Thinking about over the weekend . Next week, which is going to be just gigantic we have everything from ibm, we will bookcase ibm on monday and American Express on friday, both will be challenging and i think they could determine things. Carl, i have to tell you, 8 30 santelli comes on and gives you that housing start number, then diana talks about how there are not a lot of houses. I sit here and i think the fed has done a magnificent job, what can they do . They can take rates down to the point where, yes, maybe jpmorgan doesnt make as much money, bank of america certainly doesnt, but people are buying houses and thats whats been working in the stock market this week is the housing trade the lows, the home depot the deere small tractors, that stuff has been flying off the shelves and thats exciting. It was not, of course, the cloud, saas stocks and cybersecurity. Theres always a bull market somewhere. Right weve been taking note of all the upside reannouncements today. Today its daim
Gain tackling your questions on the rally ahead. The trader radar, what are you buying and selling today, josh melissa lets start with what is popular on robin hood according to robin track. That the Spartan Energy acquisition nio popular not only today by the way but saw the biggest gain in popularity for the week netflix, amazon and microsoft. As for Spartan Energy, lets dig into names there is report it could do a spak that would allow the ip ocho plan to make a vehicle everybody wants a piece of the market phil wouldnt be surprised if this happens then lets move on to fitbit, another name to watch.

Up for an eighth straight day. The mega cap tech names making the new milestones josh, the big five as we say amazon, apple, facebook, alphabet, microsoft all but alphabet hitting the new highs today crossing 6 trillion as you flag end market cap for the first time ever. They, amazingly, are now equal to the next 24 largest s p 500 stocks combined. You flag that. Yeah. What do you make of it . Yeah, so my research. We put this up last night. Just incredible when you think about the companies that make up that next 24 were not talking about small potatoes were talking about jpmorgan which is a 300 million cap and pepsi, coke, mcdonalds. Its really wild and these stocks now are just going parabolic. I think i want to maketwo points very quickly. The first is that this is not unprecedented. In the mid 1960s just two stocks General Motors and at t made up 14. 5 of the total market cap of the s p 500. And the top ten names in the mid 60s made up about 50 of the market cap so, we have seen t

I guess at the end of this book, that i realized after a long period of sort of thoughtfulness know until the wilderness died figured out. It is an american ghost of these divisive periods. Danielle we are very dynamic. Demographically, geographically, economically and we are constantly reinventing ourselves not just those individuals but as a n
370 but did end the day lower. It was the first down day we have seen in five trading sessions well watch what happens today we have a fed meeting coming up. That will be the pla is to watch as we hear from the fomc later today. The 10year just below. 6 a month. This has been the best month for the dow in 18 years because we are coming off of march because that was the worst year for the dow in 22 years. You see these huge swings first down and then up what we are watching in the equity markets the one thing about 10 crude, every dollar it goes up, we could go back to 30 every day. Lets use the dollar every day that might not happen. Equities do seem to do better. Thats a lot of room to go. Maybe. But sooner or later, thats not good either.
