		We are heading for a fork in the road, my Fast Money friends. Either America is cheap, ripe for the picking and ready to be bought hand over fist, or we are in for some serious pain. You know the story line: weak dollar, record commodity prices, credit crunch. This is not some tired headline by lazy journalists; this is fast becoming a new reality. With each write down comes another question: is there more to come? Of particular note next week will be results from BX, FIG. These two companies have been a proxy for private equity activity. Do they see the credit markets easing? More disturbing this week was the fact that Tech names, personified by both hyper-growth companies like Google and Apple, as well as their senior Tech names such as Cisco and IBM, rolled over. Has the slime spread past the financials? The Fast Money will be watching. The Fast Money will also be watching a slew of retail results slated to be released next week, including the nations largest retailer, Wal-Mart. Will the consumer save the stock market? Will record oil be the grinch who stole Christmas? Remember, an open market is one in which you can make money, and we will try to do that all next week. I hope you join us. . -Dylan If you have questions about The Final Trade or suggestions for Fast Money, please send an email to FastMoney@cnbc.com
