participants. Meanwhile, the Shanghai Composite tacked on a modest 0.3%.

08:00 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +6.50. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +12.30. Stock futures look as if they will extend last Friday's strong finish as premarket participants provide support amid a modest pullback by the U.S. dollar and solid gains in Europe. Better-than-expected adjusted earnings of $0.52 per share from Walgreens (WAG) has helped support the positive bias. Its shares are up 0.9% to $36.95 each in premarket trade. ConAgra (CAG) also brought in better-than-expected adjusted earnings of $0.52 per share, but went on to raise its guidance so that expected adjusted earnings for fiscal 2010 approach $1.73 per share, up from $1.70 per share. Shares of CAG were last quoted at $22.73 each, up 2.6%, in premarket action. There has been a little bit of acquisition news with this morning's announcement that Sanofi-Aventis (SNY) will pay $93.50 in cash for each outstanding share of over-the-counter health product maker Chattem (CHTT). The offer represents a premium of more than 30% from Chattem's closing price this past Friday. Meanwhile, Terex (TEX) has agreed to sell its mining business to Bucyrus (BUCY) for $1.3 billion. Shares of BUCY are up 5.2% to $53.50 each in premarket trade, while shares of TEX are up 9.4% to $21.01 ahead of the opening bell. Outside of corporate news, The Wall Street Journal has reported that Senate Democrats are closer to moving past Republican objections related to health care reform legislation.

06:28 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +4.20. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +7.80.

06:28 am : Nikkei...10183.47...+41.40...+0.40%. Hang Seng...20948.10...-227.80...-1.10%.
