Data out this morning was up slightly joining us for the entire hour is from ariel investments, pushing back against the earnings theme youre feeling good . Id say im better than the market is feeling. I think the market is looking for soft earnings, maybe 3 decline in earnings. Were hoping that we might get a positive number, but not as bad as the markets think lets drill down on all of the big stories. Lets start with you, bob. All three major indices at new highs. And let me show you, a nice group of Retail Stocks hitting new highs. Walmart, home depot, dow tjx, autozone. A small group of Consumer Staples breaking out to new highs. Proctor and gamble, colgate, starbucks a 52 week high for them the Payment Systems, mastercard, visa, visa the biggest gainer of the year up 36 . They have been on fire recently.

Whats amazing to me, it doesnt matter, direct listing, ipo, whatever you want to call it, this year ipos are tending to price toward the high end and open above this is happening here if we take 33 to 36, pick a number 34 if it might open, thats 30 over the Reference Price average ipo in my experience, maybe would open 10 higher on a good day weve seen ipos routinely opening 20 h

Wall street we desperately want nvidia to predict the sales. Give us some metrics to allow us to figure out if its worth 3. 1 trillion or 2. 7 trillion or 1. 8 trillion like alphabet or amazon. Instead of the 2. 2 trillion its worth now. Yeah, we want jensen to tell us how nvidia will cure cancer while beating Climate Change and breaking down pla
