Than f. A. N. G. My acronym for facebook, amazon, netflix and google. When they try to lead, nothing else follows. Thats why we could rally as hard as we did with the dow roaring 190 points. The s p 1. 24 and the nasdaq jumping 0. 98 . Sure, it might be a one day wonder. No it could be. But wonder of wonders it did happen. I often talk about the setup of a given day. Typically when im squawk on the street i like setup or i dont like the setup which is the case for ages until today. When i said, holy cow this setup could be a good one. Too many people got negative. The markets oversold. And like i said last night, it would take tremendous discipline to buy something. Remember the what i gave you, which is a sign that were arriving from the short term bottom. I want to give you a blow by blow of what defines the setup for me. And why todays so positive versus the unrelenting negativity we have gotten used to lately and the whole setup will strike you as being counterintuitive. It all sta
Our tenyear is at a seven month high as durables crash estimates. Earnings from dow components dragging us lower in the premarket. Chipotle sinking double digits a big miss on results last night. Amazon unveils delivery inside your door with a new Smart Security camera. We will fill you in. One day after another record high for the dow coke and boeing beating with earnings this morning. Jim, theres a lot to get to several companies with a socalled triple play meaning they beat on the top and bottom line and raised guides aance. I think that visa doesnt get enough chatter by anyone its been maybe one of the most consistent if not the most consistent company in the Financial Service and tech business once again, it blows things away i was afraid that this would be one of those where it blew it away and people would yawn but it was too good because its double digit we are seeing some quarters i went over 3m ynesterday it was a clinic, it was so good. Some remarkable numbers. We could let
Is more hope than entrance. What should people be thinking about . The way that the market is trading. I have a couple of thoughts that ill get to really quickly. I asked the producers to make this chart for me. I wanted to show you rsi on the industrial average because its at the highest its at the highest levels that weve seen really going back 20 years. Now if the for the dow at these levels. We saw it in 2003. Frequently that it will be at the beginning of a leg higher even though it does mean a shortterm pullback. I think people need to not lose their head when this thing goes off. I mention at the top this notion of this rotation thats going on. You know, hour by hour in some instances. Day by day. Out of sectors into others. Some stocks that are up, you know, a couple of hours later. They are down. Money starts to move elsewhere. Jim cramer said the following this morning. I want to go through it. He said im quoting. By the way, the rollover in tech is incredible. The rotations
Jim, what tung b about this. 12 month base case, s p 500 target. 2700. Its a bold call. The number that i quibble with is 12 months. I think thats more of a 24 month figure. For that to happen within 12 month, youve got to see a lot of clarity on trumps policies. Particularly tax reform. Unless the price of the index, but i think its a 24month target. Not a 12month. Steve, they say it has less to do with trump in term of the rally. Hes just turbo charged it. They say the cyclical upturn that began a year ago has less to do with trump and more to do with the Global Business cycle that bottomed in the First Quarter of 2016. Trumps simply the mechanism to take it to the next level, if you will. I agree. If trump didnt come out with the tax plan, keeps pushing it back, i think the market would still move. The economy was in great shape when he was elected. Hes benefitted from that tremendously in his presidency. The Global Economy is also in very good shape, so as we set off, youve got to
10month high. Mashlgts are chasing histories this morning. Dows within 79 points of an alltime intraday high, jim, looks like we might get it closer to the open than some thought. Its interesting. Its the makeup. The makeup is extraordinary. It is completely trumprelated. This expansion in the banks is not just because of regulation, but its also because of Interest Rates going higher but also because people feel loan growth is going to be better, people feel lower taxes. So that group is a leader. That group has been when that group leads, carl, thats a freight train. Its always been a freight train. One remembers the 9192 come out of recession led by the banks, led by bank of america, what you saw there was a juggernaut. And those who said, hey, that cant last. Well, theyre not in the business anymore. Everyones weighing in. Icahn with wapner yesterday. Donald trump this morning saying he sold all his gold. Hes long the dollar. Long materials, short u. S. Bonds, short italian bonds.
