nasdaq up by close to 20. overnight in asia, the nikkei up by 0.6%. the shanghai deposit was flat. in europe, some of the early trading, you re seeing those positive gains are continuing here the dax is the biggest gainer of the major averages up by 1.7%. the ftse is up 0.6%. they finally decided if the economy is is not going to get better, at least we got glory. you almost heard both messages from yellen. the economy is doing okay. she wants something to confirm in one number, i don t think one month would confirm. july, like 20% now. i think it s still on the table. we also want to see what happens with brexit. for eight years it s been look. the economy hasn t really been getting any better but we got the free money. we ve got the low rates. let s buy stocks. that still works. there no alternative to move, right? yeah. there is some corporate news. some corporate news, not so great news for yahoo! this morning. verizon going to submit a bit of only a
for a reception and appear in front of 500 people in a room speech, itpublic should be recorded and there s no good reason why we should had to cede to his request that it not be recorded. why did you? he wouldn t have come otherwise. on these remarks, it s self-evident that they are thatrent in the sense other than justice kagan, they ve come from one cloistered life to another. to the priesthood is through the federal appellate these institutions are bundled up so when they get to the supreme court, they don t range of professions and exposures in public life that other government people would have by the time they got high rung. you re saying they re different because they have super thin skin? not because no, it s because they re transparency is not a technical issue or a legal cultural issue. when transparency is a technical issue, it fails, it almost always fails. if you look at the president s open government agenda, when the president on day one was like we
