But we will be told to proceed with caution and dow closing for the first time in history over 30,000 the question tonight, are we headed yes, thats right, are we heading higher and higher . There are positives. The president ial transition is under way. We have three coronavirus vaccines ready to rock so, is the next 10 move higher and higher or are we headed lower and lower . Well that song, thats a miserable song thats why we chose it. Please dont at me on twitter. In the list of bullish things we talk about, the peaceful transfer of power as being a bullish thing. You would think that would be a given. I find the market took that as a positive today fascinating. I will be the first to say in terms of the Broader Market, i have been dead wrong we have had individuals stocks we have done a good job with Broader Market not so much we are so over it in terms of valuation, euphoria, the things that can go right, not just the head winds out there despite it has bnsecause i been market we
Arizona for First Time Since 1996 and thats where we will begin this morning as the president continues his legal challenges today. President elect biden winning the state of arizona, thats according to nbc news decision desk overnight further cementing his victory in last weeks election biden now holds 290 electoral votes, to trumps 217. Georgia and North Carolina are the ones that are still too close to call, jim but if you put those two together, even flipping those for the president would not be enough yeah, look, carl, this matters tremendously there was a lot of uncertainty in the last four days that perhaps the president wouldnt leave the white house, the legal challenges would go on forever, december 13th would come, 14th is the last day, and there would be no concession about the electoral college. And this kind of makes it so that it is less likely, plus the attack on fox, believe it or not, made people realize maybe there is a second life, maybe a station that will be owned
Nasdaq declined. 82 there is only one thought. Good, they all got a chance to buy. Not long ago on days like this we say oh boy, i got to get out of here while it is getting good who knows what it is going to happen with this thing it is going to roll over now we often see pull backs like this as opportunities that are too precious to swander. How do we explain the new mindset . I think because we broken the tyranny of the indexers. When the fed says something positive or when we get solid employment number. Either way, we were in the throw to these big macro events. They control everything. Not anymore. These days macro does not matter very much. And etf buyers have stopped reacting to this stuff instead they react to the opportunity so when stocks come down, these people step up and actually start buying, make it much harder to have a hideous selloff you know what there is nothing new about this less lock steps opportunity mindset. This was the old new normal of the index funds 20 ye
Data from the late stage kile of its Covid Vaccine and could reveal that data on how things work very soon were keeping our eyes on shares of southwest the airline saying it sees a deceleration in revenue improvements for the rest of the year, carl jim, well start with the balance between these covid numbers and the expectation that winter is going to be tough. But got to say some of the encouraging headlines out of curavac today saying that this might not be something we need every season because the mutation peers less frequent and more stable at basically refrigerator type temperatures. Look, im convinced that the people evolinvolved in this, i n well get good news from all these companies. Havent stopped the times. I expect good news from moderna. I expect good news from j j. I speexpect good news from glaxs behind, but astrazeneca. Here is the problem, carl, i keep thinking what happens, when do we get it when do we go to walgreens and just get it . And will everybody get it . I j
Came on our air and said they were bullish, in part because everyone is so bearish each one took turns explaining how those bears would turn into bulls, propelling stocks higher. Buy, buy, buy. Just one little problem when one strategist says everyones bearish, thats a listen up moment when two strategists say everyones bearish, you might get a little suspicious. When three bigshot strategists say everyone is bearish, you got to figure the consensus is wrong. We dont have too many bears we have too many bulls and maybe thats why the averages rolled over today with the dow tumbling 317 points, s p sinking 1 , and, by the way, things were a lot uglier for the dow in the early afternoon you see when most investors are bullish it means there is no one left to buy. They have plenty of facts on their sides. Everything from low Interest Rates, massive earnings, liquidity, i would let any of them manage my money if i were allowed to have money managed.
