With a holiday-impacted week behind us, we hope that you are ready for the next few weeks of busy news. Because starting in the back-half of December, the world is going to slow down dramatically. Make sure that you are [URL='https://twitter.com/equitypod']following the show on Twitter[/URL], and let’s get into it! [LIST] [*]No tech IPOs this week, though we will see [URL='https://www.kiplinger.com/investing/stocks/17494/next-week-earnings-calendar-stocks']earnings from select SaaS companies[/URL].

[*]And black Friday online sales [URL='https://www.wtnh.com/top-stories/cyber-monday-set-to-make-new-record-as-black-friday-sales-decline/']dipped[/URL], though we have a guess as to why.
