Dow plunging and s p plummeting 2. 78 . And the nasdaq nosediving 4. 11 . Its tempting to try to learn something from the big bone crushers of the past so we can apply those bone crushers to the future two are alike but there can be similarities take the. C do. Com bust. The endless run from 1998 to march of 2000 followed by a rapid meltdown, what is happening here now, now that the nasdaq is 10 from size, im hearing about the buzz all day okay, the beat of 1998, the nasdaq stood at 1,585. 1,585. It roared to 5,100 by march of 2000 and plummeted to 3,155 by may. Fast forward to 19 year ago and a round trip to 1 ,585 it is your Worst Nightmare of course, there are horrendous sell offs. The 87 crash averages cut in half in a few hours time the financial crisis, dallas laid the waste from 14,000 to 6500 and the covid crash dow from 295 to 68 to above 18,000 march lows. Nasdaq sank. But its that rebound from the march lows thats drawing comparison to the. Com era the nasdaq surged 82 from
Unraveling the dow gained 131 and s p inched up but tech, yes, the tech heavy nasdaq declined. 60 . I say get used to this this kind of volatility is now here to stay i think september is the month this whole new investors who believe that stocks only go up, i think they get a rude awakening. Sure, long term stocks do go higher they have. They tend to do so but not long run, were also dead short term, when they go down, they go down hard. Which is why you need some cash on the sidelines cash king to treat these pull backs as buying opportunities and not be afraid. With that in mind, whats the game plan for next week . Housing is among the strongest groups thanks to low mortgage rates. Thats how lenar could rally 40 . I dont want to hear this gain is fake because the Federal Reserve is propping up the economy. When you take that money to the bank, they dont care. In our reports on money and after the close and unfortunately, i think the easy money here is made even though i think its a
Could a bield card d could a wild card derail that run. That chart is a thing of beauty. And later, home depot, what is lighting up to the tune of 80 gain in just three days. Wow. A lot to do. Were going to begin with these r red hot markets and quest for Higher Ground. Investors keep investing but not much for s p 500 closing just shy of a new record, four points off, but believers keep believing. Goldman sachs raysing the target to new wall street target to new high 3600 so as the world keeps turning, will the markets ever get to Higher Ground brian, welcome back its great i dont see you, but its great to hear your voice, again doing gentlemans work im a little upset we didnt play the Stevie Wonder version we played the chill yi peppers. Version. Flea is a huge fan. So shout out to flea to answer your question, why not. 3600 for s p 500, 5. 5 from here market seems to go up 5 every day. Notwithstanding. So its reasonable with the fed at their back every piece of bad news is digested
The nasdaq up 1 and s p 2. 7 and dow declined 86 points were about to get a set of u e unbelievably set of big numbers but frankly, its horrifying if you think about why they are thriving this week we hear from walmart, from home depot, lowes, and target and if their stocks get hit for any reason, you have to buy them because these major operators are up against general merchandisers, hardware stores, Sporting Goods and lumberyards that cant compete because they were deemed essential and i fear they will never get lost customers back, not with prices big guys charge. The winner haves so many advantages over the little guy im amazed there is any competition whatsoever i feared that there wont be and thats driving me nuts i love when these big household names go higher, but i hate when the reasons they are going higher their Small Business competitors are being wiped out. A lot of these smaller outfits have been able to hold their own before covid, but now the big guys have crafted pheno

I think you heard it with the last guest who appeared on squawk box at the very end of that show. We are entering what conceivably could be a
