Closing Thoughts
One question is whether North Korea extends its 2-day streak past Jan 8. All 4 of its stocks closed higher, so how many of them rise next session is one way to tell.
Beauty & Cosmetics and Kiosks have each lasted one day so far. The next session will show whether either theme makes it to a second day.
