 All right with all this craziness going on today stocks were up over 545 points up We're about 1,500 points off our lows established a little more than a week and a half ago So what's going on Margaret watches Jonas Max Ferris Melissa Armo and Lenore Hawkins Lenore. What happened? I think the at the markets were just relieved today because the big surprise with it There was no big surprise this time the polls actually were indicative of what happened We didn't get a resounding move in one direction or the other in the markets. I think just said Yeah, I think you're right about that Melissa It's this the what's real now the markets going up stabilizing You know not selling at the slightest sort of you know volatile sign Versus doing just the opposite a little more than two weeks ago. What do you think this is absolutely a great sign for the market today? This is more than a relief rally. It's actually real buying. It's institutional buying that came in the market today The market broke out. We held in the morning early We broke out around lunchtime and we're up tonight even in the after hours nicely This is finally what we wanted to see we got more than 50% over that sell-off from October And we're over the hump of the 26,000 number the Dow again This is a great sign and I thought it would happen with the earnings But then those earnings in the last two weeks didn't report well and Apple and Amazon and Google Scared him a little bit Jonas Max Harris. We were just watching a second ago Rod Rosenstein leaving the White House So we don't know what transpired there. It doesn't look like he quit or was asked to quit So whatever concern there might have been we'll know the details soon, but but it didn't materialize But people invariably start doing the Richard Dixon comparison and a massacre at top officials and craziness and sews Markets don't seem to think that's going on. What do you think? Definitely not in the short term I think there was something for everybody in a weird way today I think a lot of money was building up on the sidelines with all the weakness recently and that money whether it was Democrats or Republican individual investors were often they didn't want something bad to happen in their eyes And it didn't happen because everybody got something and the money's coming back. I mean everything was up There's definitely some signs that there's some areas that might be under increased scrutiny I think it was very suspicious Did like a that like a Wells Fargo wasn't hot today with all the other hot stocks in the whole financial sector? Because that's low-hanging fruit that could get picked off by newly emboldened Congress But in general, I think everybody got you everything was locked down from the first couple years of Trump The market today was up more than double when Trump won and I think you know the the profits at health care Companies are not gonna get under attack now. There's not gonna be repeal of Obamacare There's not gonna be a lot of pressure on most financial services companies It's a construction stocks were hot today because maybe there'll be some deals and infrastructure So there's not gonna be more tax cuts making this go broke So I think or more spending maybe beyond infrastructure. So I think everybody saw something No, I think I'd watch out for the oil has been very weak. It's a little suspicious Maybe because Congress is in charge of sanctions more for a lot of the oil producing countries I don't know where that's going and also interest rates started to creep up again today That could derail this quick. It's okay. The debt that just seems to an exerably pile up Lenore You know, I know the the old history and lore of the markets that they like split government or you know One body of the government and another body under another party's power. Do you think that will hold this go around as well? I Think this time things actually are different what really worries me is then I look across over at Europe We have a real existential crisis going on in 2019 in Europe between what's happening with Brexit and Italy There's a lot of tension there that really could do some serious damage to the eurozone And if that happens that could then put pressure on the US dollar upward Which would be difficult for those US companies that generate a lot of their revenue overseas and on top of that You've also got I'm looking at China and that banking sector looks like a massive house of cards And if we see a serious problem over there, there's no way that that doesn't affect the rest of the world So well, yes, the markets do tend to like to see a government divided because not a whole lot of craziness goes on If we have some really big problems that happen outside the US I'm not sure that the markets are going to be confident that this government will be able to work together and handle it Well, Lenore, what do you think? I'm sorry Melissa Well, I think the markets gonna move forward. It doesn't matter what happens necessarily in Europe I think the markets very strong. I think fundamentally we're strong the economy strong We got to keep moving in the right direction and we still have the current tax cuts in place I think what would be bad for the market is if we don't resolve the issues with the China trade trade war That's going on sometime by the summer of 2019 if that drags on long into 2019 I think that would be bad for the markets Otherwise, I'm very bullish in the market and I think if the Democrats since they won the house try to impeach Trump That will be bad. So impeachment bad no impeachment good Well, they don't like they don't like got crises. That's for sure Jonas, how do you guide investors real quickly right now about these next few days in particular? I Wouldn't get too excited about this We're getting the end of the crash that we did the mini crash we had especially in tech stocks There's still an overhanging problems going on there I'm saying go a little bit more broad actually kind of counter the other investor I think our dollars stopped going up with this This was the end of that and now you could actually do better in what has been lagging for years We've been beating the world economy for a very long time. So let's try and look guys. I want to thank you all I'm sorry for the truncated time here with the breaking news But again, just letting you know a market's up and right now Rod Rosenstein from a few moments ago leaving the White House All good. We're told no one getting fired of being asked to quit. We're also
