Three handle on the s p. There is no such thing as a triple top yep thats in play the fact that basically no such thing generally as a market that kind of repeatedly tests that upside ceiling and doesnt punch through. I think you look below the surface and say what would cause this move to stop aside from the fact that we are all looking at what are acknowledged to be some resistance levels, the 200day moving average, some exhaustion, Technical Levels out there the leadership stocks dont give much back. A lot of comeback in the most cyclicly attuned stocks at the center of this economic crisis it seems like sentiment is while you can see some speculative froth perhaps in the call numbers and some of the day trading data in general, it doesnt seem like people are overcommitted to equities.

There would be no injustice if this market fell 5 , 10 , but it is not showing you the signs, aside from some wear and tear o
We have a quorum. Vice president taylor thank you. In the last few weeks, we watched the barbaric murder of george floyd by vile, racist Police Officers. We watched Ahmaud Arbery get gunned down by white spr supremacists. Study after study shows that white people and black people are not only more likely to commit crimes, they think that we feel less pain. We have a less nuanced feeling, and less worthy of protection, so we often have to fend for ourselves. Racism is definitely a police problem, one that is as old as our entire nation, but lets be clear no ones off the hook. Racism is an america problem. Trayvon martin, Ahmaud Arbery were killed by citizens. The overwhelming number of hate crimes are committed by ordinary citizens.

Ill give you a hint its not the economy driving the bus. I know the markets incredible rebound the last two months seems totally out of sync with whats happening in the rest of the country. Wall streets become divorced from main street and were told thats unsustainable the thing is im not so sure this morning on squawk on the street, i kicked this idea around with david faber and carl quintanilla. David was incredulous i thought we were seeing a garden variety selloff, not some reckoning mass sell off in unemployment. Another 2. 4 Million People filing for jobless benefits this very week. Remember we get those claims thursday morning lets start with the positives that help stem the bleeding today
States, again launching these initiatives right now to really unwind this process. By the end of the week the country as a whole will be 50 freer, if you will, or less locked down when all of this started. So that is a Big Development here. As people get back, a lot of them look forward to the memorial day weekend which they can see themselves going to beaches and the rest. The trend is share friend. Certainly concerner of wall and broad a very big trend at that. Well pick that apart with technology action, retail action, oil action. That has been dancing today. It is interesting to point out right now the dow and the s p and the nasdaq, forget about the nasdaq, already in positive territory on the year, it is not more than 5 from alltime highs, my friends, alltime highs. When you look at the dow and the nasdaq, they are respectfully down 13 , 9 , from where they started, when all of this was careening. Think about that, how much of a comeback the markets have seen.

Refuse to go back to work you will not be eligible for those fat unemployment checks. Unintended consequences when you make more money not to work. Well get reaction from governor Mike Huckabee himself. That and so much more on making money. Charles stocks are higher as connecticut becomes the last state to partially reopen as number of coronavirus cases are drifting lower, and number of people getting back to work drifting higher.
