Maria i wonder if its the expenses that are turning investors off or drill down, home depot shares down about two third of 1 , cheryl, thank you. Joining me to talk more about markets and investing right now is er shares founder and chief investment founder joe, ryan payne and Senior Writer at the wall street journal, Jon Hilsenrath, great to see you, guys this morning, thank thank o much for being here. Great to be here. Maria stock is down. Right, theyve been their revenues are up from last year, this is not really a surprise for many of the analysts because they have been strong Second Quarter now Third Quarter record profit, record earnings, i wouldnt be surprised to see the stock tick up through the end of the day. Its flat, but this is a very strong, very powerful news. Not a surprise because theyve been doing this all year long. We will see retailers come out later this morning. We are seeing strong results so far this month. They are up 25 year to date and this month they are up 5, 10 and kohls is coming out later this morning is up 22 this month although we have to recognize they are still down about half year to date. Maria yeah, i mean, retail giants walmart and kohls will certainly give us a good window, they are reporting thirdquash earnings in about an hour. Jon hilsenrath, the consumer has held up well throughout this, isnt this right . Jon absolutely. Theres what we have pinned up demand. A lot of people have been stuck in their homes, they havent been going out to eat and they have savings tucked away and also massive infusions from the federal government earlier this year. If you kept your job in the crisis youve probably been saving more money and spending to do. If you lost your job, of course, youve got challenges. You know, i think the big question for me is what happens going into Holiday Season. Id love to hear what our other guests have to say about this because the whole Holiday Season has been disrupted. I would think we are not going to see these, you know, crazy black friday lines forming outside of retailers after thanksgiving. Maria yeah. Jon i think theres pinned up demand but how do people go out and express pinned up demand. Probably big for Online Retail all over again. Maria great analysis, jon. Joel, what are your expectations there . What do you think the American Consumer does in this Holiday Season as jon made a point about long lines . We are seeing retailers coming up with prechristmas sales, they are doing a prior to thanksgiving and already trying to take away some of that some of the demand that is being pinned up as your last guest said. We are probably going see walmart with blowout earnings with sales. Theyve been doing it all year. Kohls which probably had the weakest to have 3, home depot, walmart and kohls, kohls will be coming out very soon. They did a very good job in terms of borrowing against revolver, they scaled back inventories, right . They are taking away the feed lines in terms of working capital, they took out inventory for future periods so they wouldnt have excess inventory. They are positioned well for cash but, you know, sales are probably not going to be a strong as some of the other two that we have talked about. Maria by the way, weve got october retail sales coming out this morning, big day for retail. Thats 8 30 a. M. Eastern. Economists are expecting 5 tenths of a percent gain for retail sales in the month of october, ryan payne, impact on markets, is that priced in right now, what do you say . Ryan i think it would be another surprise if it comes in better than expected. At this point we are all assuming retail is really good and the American Consumer loves to spend. Im not quite sure that thats going to drive markets in a big way but i would expect it to be a good number and i think that bodes well for the economy going into 2021, so im liking what im hearing so far. Maria joel, final word from you in terms of allocating capital, you want to buy the market after we saw new records . We are very optimistic and bullish to rest of 2020 and going into the First Quarter of 2021. The moderna news is bigger than pfizer news. It doesnt have to be chilled and can be transported to other pharmacies, normal refrigeration and a product thats a gamechanger. Unfortunately for many of the retailers that suffered it may be too little too late. Im bullish for next year small caps and u. S. As well. Maria thank you very much for weighing in. Joel, check out morning mover, cosco on the rise after declaring a 10dollar special dividend. Cfo says the payout is due to strong Balance Sheet. It will cost the company 4. 4 billion.

Officials in georgias floyd county discovered more than 2600 ballots, netting nearly 800 additional votes for President Trump in peach state. The problem due to Election Officials neglecting to up load a memory card from a ballot scanning machine. This comes as michigan rejects an appeal to void their Election Results ahead of expected certification and the Trump Campaign faces a hearing this afternoon in pennsylvania. They allege voters were held to a different standard depending on if they voted by mail or in person. Joining me right now the opinion writer for the wall street journal jillian, great to see you, jillian, thank you for being here. Thank you for having me. Maria georgia news does not give anybody optimism that everything was fair and square in the 2020 election, whats your reaction . Im really glad they are doing a recount here and doing it by hand. This is important for restoring americans confidence in the electoral process. I think georgia is a model for doing it right in some senses. You know, i think this is less about some of the legal challenges. Its challenging on margin where its not likely to change the outcome of the election, but i do think what it is is an opportunity to look at whats gone wrong, look at irregularities that have happened in some states, pennsylvania is the one that springs to mind and make sure that Going Forward we dont have those kind of a mess. Particularly with mailin ballots, we set a precedent now. We need to make sure that with our elections all americans can have confidence in it even if their candidate doesnt win. Maria but, jillian, what about what we are seeing here in the broader election and these claims from the trump team. Rudy giuliani and Sidney Powell have joined me multiple times and they are zeroing in on the software made by smart maddoc where they say the software was manipulated and changed trump votes into biden votes. Listen to Rudy Giuliani on sunday morning futures. I can prove that they did it in michigan, i can prove, there were witnesses. Every one of the states, we have more than enough illegal documented to overturn the results. Not only did they use a venezuelan to count our ballots, they didnt allow us in key places. They didnt do it everywhere, they did it in big cities where they have corrupt machines where they will protect them. Maria jillian, whats your take on all of this . Its important to have transparency around the elections. The technology concerns, i can see why theres concerns. In pennsylvania where you had one republican poll watcher being turned away, social distancing rules weponized them to keep republicans at a goodies tans from the ballots, thats concerning and then you have the normal shenanigans that happens in cities like philadelphia. This is a state thats known its called, you know, the cash that you put out, campaigns will way to democratic city wards that will go out and get out the vote process, you have the Campaign Cash circulating on election they. Things like that undermine confidence, undermine the publics perception that this is a Fair Election and the lawsuits are about looking into what happens here. And making sure that we have confidence and should be done the right way. Maria but is it being done the right way in georgia ahead of the Senate Runoffs . Both of the Georgia State senatorial seats are up for grabs this january, that could dictate control of the senate and dictate what American People feel in terms of the policy impacting their pocketbook, im talking about higher taxes, the Green New Deal, all of these things that the extreme left wants to push through if the democrats win theyll be able jillian the takes could not be higher. Maria exactly. Is it safe . They just found ballots in georgia. Jillian yeah, i think this is really important. In georgia in particular the stakes couldnt be higher. Youre absolutely about being backstop of run away progressive alleged. If democrats control the senate, youre in real trouble. This is full steam ahead and its really important that going into this race, this is litigated and conducted with transparency. Maria all right, jillian, thank you very much for weighing in here.

Maria welcome back, major progress being made on the covid19 vaccine, both pfizer and modernas treatments reporting over 90 effectiveness rate, efficacy rate as the country grapples with undecided president ial election. The wall street Journal Editorial Board out with new oped saying trump, biden and covid19, thats the title. Editorial board writes, Success Stories of Covid Response but theres a serious risk that the biden team will default to instincts and reimpose a culture of bureaucratic control that restricts new medical advances. Joe biden vehicles on speaking on the vaccine news yesterday. If the fda gives authorization to the pfizer or Moderna Vaccine, will you get vaccinated . I wouldnt hesitate to get the vaccine but i also want to set an example and but i wouldnt hesitate to get the vaccine, in fact, dr. Fauci and these two organizations whether moderna or pfizer who have been extremely responsible conclude that it is it is safe and able to be done. Look, the only reason people question the vaccine now is because of donald trump. Thats the reason why people are questioning the vaccine, because all of the things he says or doesnt say, whether it is truthful or not truthful. The exaggerations. Maria Jon Hilsenrath, your reaction. Jon well, i think whoever is in the white house in january theres a huge incentive to
