The japanese have the equities, reits, they bought a whole bunch of investments. Why are you such a stick in the mud . I guess im a traditionalist. Look at the wealth creation. Yeah. Ill leave it to bob to thank you. It might not work, bob. Weve got to get back to the real economy. Weve had too Many Companies report better than expected earnings, revenues that have been this much better, and give negative forward guidance. Thats got to turn. We complained of a lot of things. We havent put the earnings on the table. In the meantime, weve got low inflation and a Global Economy thats growing moderately, and Central Banks that are, back to your point, giving us all kinds of ammo. Thank you. Weve got to go.

Dream. And the national lead, a bomb cyclone cant be a good thing. Frigid cold whips down into the u. S. As millions brace for an arctic blast. And its not even thanksgiving yet. Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to the lead. Im jake tapper. Were going to begin with the world lead and a flurry of conflicting accounts on the fate of the evil mastermind because isis. The coalition seems disturbingly underinformed, shall we say, about where its bombs are going and who they are or are not hitting. Air strikes took place targeting isis leaders near mosul. Whats not been confirmed is whether the head of isis, abu bakr al baghdadi, survived the strikes or if he was even in that convoy to begin with.
