Disclaimer: this is not an investment site.  Do not make any investment, financial, career, travel, job, or relationship decisions based on what you read here or think you may have read here.

Market:

• pre-market trading, futures holding; all major indices solidly in the green
• most major indices could open at all-time highs
• buzz: China, China, China
• QCOM: up 6.17%
• CAH (Cardinal Health): up 3.5%
• AAPL: up $1.29 -- completely unexpected -- shouldn't we see a bit of profit-taking?
• BRK-B: riding the coattails of AAPL; up $1.50
• T: even T is getting into the holiday spirit, up 6 cents -- trending toward $40
• D: down a bit
• XLNX: not often seen trading in pre-market, but today, up over 1%
• did we say, China, China, China?
• TSLA: up $9 yesterday; up another $3.41 in pre-market trading
• XOM: down so low, it can only go up; up 60 cents in pre-market today but was down $1.60 yesterday
• DIS: up $1.04
• OXY: wow, fell below $40 yesterday; I think Warren has 8% bonds, but not he stock;

LA Times: the Mormom family killed by the drug cartel had it coming.

Houston ISD, not independent any more: to be taken over by the state. Link here. 

No link; if interested, google it.

Investors with 20-year horizon: this is a most incredible time for investing -- see disclaimer above --

• if long term, 20-year horizon, you think oil will be "dead," now is the time to start re-balancing your portfolio 
• if long term, 20-year horizon, you think oil will still be in demand, now is the time to accumulate shares in solid oil companies, many of which are paying great dividends
• it's hard to believe but XOM is paying over 5%, as just one example
