Markets are closed on Thursday and will be open for half a day on Friday. Friday after Thanksgiving is traditionally the lightest daily volume of the year. Trading should return in earnest on Monday. Not only did the broad indices and sectors move up strong on Wednesday, many individual stocks flashed entry signals on Wednesday.
