Not only did i learn a lot from it but as you know, when you report on politics day in , day out there are themes that you develop andfinding your writing. There are things you feel like your understanding in a lot of dimensions about american politics so for me , that was a way to bring a lot of that together.

Whole move, just fueled by Wishful Thinking are we whistling past the graveyard here after a strong day dow gained 133 points, up more in the beginning. Nasdaq climbed 1. 3 . I think those are the wrong explanations its not Wishful Thinking. Its that i keep telling you that we have two markets, right. I told you why the s p doesnt work any more. We have two markets. We have all that stuff that went down and im going to go over that and then, of course, whats in the nasdaq in science and technology thats whats responsible for the phenomenal move. The nasdaq is barely down for the year yeah, and the bad market, the industrials, travel leisure stocks everything gets dinged even on a big up day like this one. Right now there is genuine excitement on wall street that we could maybe be returning to something close to normalcy.
