Do you dunk the entire covid cohort or stick with it on a dow when the rose 183 and the nasdaq gained 1. 8 the reaction to zoom Video Communications after it reported a good quarter that wasnt quite good enough for wall street. This company practically sin none mouse with the new normal and look ban on 2020 as the year of zoom so when you see it down 15 its alarming. You got to wonder what that means for the rest of the stayathome stocks. The answer, nothing. Just because zooms insanely high growth is decelerating that doesnt mean the trend is over in fact, id argue it never had gone away because this year has shown us millions of jobs can be done better from home. No need for that central office. Why go to meetings to negotiate or sign documents when you do everything over the web and save millions, maybe ten, maybe hundreds of millions in travel, hotel, dinners, zoom, i mean thats how the 39 billion s p global ihs market deal was consummated as we heard from Doug Pederson on mad mone
The ones that go up all the time and barely ever go down on rare occasion when theres a marketwide pullback like we had this morning s p edging up, nasdaq gaining 3. 7 from a very ugly opening. You have to buy these up stocks. Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy hanover fist. In a market like this one that has a hard time staying down to begin with, even with a weak jobs number or a president that seems determined to overturn the election, hes not going anywhere, the up stocks just wont quit back at my hedge fund where i compounded 14 for 14 years id sit down with my staff and say, okay, give me your best stocks, the up stocks, the ones that never seem to go down. I want the unstoppable ones. I dont even want to know what they do, i just want them the staff would be incredulous there would always be a young whipper snapper saying, whats an up stock . Thats not our usual methodology. I adopted a no more mr. Nice guy attitude, like id ever been nice so i just demanded they give me their up stocks or
Moo its biden versus trump trump stock, trump stock. Both of which are going in surprising directions. If you you thought the election is over, the president is trying to do an end run around the results and fighting tooth to nail today the dow lost 222 point [ screaming the s p 500 declined points at 8 . Nasdaq dipped 2. 2 hey. I know it didnt feel like it was so bad but if you were in the nasdaq except for a couple of names, wow. They crushed it. Why dont we start there with next weeks game olympian . On monday morning we are coming in and, sadly, im betting we pass the 200,000 mark. Thats right 200 thousa,000 thousand cases an the virus is hurting business. If not monday, tuesday, wednesday, a question of when, not if i know there is a sense that we have had a big vshaped recovery which is terrific. But our inability to stop the spread is putting a crimp on business orders and retail sales. Just yesterday, work day, reported a solid quarter we have the coceos on the show but they me
Out deals, including today market ral llies the s p climbs 7. 8 and nasdaq soared 1. 39 thats why i keep telling you that you got to stick with stocks that dont need stimulus. All day they show them on air is fantastic. The white house is negotiated with Speaker Pelosi though it will have to pass the senate and Mitch Mcconnell says maybe they have interested in some sort of stimulus you throw in the election next month and you got a chaotic occasion there is too much name calling i love to be proven wrong. Main street absolutely needs the money. The stock market does knot know what main street is doing and Speaker Pelosi and secretary mnuchin, they both know that today the president seems to know it, too until they symptoms catop calli, always skeptical while the tease keeping the bull up in the air today. I dont think if we dont get something come on monday, i do expect a selloff. It comes up too far and too fast we are due to a pullback historically if something does not develop here
