Were going to have a look at the sectors and the stocks that could still be poised for growth in this ongoing and still a covid market as we say, carl, with cases at highs in many states yeah. Indeed though, jim, although there is a lot going on this morning, got to start with the chip story you made the wires by suggesting that xilinx may not be ready to sell. I had the ceo on in august, hes so excited about all the new markets that hes going into hes talking about video, live video streaming hes coming into, auto exposure. The problem is every one of those dove tails perfectly with advanced micro i can see the ceo saying all the areas we need to be strong in, xilinx can give it to us i also see that victor, when he was on, was saying, this is new for us, were just doing this.

Because we are riding the rails. Why now could be the perfect time to get on board with the train stocks stocks pushed higher again today on renewed hopes that a stimulus deal will finally be on the way. They closed out their best week since early july the strength was broadbased semiconductors, home builders, retail, transportation stocks. All of those hitting record highs in todays session but we are about to kick off earning season as well lets pose this question to you, steve grasso how are you positioned heading into a week, few weeks and maybe a couple of months full of micro economic catalysts i was a little toerlz staeart the rotation into value tech now that we see chances of a biden win are increasing, you dont want to be in an inflationary environment you dont want to be in tech with a biden regulation because there is a Regulatory Risk you will have inflationary risk and cap gains taxes are going to double you want to sell your winners now.

Its the fed on a day where the fed presented the monthly heati lly meeting, surprise we heard endless chatter how the stock market is in a bubble of the feds making. After a good day, the dow gained 160 points and nasdaq fell to 1. 35 . You need to know that i think this is totally nuts yeah, right.
