The dow gained 91 points the s p only climbed 1. 9 . Nasdaq barely at all 0. 8 where do i even start . This morning kicked off with an interview we did with the chief Economic Advisor and my former cohost here on cnbc, he explained that the agreement side with china is a lot more farreaching than most people realize.

Businesses are expanding, they are hiring people, jobs are being created. Innovation is occurring in america, it is less sexy than you know dow plunges or recession is coming. Unfortunately not focusing on the market, 21 new highs in recent weeks, not focusing on price but focusing on story, and a lot of people missed stocks this year. I think for 2019, you had fed slashing rates that helped market as a whole, fed has not done that since toward end of the recession, tightest labor market since 1969. And heading into 2020, that is what weve been focuses on this network, is this rally going to continue . Will ure fundamentals there . It is adding up, china trade deal.
