It seems to me as though hardly not goes by that there is some story that i see either in he newspaper or on the evening news about the opoid crisis. Thinking about that today and leafing through the front sure enough, on the page of the metro section of the Washington Post is a story how of maryland and virgi
By a fraction of a percent crude oil, this is the one weve been watching very, very closely. We have wti down by 1. 6 brent it down by 1. 5 . This is quite a rebound from the lows back in june. We are up by 12 from june 21st lows so staggering move in just a short amount of time weird. Weird to see the dow so strong and the nasdaq so weak thats been happening more the nasdaq had been stronger on a relative basis then the rotation happened. I dont know what it means. Maybe its healthy this is scary and not healthy. Maybe the meeting is good, but the reason for it frightening. The u. S. Requesting an emergency u. N. Security Council Meeting today after north korea tested an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. The missile could put all of alaska, so mainland i dont know if you call that mainland, but pretty close late yesterday the u. S. Military said u. S. And south korean troops fired missiles into the waters off south korea in a show of force back that way apparently it can reenter the
Mario, we talked about the banks on this show almost every day since the election and for good reason, they have soared. What do you think of this particular call that may be the skys too blue . Look, the answer is the following. As goldman is a subset of whats going on in the entire ecosystem of stocks. After the election capitalism beat out socialism as a way to thats good for people who want to have assets protected under the rule of law. Now were putting back innovation and creativity. Goldman is terrific at that. Secondly, the notion of the whole notion of fiscal stimulation to augment Monetary Policy which is slowing down. Goldman is going to benefit from that. In addition to that, corporate love making goldman will benefit from that. In addition to that, tax reduction, reg reforms, individual taxes coming lower, Corporate Taxes coming lower. A lot of Little Details in between. I dont see any reason to not think it will do quite will over the next few years. Is answer is i bought
20,000 is in our grasp and the nasdaq, which has been red hot lately, has been led by the biotechs . While the market ultimately finished higher, dow giening 99 points, s p claiming 0. 28 , the averages, the averages got clobbered midday after the president elect held a press conference where he called for more price Competition Among the Drug Companies. Thats the exact group that had been powering the markets most recent leg up. It was a stark reminder that even though trumps probusiness, that doesnt mean hes pro every business.

Subject of job creation, and youve got the makings of a real rally. Dow gaining 187 points today. S p vaulting 0. 73 . Nasdaq only up 0. 54 . Again another record high. Look, love them or hate them, if you believe that Business People know how to create jobs i dont think thats such a huge leap then having them sit down with the president and give him ideas will help the bull market calls. The meeting also helps create ate a level astability to offset the recent volatility that had many investors fretting about their portfolios. Look, the contrast in president obama is so stark on so many issues, not the least today, where the new president powwows with rich Business People and talking about deregulation meant to rein in the banks which were the enemy in the Previous Administration for many years.
