Happy Anniversary!! 

Tomorrow will mark the one year anniversary  of this website. So, why am I posting this today? Because tomorrow I will leave early in the morning for a family visit to sunny southern California (this never ending Chicago winter has driven me out of what is left of my mind). I will take the rest of the week off to rest and refresh and *gasp* not think about the market.

Seriously, folks, I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude to you, Dear Readers, for reading The Liss Report in ever increasing numbers. I cannot understate what a motivation it is to write every day knowing that more and more people actually read this stuff.

Later this month there will be a roll out of a new and updated version of this site and I welcome any and all feedback and critique. Being the Conservative that I am, I am normally adverse to change but the new site will be an improvement over this one. Once the new site is up and running I would value any feedback or suggestions you may have.

It's been one heck of a year. I certainly never thought the Bull would run this far and climb this high. Good thing I was primarily teaching and not trading, that's for sure.

Just the same, having said that, prudence alone suggests that all of you out there use exchange traded options to hedge the risk of owning stocks. Just 5 years ago the Dow was half the price it is now.

As Mark Twain said, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes".

See you next week!
