Todd horowitz, chief strategist is here. Good morning, todd. Good morning, lauren. Lauren are you worried . No. I think that look, i think were in the very early stages of a recession, lauren. Again, they happen. And were going to have a recession at some point and they dont just show up one day. A recession starts with manufacturing numbers, starts with changes in employees, starts with company ceos starting to liquidate company stock. They start very small and dont announce theyre going to start and then a year from now or six months, whenever it shows up in full bloom, theyll say were in recession. We already started that. I think maybe the adp jobs number may show that as well. Lauren youre saying its creeping up in the data. Adp comes out at 8 15, expected to show 140,000 private jobs added in the month of september. What if on friday when we get the Big Government jobs report and we look under the hood, we see that wages arent increasing as fast as they were. Is there anything youre looking at at in particular that would really, really worry you at this point in Economic Cycle . Yeah, i think if you look if wages are not rising, i think thats going to be a problem. I think if the numbers start to change, if we see if we miss the number badly and of course the street will interpret that, well, the feds going to cut rates, so that puts us in a different position but the end of the day were seeing a weakening economy globally and you cannot avoid it when everybody else is doing the same thing and the fed is obviously theyve lost tir mind as well. Lauren i want to get to the fed but speaking of rates, theres a story in the wall street journal that people are going into auto dealerships and theyre taking out car loans of seven years. Does that concern you about the health of the consumer . You know, Lauren Lauren seven years, your car is broken and youve poured money into it. This goes back to when they had 0 financing and they created the debt but they never got paid. Theyre lending money on a depreciating asset that nobody will be able to pay for. One of the countries is were a buy the month society. Six months from now, a year from now, the loans will not be he satisfied. You cant take a seven year auto loan on things that will fall apart and break, which the country is built on. Lauren todd, thank you for joining us. Hopefully we get a surprisingly positive read in a few hours on jobs. Lets hope so. Cheryl lets talk about banks.
