The Daily IFG Report FOOL GLOBAL WIRE by Robert Sheard (MF DowMan) LEXINGTON, KY. (November 29) -- The Investing for Growth cellar-dwellers took center stage today as Claire's Stores and Nike recovered some lost ground in one of the lighter trading days of the year. What's normally considered Black Friday for those poor souls who start holiday season shopping today is a virtual footnote for the stock market. The Thursday holiday and half-day schedule means no one's going to show up except under severe duress. Most brokerage houses were working with skeleton crews and the volume was understandably thin. Nevertheless, chalk it up as a victory for the bulls today as all three indices rose. Today closes out trading for November, but keep in mind that the growth screens we track here extend from the first Friday of one month to the first Friday of the next, so the December updates for Investing for Growth and the Unemotional Growth screens don't actually occur until December 6. In the meantime, though, depending on the U.S. Mail's delivery of today's Value Line issue, look for the current rankings and performance updates sometime later tomorrow. If the holiday delays delivery, I'll update the rankings as soon as possible. Stay tuned and enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!
