Looking to end the week on a high note as they shrug off this mornings slightly hotter than expected inflation report. The dow gaining 220 point, the s p 500 up close to 61, and the nasdaq surging ahead 330 right now. Its heading for its best day since february. Its really boosted in particular by big tech earnings. Is alphabet, lets take a look at that. Shares are catapulting to a record high, up almost 10 right now. That comes after posting sales and profit beat. The tech giant surpassing a 2 trillion market cap. This is the first time ever, and its seeing an intraday gain of more than 200 billion. So if that holds, it would be the second largest oneday market cap gain on record for a u. S. Company. Now, alphabet also announced its first ever dividend. Safe to say investors, they are very impressed. Another good one, microsoft. That is attracting the bulls after topping estimates. Its up 2. 5 right now. It all boils down to two letters, a a, i, right . Thats what it always is. The co
Dealt with, but it must be dealt with intelligently. In my view, the best way to address that issue is to understand that Substance Abuse and addiction should not be treated as a criminal issued, it should be treated as a healthrelated issue. That means we need a revolution in this country on how we do Mental Health treatment. Right now there are people who are addicted, who are strung out, who would like to get help, but there is no treatment available for them that they can afford. And in addition to that, what is true, although it is very scary, is that walking the streets of america today, right now, youve got many thousands of people who are suicidal, and some are homicidal, and we all know about the terrible Mass Shootings that we have seen. In my view, what our approach should be is to say to anybody in america in Mental Health crisis you can get the treatment you need today, not six months from now.

House and senate . The house going to conference was a little unexpected. There was a rules Committee Late last night to get the house to go ahead and go to conference with the senate. But they come the lawmakers in the senate and the house arrive at very different places in conference. The republicans in the house ve approved a 622 million emergency aid package. Actually its not emergency its just supplemental offset which means they have spending cuts elsewhere to pay for the measure. On the senate side they have a 1. 1 million emergency package which means they are are no offsets. Thats a huge difference. Additionally the house has included some language in what they are bringing to conference that would lessen permitting requirements for spraying pest sides which had triggered some objection in both the house and the senate. Both parties in both chambers have emphasized that they want to get something to the residents desk quickly. Thanks very much for being here today. Thanks so m
