12/22/2006 Morning Market Comment

Posting will be limited today ahead of the holiday weekend.

Stock futures modestly higher... with durable goods printing higher for November, prices flat, consumer spending higher.

Half day of trading for most products in Chicago will mean a very quiet day for Wall Street.

The big mover is nat gas... slumping almost 3% this morning. First day of winter here in the NY Metro features partly sunny and a high of 44! I don't what it is with my fascination with the World Sunlight Map... but the Earth's Shadow is now at it's largest in the northern hemisphere http://www.die.net/earth/ and the promise of summer's return will begin a little later today.

I'm out the door this morning for more pre holiday activities!
