Please welcome yuval levin and john meacham. Hey guys, how are you . [applause] how are you. Good morning. Im the old guy up here. So history as you all know is about words. Thats why youre here. The stately rhythms of the declaration of independence. The cadences of the sconstitution but its also about sounds.

Its also about music. Music is one of the most universal expressions. You can listen to a song with which you might disagree.

Absolutely, its as sure as the patriots were carrying their swords and their guns, they were carrying their pins their pros and their poetry along with them to move this revolution forward. Henry David Thoreau once wrote when i hear music, i fear no

Groups on the the move, materials l strongly but besides that, some materials at 1. 2 and energy as the biggest drag, even though if you look at the individual groups, the point or the percentage moves are not that significant, not many groups moving 1 except for that material group. Individually in terms of the biggest gains on the s p 500 index point wise, we have apple rising after report from a taiwanese newspaper that iphone seven orders to suppliers are higher than people were anticipating. Theo getting that details of its bid from bayer for 122 a share. Thisll also extending the gains that we saw for that stock last week. On the downside, weve got exxon
Have hung in there and on a day like today, the dow only dipped 23 points. The nasdaq advanced 1. 4 . They get sloppy. So i want to give you some lessons in sloppiness to help you maintain your stock market table manners. Apple which was written off at 93. At the same time some chalter made its way around the floor of the stock market, netflix. Now long term viewers know that i urged apple to buy netflix because the earnings stream want so good. I watch all 90 netflix shows on my apple pro. Make life so easy for us. Wouldnt it . As for time warner, terrific. They would fit the Revenue Service stream i adore. Im talking about hbo. But if you at home bought either netflix or time warner when the stocks were running this morning, off the unfounded takeover rumors, you need to get your head checked and call timeout. Go get an ice cream. I mean really. Youve now done the textbook definition of sloppiness. Next example, trading off the price of oil every day. Ive been saying over and over ag
