Good. Varney company is about to begin. David lets get right to your money and there is more of it. Markets expected to open higher as china cuts tariffs on 850 products. Come in, market watcher Keith Fitzgerald. Will we hit 29k or even 30k before the new year . What do you think . That is not as outrageous as it sounds. We are within striking distance of that. We got to have a good broad session, but the lack of headlines that are going to interfere with that is key. I think we will get there. David you think of what has happened in the past year and again, a lot of it had to do with the fed, wasnt necessarily because of trade policy, the fed was pushing up rates, that was pushing down the market, but 6,000 points since a year ago, and i think the bottom was actually more than 6,000 points, when you look at it today. What was happening then thats not happening now besides the fed . Well, i tell you what, this is a real testimony to the faith and inspiration and innovation that drives

China says unless you remove the december tariffs we dont have a deal otherwise. David dietze and kristen anderson, last but not least the wall street journal wealth reporter, veronica daguerre. David i will begin with you. One out of five s p 500 companies have already reported and 82 beating earnings estimates. 63 top line revenue estimates. So far, so good. What do you think . I generally agree with that. Remember the bar was set very, very low. Of course companies forced analysts to push down the ratings so it is easier to beat. Neil i thought i was only one who did that.
