They are getting louder and louder, including one from aoc, but she thinks we should just pay people to stay at home. I want to get reaction from congressman andy biggs about that at the bottom of the hour. All that and so much more on making money. Charles it feels like the markets marking time because its marking time. Right now, the s p has moved less than 1 for the week. The nasdaq is up about 1 for the week. The biggest story has been the continued celebration in the oil patch. The blue wave, remember, didnt happen and that was the big play there. The other side of that coin is utilities and thats why they have been actually slammed since the election, including this week.
