Mike the s p 500 down almost 3 today. About 3. 5, 4 from its highs just two days ago. Look at a chart.

Twoyear is now trading, but that doesnt seem to matter. The majority of debt in europe all undergoing this powerful rally, despite the fact that we are going to see horrific unemployment number in about an hour and a half.

Economists now estimating 22 million jobs wiped out in the past month. Joining me now is carl riccadonna, bloomberg chief economist. It is hard to put these into perspective. Help me out. Morning. D these numbers point to immense disruption in the u. S.

When the stock moves on it and it did so tim, whats your take on the action of wells fargo and whats your take on a possible m and a deal. Well, this kind of news, first of all, this rumor was out a couple of days ago in the market and the Market Participants didnt do anything with the move because we talked about the down move.
