Claims rising back above 1 million. The fed voicing concern of its own about pace and state of the recovery josh, brown, the question today is how long, how long can stocks continue to outrun the economy well, i would argue that stocks have been out juning the economy since 2009 we clearly had an economic recovery that had been accelerated in recent years the longer it went on, but it hasnt come close to what the top 10 of american households by wealth have enjoyed by virtue of being in stocks and real estate as investment how long can that go on for .

That is weird for me to see them talking about it i think he love its, this is the time of his life i also think, and i wonder your thoughts on this. Were in an environment where too many people are pointing fingering at big tech for what are government shortcomings.
