Claman if. [laughter] ashley ill take the mcdouble any day, charles [laughter] hey, i tell you what, we love it. Thank you, my friend. Have a good weekend. Im ashley webster, of course, in today for liz claman. Welcome to the final hour of trade. Stocks, well, just a little mixed. Just over 59 minutes left in the session. The dow up, as you can see, about a quarter of a percent. On pace, by the way, for an 8day winning streak. Thats pretty good. The s p up about a tenth of a percent, but the nasdaq down a tenth, and the russell also down almost 1 . It is a mixed, muted bag, thats how were going to put it. But for the week, the dow, s p 500 and nasdaq all remaining in the green as rate cut optimism continues to boost buyers. Theyre not going to give up on that. Todays Economic Data though throwing a small wrinkle in that bullishness. As you can see, the markets this week all in the green, some modestly so. But you know what . Consumer sentiment fell to its lowest level since november as

If my enthusiasm flagged at all, if there was a negative news story, a downgrade, a price target cut, or even if the stock was just heavy where sellers didnt seem to care what prices they sold their stock at, shed deem it vulnerable and kick it out. Whether i liked it or not. Sell sell sell sell sell it was brutal but necessary. We had to contain our losses they were looking over our shoulders. And when it came to dead money forget about it. Shed say lets boot it and come back at a better time, there are other stocks to own that can win. You see this attitude a lot from people that come on our network, dont you . Theyre running money aggressively they can vacillate constantly i did the same thing
