That retaliation comment that mentions boeing. Did not mention apple, but apple is acting terribly did not mention Applied Materials. Had a great quarter, stock reversed badly its a surprise. I dont understand whats happening with boeing. You have this you have the ceo, who is blasting the clients, then you have china who doesnt want boeing, and a queue for boeing planes that is dissolving i dont like anything im hearing about boeing nothing. You mentioned the editor for the global times, he does say based on what i know, if you block further, we can add you to the unreliable list, and he says qualcomm, cisco, apple as well as suspending the purchase of boeing planes. This is terrible. The china haters and china lovers should look at our retail sales and say, you know what maybe we have to shut up a little bit here. Maybe were not as strong as wed like and we should hold out until were stronger ive been the hardest line on china. Everybody knows that im harder than peter navarro. But t
Results for its vaccine, phase one trial in humans. Weve got a lot more on this coming up in just a moment. But this is a very positive development. When this was announced the stock rally that had already been in place gained a lot more ground. One more positive indicator for you. Thats the price of oil. We are back to 32 a barrel. We are driving again, we are emerging from a lockdown, demand for gas and oil up and up goes the price. Key indicator. Now, look at this weekend. All across the country, people were out and about, enjoying the weather and enjoying their freedom, too. There has been some relaxation of lockdown rules in 49 states. Connecticuts the lone holdout. They open up in just a few days. Bottom line, the economy is opening up and in most places, people feel willing to shop, eat out and socialize. Its hard to see how the authorities can reverse course and clamp down all over again. The genie is out of the bottle and the Moderna Vaccine news is the icing on the i can kcak
Numbers, 8 30 this morning. We knew it was going to be bad because bricks and Mortar Stores have been largely shut down, and it was bad. April sales down 16. 4 in april after dropping 8 in march. So heres the market, with just minutes to go to the opening bell. Red ink all over the place but not as bad as it was. The dow off about 180, 25 down for the s p, 121 down for the nasdaq. Thats of course inspired by apple, which is way, way down this morning. What were looking for is how fast we can rebound on the other side of this really bad Economic News. Thats the other side of the coin. The great reopening. Which gathers steam this weekend. There are only a handful of states that are still trying to enforce a complete lockdown. This will be a test of our willingness to get out and about, our willingness to travel, eat out and shop. This is important. We need to open the economy. We need to get back to work. This weekend, i think its a prelude to memorial day next weekend which is the unof

Nobody wants a second wave. The market starts the week on the upside again. Investors like the get back to work trend and there are several forecasts of imminent recovery for the economy. Secretary mnuchin says there will be a rebound july, august and september. The dow is looking at a 200 point gain first thing this morning. Thats close to 1 . A nice gain for the s p, close to 1 . The nasdaq will be up over a half percentage point. Now, the reason the nasdaq is up, because of this. This week, many Big Tech Companies report their financial position. Strong results expected because the virus lockdown has a more limited effect on these companies. Premarket, most of them are up. But look at oil. No joy for the drillers. They are looking at 12 a barrel and the worldwide glut shows no sign of easing. Over the weekend, the price slump claimed another victim, diamond shamrock. The drillers declared bankruptcy.
