Tweet us cnbc fast money. Lets start with a strong start to the week for the markets. In fact, recordbreaking close for the nasdaq tech leading the way it has done so often guy, your take on todays rally. If we snapshot today, guy, Half Way Point of the year, the dow is down 8 or so the nasdaq 100, up 21 , almost a 30 differential will that be repeated in the second half of the year . Well, first of all, its great to be with you you know, im a huge fan of yours. Ive mentioned that number of times. So. Thanks for hanging out with us this evening. Thanks for having me, guys. Im hard pressed to believe that you can come anywhere close to having that same kind of out performance in the second half but i have to say, i didnt think it would happen in the first half of the year so who am i to sort of speculate on that.
