A very good wednesday morning to you. Thank you for joining us. Were halfway there through the workweek, the day before thanksgiving. Mike has a look at the commute. First that forecast. Meteorologist kari hall has been tracking that. How is it looking, kari . It looks pretty good. We are all quiet across the bay area. We started out with Cool Temperatures and patches of fog particularly in the north bay. A live look in dublin, it will be cooler but comfortable for the middle of the day. We do have some cool mornings ahead. The dry weather does continue. Well talk about that in the forecast coming up. Mike, how is it looking driving through some of those foggy areas . Yes, folks might have trouble looking around them. The bay bridge for a reference, very light traffic flow. The note as we look at the north bay 29 to highway 1 up to healdsbu healdsburg, thats that warm amber blob where the fog has registered. Lower visibility there. Really no slowing on this map. Back to you. President

Time to look at some of the lesser known tech names and the smaller teches that are just getting started. We have two of those on the show today. A cloud air company is up big after reporting the latest quarter, and big commerce is finding its footing after its first earnings report. If youre an investor out there and you have gotten motion sickness from teslas stock lain changes.

So those are constructive developments that you obviously want to see. But we told you about Boris Johnson doing better. People forget another thing were dealing with is the ceo of morgan stanley, he is okay right now, he is recovering from the coronavirus. These are bits of news that we tried to get out to let you know not all the news is grim as they continue to look at what a good time to gauge when making kind of slowly get ourselves into weaning out of the lockdowns parade were a long way from that and a lot of folks to say this is a generous timeline, we will get both sides of the story. Right now we know the healthcare tax force led by the president is going to be reporting a little earlier than normal, about an hour from now. Like fermented tea it all up.
London and it works really well. Sometimes not so much but in some cases i agree with your priorities isolation, thank you as we kickoff the final hour of trade stocks are on pace for the best threeday performance since november Dow Jones Industrials up 108 points the s p getting 41 the nasdaq 150 points russell 2000 the biggest percentage of 25 points.

And what almost always happens is that ive got lots of little projects bubbling along, magazine pieces or things im investigating, and something becomes so interesting, it consumes me, and i get to the point in my head where i think, wow, this is such a good story, i have an obligation to tell it.
