Cloud business well dig in to those results. Thanks. Checking the markets right now the dow is up 136. The s p up 14. These are about a third of a percent. About half the gains we saw earlier on, while the nasdaq is hanging on to its rise, and its been leading the pack all day. As tyler mentioned, check out amazon up 10 , nearly 150 billion in market cap added after its Earnings Report last night its also boosting other cloud stocks like data dog and snowflake, which are among them. Apple falling after posting sales decline for the Third Straight quarter there you can see there is snowflake and data dog apple down 3. 5 .

The important thing is nobody is that worried about apple down 3 its the jobs report bottom line is job growth is slowing down but not too much thats what kelly means with goldilocks it was afine needle to thread, but they really did it on this jobs rep
Last night i told you that whenever we have an intraday rebound from a big decline based on pretty much nothing, as what happened yesterday around 1 40 to 1 43 p. M. Then you could have a chance for a real run the next day. Ive staked my career on being able to spot bottoms and tops. And that intraday pivot often signals a real sea change in the market.

Heres what jpmorgan says about that economy todays comments appear to open the door for others on the committee to
Down for the week. Interesting intraday movements here, mike, what do you think is going on theres been this undertow of weakness, small cap stocks underperforming. Average stock made no progress, also a lot of focus on high yield debt the credit markets have been a leader, theyve been weakening for days seems its caught up to the headline indexes not sure if theres much more to it than that, other than pentup selling in september and october when were normally weak and skated higher through it i wonder if it has to do with anything thats been happening in the bond market weve been looking for clues weve been seeing a lot of buying in treasuries yields have come down from last week, almost around 250 and now people are looking at high yield and some of the selloff were seeing there that pinched yield curve got more anxiety, another excuse to do more selling. Doesnt take much to get peoples attention these days. Media is the big story at t and time warner, that merger facing potential p
