I donennt think this is didnt where do we think earnings are trending, with so many guidance pulls, we got more out of levi last night how do we know what a reasonable model for this years models are . Both pinterest and levis rallied, why they said we cant forecast, but we have good strength in the core business.

Do we buy the s p retail etf when we get a decent number from, i dont know, Governor Cuomo . No, its kind of ridiculous. Were simply seeing, though, the flip side of what happens when people were downbeat as they were last week when the president s team told us some pretty ho
Because the Senate Just Passed another 500 billion bailout. Bailout, lets say of the last bailout. As we quickly ran out of money thats why the dow surged 457 points s p soared 2. 29 nasdaq 2. 81 house of pleasure Payroll Protection Program was supposed to be for Small Business, right . In the end a ton of that money ended up going too big businesses, Public Companies that was a back rub and sing i feel like a chump. I guess i should be more cynical about politics, just trying to help Small Business. However, if you ask me, that wasnt really the big story of whats going on.
