Happy Thanksgiving! This can be an interesting time of year for markets and the economy.

The immediate aftermath of Thanksgiving in 1999 saw the dotcom bubble kick into high gear.

In 2017, of course, young people at the dinner table told their family all about cryptocurrencies, and then a bunch of coins went to the moon in the days and weeks thereafter.

But it’s not just markets stuff that sometimes makes the holiday memorable. Who can forget the oil crash over Thanksgiving in 2014. And of course Dubai World defaulted around Thanksgiving 2009.

This year’s going to be a weird one, since fewer people will be gathering in big groups due to the virus. But the wild action is already here, with stocks soaring to record highs, electric vehicle names of all stripes surging, cryptocurrencies booming and so forth.

With the election in the rear-view mirror, and a vaccine on the horizon, animal spirits are running crazy high.

Fasten your seat belts!
