Yeah, President Trump started promoting mask wearing on twitter. A major shift and the stocks have been fitted from a reopening economy are higher today and thats how the dow jones gained 160 out performing the s p 500 but trouhe nasdaq. the cramer covid19 index is out. The recovery stocks are in at least for today our country has the worst coronavirus outbreak because we turned wearing a mask into a cultural issue the president tweeted a stark black and white picture of himself wearing a maface mask wh the explanation saying many say its patriotic to wear a face mask when you cant social distance there is nobody more patriotic than me, your president. End quote. Well, kind of the only one why does it matter because President Trump is the de facto leader of the anti mask faction. Thats why he spent months refusing to wear a mask in public and framing this as an issue of personal freedom. That emboldened people to take ridiculous stands against mask mandates invoking the first amendment
Down jim, it was nice to hear becky give you props for the caution you have telegraphed in the past couple days. Watching your twitter feed it sounds like you are on alert for vying option at month end.

Tenyear 91 basis points one more way in which the economy in this case has confounded some and the markets had it right yeah. There wasnt a day that we came in and we heard from very big people, rich people, Hedge Fund Managers saying this is ridiculous its fanciful, that the rally itself was uninformed. I admit, look, there were parts of me that said are you kidding me, every morning the airlines will be up big when very few people are flying . It turns out that the hiring took place in the areas that we felt were most devastated. Retail, travel, leisure. And its remarkable because when youre looking for 20 and you have all your scripts all set to talk about the beginning of the next great depression, and then you get the actual numbers, it kind of knocks your socks off. You struggle to think why did we hear so much woe is me the other side says we heard it because 13 is still unfathomable, but its certainly more fathomable than 20 so, i dont know its good.

You might get a chance to by this midland quality phone company, yes, you heard me, once we scrutinize what will probably be bountiful cash flow from the time warner acquisition. We also hear from the one retailer that may disappoint us, amazon it used to be cv sfrmt but i think cvs are fine because they went and bought aetna. Then alphabet reported i cant remember the last time alphabet reported a clean quarter. Its always confusing. After the minoritysohot numbers from twitter, i fear another headscratcher who matters now . I car
