Was up by better than 5. 7 also watching whats been happening here with the treasury market in the United States. Keeping an eye on those things and youll see that right now at least it looks like a ten year is yielding 0. 689 just below that 0. 7 that we had the last couple of weeks. What was that i dont know. Im trying to explain this. I could make up a bunch of reasons. Because were reopening its the same thing over the weekend. New records were hitting the states where they were talking about more than 10,000 cases a day coming in and here you are watching the markets this morning saying yeah, okay. I was just listening to Worldwide Exchange and by the time he got done talking we should be at 10,000 on the dow look at whats happening and this, that, gaps here that are it can all end badly.

Squawk alley. As you just heard, stocks are continuing to move higher today although off of the highs of the morning. The s p is up about 0. 6 the nasdaq up about 84 points. On track for the fourth week of gains for the major averaging and today it is that reopening trade back in the drivers seat today. It is it is retail names as well at the same time we dont see a buy fur indication it is a shift to more of a focus on e commerce. Amazon is up 1 . And facebook is up better than that that to me is interesting. Walmart is a stock that has done well prior to things opening up. It is also higher. So there is a mix. I think there is general positivity, larger stocks in general are doing better, but it seems like the market is reacting to not just opening up versus not, but maybe a sense that the economy is starting to find its footing. It is such a great point, john it is names like micro soft, adobe, some of the big cap tech names. So it seems like today, at least, this rally, the breadth

Down jim, it was nice to hear becky give you props for the caution you have telegraphed in the past couple days. Watching your twitter feed it sounds like you are on alert for vying option at month end. You have could be cognizant of the fact that two days before july 4th the holiday are the two probably most strongest days in the entire year. I do think theres still too much froth you can watch nvidia today, there is a love affair with nvidia and the analysts which includes me. That one has to go up. The love for nvidia is so strong that you have to say, okay, that is your thats your bell cow here but i do think, again, that and, david, youve seen t there is that cohort of people who keep coming back to the airlines, keep coming back to the cruises, keep coming back to the tankers and those are the weakest part of the economy. It is, and for a reason you know the reason. I mean, look at the map, right thats really what you have to do at this point look at the map, jim weve been talkin
Very good at talking to strangers. I was struck by how many of the kind of contemporary highprofile controversies that we find ourselves in come down to the same problem, that two people who didnt know each other very well attempt to communicate and fail or attempt to understand each other and fail. Bernie madoff, people had conversations with Bernie Madoff and never understood who he was. The Jerry Sandusky case at penn state.
