Hackett was brought in, he was a board member, previously he had done a great job at steel case the Office Furniture company in michigan and when he came in and he said, look, we are going to transform ford, get it ready for the future for Autonomous Vehicles, for electric vehicles. That hasnt happened ford has been mired in really not being making the move that its needed to make since 2017 they are starting to change that a little bit some of that because of the moves that jim farley has made as coo, he becomes the ceo effective october 1st and the marching orders are pretty clear. Transform this company, get ready for a future with electric vehicles, Autonomous Vehicles at some point, not immediately, but at some point, but, guys, this is the most interesting stat that i can find. If you go back over the l ....
That we are looking at, much like we did yesterday where we were talking a great deal about the possibility of a new record even intraday or all time on the s p. Yesterday it was that bizarre russian vaccine news and i think we can all term it bizarre, but today its moderna signing a deal with the u. S. Government which is signing a lot of deals to make sure that there is manufacturing capacity in place to deliver a lot of doses of a vaccine if and when it does get through phase three trials into i was listening to meg tirrell this morning and i was looking at an email how much is regeneron getting. 500 million in july i would say, david, is there any amount that you wouldnt spend on these companies to get this thing beaten because if were spending 2 trillion to just try to stay in place we have got to flood the market with money. Make it so its worth wise for everybody. I have emerging bio tonight, they would be helping making a lot of these giant doses and i dont think i think that y ....
Yesterday carl was a discouraging day for a lot of people who have been chasing momentum because last week was maybe one of the best momentum weeks i can recall since 1999, which meant that if you bought it went higher and how much fun is that . Yesterday was the day that you bought it went higher and then you got crushed. So i think that usually takes a couple days of reset where maybe you can after stocks that arent as hot, say, as tesla. So you would focus, say, on Something Like the banks ive been through the banks and i know dave and i talk about this all the time, they are incredibly complex beasts, they are not like, oh, tesla, hot and when i first went over them i thought they looked pretty good but already theyre reversing. This is not an uncommon pattern as people find one line or two line that they dont like and then they sell these stocks. David, its happening once again. You know that these banks could have had litter ....
And it would obviously be fairly strong gains the week after the weakness we saw in the Broader Markets last week. Not a lot of individual news this morning, jim. But always curious as to what caught your attention. Oil at 40 makes people feel, wait a second, maybe the economy is not so bad. Maybe thats the v. We have of course an apple price target boost a couple of Companies Reported that were not disastrous thats regarded as being positive and the day traders, they dont stop at one point today, were going to have to talk about them because of a tragic instance that happened. Ive been seeing that in my twitter feed as well i think cnbc has done some reporting on that in terms of robin hood very unfortunate and well talk about that and well talk about your friend who i know you follow closely, but back to the Broader Ma ....
Second week in a row that its starting out just in the right way. Yeah. I think theres people who just feel that this great shutdown is over obviously its worldwide the spending will begin again. I keep hearing that theres a surprising number of survivors that its not as bad as we thought. With the exception of some mortgages and some credit card, the forbearance wont really reverberate through the system reverberates to the banks. I know theres people who want to try to get the banks going. I say stick with whats working. I know its boring i know people want to rotate its something that Portfolio Managers love to do. I dont like to rotate into any stocks that have numbers cut thats really important. Im looking at david faber, who looks, of course, fabulous im thinking about him because its the credit markets we have to worry about, not the stocks they look great. Whats your concern in the credit market specifically, jim . Lik ....
