Meg is starting us off with the late sgles bristolmyers has been seen as vulnerable to potential activism of even takeover. You basically pinpoint the day this started if you look at it stock price over the last year. Look back to august. It had Clinical Trial results around august 5th that were very disappointing to the street on big lung cancer drug that investors saw as putting it as a slight disadvantage to competitor merck in the space. So carl icahn reportedly taking this stake, reported by the wall street journal yesterday. And Jana Partners wrung so new directors out of bristolmyers yesterday and 2 billion buyback. Icahn apparently think that bristolmyers is business and pipeline make it a good potential takeover targetnd in addition to opt divo it has several multibillion drugs as well as Rheumatoid Arthritis drug.

Because i sold vxx on friday. What john said resonated with me. They could turn hard and fast and they did. Get near top tick. I think that you have a free pass until wednesday morning. Thats when it gets dicey. You are stealing the hillary rally. I didnt think it would be this strong. They said yesterday 50 up if hillary wins, 50 down if trump wins. So i do think it continues through tomorrow. It gets dicier from this level on. Then after that, i have the same issue. I will be lightening up on exposure that i add. I actually dont think im going to add more. Im content to play with what i have. You still by the way, you are still in that margin of error for the polls where anything can happen. I went back and looked at old polls. You have seen as much as a 6 change in termless of the winners and losers from the polls into the final tally. All 30 dow components are higher. The eem, we havent talked about them much. Theyre up 2. 5 today. Gold is down. What on the board is exciting to you
It . Who better to ask than the executive producer of the Television Series homeland. We want to know what you think. First, i want to give you mistake on the unfolding controversy over the release of army arrest gent Bowe Bergdahl. We saw his actual release for ourselves today. Squinting, possibly to adjust his eyes to the daylight. The picture of five years in captivity. The video obviously meant to be a propaganda tool for bergdahls captives. A soldiers life saved. That video got me to thinking about brothers in arms. About how the greatest generation conducted themselves on the battle field, but more importantly, what they did once they returned home, if they were lucky enough to return home. Theres been a lot said about ser janet bergdahl. Even from some of the men who served alongside them. They have every right to speak out. And maybe theyre right, but the official evidence doesnt show that just yet. And Bowe Bergdahl cant yet speak for himself. His father says hes having troubl
Homeland. Gideon joins me exclusively. Use the askdon. First, the controversy over the release of Sergeant Bowe bergdahl. Bergdahl pale, gaunt, squinting, possibly to adjust his eyes to the daylight. The picture of five years in captivity. The video obviously meant to be propaganda, a propaganda tool for bergdahls captures will hopefully shift to a soldiers life saved. It got me to thinking about brothers in arms, about how the greatest generation conducted themselves on the battlefield but, more importantly, what they did once they returned home, if they were lucky enough to return home. Theres been a lot said about Sergeant Bergdahl, even from some of the men who served alongside them. As i said last night, they had every right to speak out. In fact, they fought for it and maybe they are right. But the official evidence doesnt show that just yet. And Bowe Bergdahl cant yet speak for himself. His father says hes having trouble speaking english. The greatest generation created the no m
Hours later, a Republican Health care plan collapsed. A pair of republican senators pulled their support killing the republican plan to repeal and replace obamacare. Now the republicans are just talking about repeal. Good morning, welcome to morning joe. We have columnist mike barnicle, economic analyst steve rattner, senior political analyst for nbc news, Mark Halperin and from the associated press, julie pace. The president said youre going to have such Great Health Care at a tiny fraction of the cost and its going to be so easy. That was october of 2016, joe. And Mark Halperin has said all along the greatest risk to donald trump, the greatest risk to the republican majority may not be the russian scandals, it may not be the indiscriminate tweeting, the unpresident ial behavior, it may not be the question of checks and balances and throwing aside every sacred tradition of the United States government over the past 240 years, it may be the inability to get things done because Donald T
