Stocks are working on backtoback negative sessions on fresh concerns about the virus weighing on sentiment. Josh, i feel like the great debate its the reopen trade versus the reality of the virus trade. You have the country wants to get back to business and normal versus the fact that the virus is spiking in some very big and important states. Yeah. I think thats exactly the right way to explain it, scott i think theres a large group of stocks, things like airlines, retailers, we talk about this all the time they seem to be having the red light green light days and then theres the large market capitalization names that seems to be unfazed i think whats interesting now though its not just f. A. N. G. Stocks theres a wider group of stocks that seem to want to go up, almost no matter whats happening with that resurgent story. I think thats what most traders and what most active Market Participants are focused on. Look at name like spotify, this stock at an alltime high. Up 19 overthe last
In march and april. Yeah, and, you know, the market if you want to talk about it being the index certainly is doing that its been steady naturally the most heavily weighted stocks also happen to be the ones that are in th strongest trends they are covering up for a lot of, i think, softness under the surface. Youre not seeing this latest push higher really have the participation of the airlines and all the kind of socalled epicenter sectors that now are under a little more question about a stutter step in the reopening process. I do think the market is trying to be rational about it. Its unclear what would stop these trends, why would apple and microsoft stop going up today when they havent stopped until now except the fact that the nasdaq does look really stretched once again compared to the rest of the market there does seem to be a little bit of frothy speculation happening in some pockets of this market but thats been the case periodically for the last several weeks i guess you wou
The dow toing 25k. Steph, whats the significance of those big numbers we have now been able to get over . Its very positive. It makes people feel better especially if they were buying back in march and april and may. We have been getting pockets of activity thats picking up like the tsa travel numbers look bet per. Mortgage applications up four weeks in a row these are baby steps what this tells me is yes we had a horrific recession were still in it. Its probably going to recover a little bit faster than i initially expected i dont know if its a v but i think april and may are the worst months of the year on terms of the Economic Data and that we are going to start to see an improvement if you do see an improvement and get the economically sense tifr sto sensitive stocks to rebound, thats very encouraging. If you look at financials, they are down 26 on the year industrials are down 26 on the year these things could have a mean reversion and that could propel us higher along with Techno
Hidden in plain sight and why it could happen again. You remember the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission investigating the causes. You decided not only with democrats but the republican appointees. What did you see they didnt . Looking at the housing system and dodd frank im sorry fannie mae and freddie mac for quite a while before i got on the commission. So i have background on what was happening in the housing sector. So i was looking for the commission to look into what happened with fannie mae and freddie mac and the role they played in the housing crisis and ultimately the financial crisis and the commission was not interested in that and they wouldnt look at it to the degree that i tried to interest them. I was just told i was given all kinds of signals that something they would do so i decided i would dissent so the differences with the other republicans came from the fact that my view our responsibility on the commission was to make sure the American People understood what ha
