Climbing 8. 86 how do we interpret the market is the market heartless in response to the plea of the protesters is the Market Making judgments about the difference between violent protest and passive resistance i know many people wish it would. They want the market to be part of the debate. They want it to play a constructive role in the dialogue over racial ee qualiqur go down to express empathy for the troubled times were living through. Thats not how it works. The truth is the markets blind because it has no eyes its deaf because it has no ears its a convenient abstraction, not a personal opinion investors make judgments until recently nobody was investing with an eye toward making the world a better place whatever that might be now there is a Younger Generation of investors with hearts in their heads. I share the sentiment. For the most part people pick stocks because theyre trying to make money we buy stocks at companies, Good Companies with good longterm prospects. Mainly ones th
14 points. What is going on here . First of all, there are clear signs the lockdown is ending and the economy is expanding. Theres been a big jump in Mortgage Applications and a surprisingly small drop in private sector jobs in may. We are going to check the other indicators for you. They proiare pointing towards growth.

What some of the states are doing, they can open, but its very difficult some of the rules of some of the states are hard core when you look at them, you think ppp versus, geez, those are the rules . Took some ppp before were seeing it . I think its not going to be nearly as easy as people think i do wonder if our show were located in austin if we wouldnt be saying those crazy new yorkers, but we live here. We live in new jersey. I think that its going to be a little bit more difficult for a company to stay in business unless they have great Balance Sheets, and are able to ride the waves. Look at norwegian cruise its a city on a a foreignflagged city on the ocean. I see situations like that, im like be careful. Its not all roses when youre opening. Right additional headlines this morning about pending layoffs, reportedly pending layoffs for the airlines in october. Bankruptcy news, whether its hertz or a few other companies now. The markets looking past a lot of that. I think the marke
Only given consideration to more recently because of the phenomena. Well end up meeting the ceo a couple of months or whatever after we have made an investment it puts greater burden on us for Due Diligence and for the backgrounds of the people who are involved and the experience. Its probably going to end up with some good results actually. Thats interesting. Weve had some discussions on air about the degree to which lack of persontoperson meetings means can you close on a house, can you close on a transaction, but youre saying its not necessarily a deal killer it definitely is not. I think that will be for early stage companies. The Later Stage Companies where theres more substance involved and theyve been around longer is a bigger problem.
