You have this dichotomy where were seeing some strength in the markets. I think were a little off today but youre seeing some read through or look through in the market to say, hey, were going to see optimism on the other side however the economy hasnt quite caught up yet to the markets i think we are going to need and we need to focus on making sure that the legislature realized we still need stimulus, we need the consumer thats twothirds of this economy back in full swing. Not getting it. Not right now what does that mean if i tell you were not getting it, were not getting it any time soon. Soon is relative as well, right . Theres a lot of levers that can be pulled here i think that were getting things together and, you know, i wish we could get it during december at some point youre right, it does not look like it
Bloomberg surveillance. This is what the markets are looking at. The focus is firmly on the vaccine trial data out of moderna yesterday. The focus is of course on the fact that we could have a vaccine quicker than expected simply because it is the second trial data that is better than what analysts and watchers were thinking. This global stock rally powered by hopes that the vaccines will bolster Economic Growth was paused, partly because investors are weighing the spread of the virus.

Inla jumped more than 10 after hours trading after the announcement that it will join the s p 500 index on december 12. In other asset classes, treasuries drifting with the dollar. Lets get straight to the bloomberg first word news. Heres leighann gerrans. Good morning. The Trump Campaign is withdrawing a key part of its lawsuit against the Election Results in pennsylvania.

You know when you deal with a lot of the companies were looking at, the price sharing multiple will be decided by the notch up or down by the president ial election. I think you dont think over the last two yesterdays trading session, potentially what were going to see today, the market is already making a decision in terms of who it thinks the president is going to be and what the composition of senate is going to be. Yes, it is. Youre talking about workers in rooms as though theyre make the decision, the decisions have been made, theyre simply doing an envelope, taking a ballot out and putting it in a pile so i
Amazon also boosting, well, going up, of course, and apple, man, youve seen them both over the last day and this morning perhaps no exception, later today, we get the apple phones, prime day has kicked off, carl it is a big day. And as it was for yesterday, in terms of the stocks.

Give up by mega cap growth and shift into value, wasnt i that was the strategy being communicated over the last five days i dismissed that last week mega cap growth is where investors should be. You should not be selling your oldin holdings and reinvesting in the lagards. This is where youre going to see the continued Revenue Growth, this is where youre going to see the correlation from work from home, stay at home and this is where moving forward youll find your best retur returns.
