Teaser: week ending 4 Jan.
For some of you, this is the only chart of mine you’ll read all week. A top 10 is all you want; the too-big-to-digest reports just make your eyes glaze and your fingers twitch toward the mouse to browse somewhere else.
I’m cool with that.
There is so little movement in either top 10, week to week, though — so let’s take a thicker slice off the top.
