Wouldn't it be nice?

Good Morning Folks, 
It appears we have a nice open with some follow through form last week. Oil also appears to be displaying continued strength. As I said in this weeks video we will likely continue our Santa Clause Rally>> just be careful out there since volume is likely to be substantially less than normal as we move into the holiday.

Stocks on my radar this morning

ACHN wild move premarket off of pr, PSTI pr decent looking daily has some resistance around 2.66, ARIA active premarket can be a pop and flopper don't chase it, TASR pr new 52 week highs off pr and upgrade, RUSL had some pr about China offering support for the Ruble, OPK continue to grind higher looks like it may want the 10 dollar holla, KTOS contract win and an SA article last week active premarket
