I apologize for not writing since the week-end of Thanksgiving. The combination of relocating my family and the heavy work load that has been provided by my clients has left with me little time to update the blog this past week.

Rest assured that I will send you the monthly market insider newsletter (if you are on my list- contact me at cjeannot(at)mrica.com if not) end of this week with all updated news up to the beginning of December.

I appreciate the understanding as I work hard to find time to update the neuro blog.
