Of the covid tunnel. Two down, two to come, Johnson Johnson and astrazeneca. Thats the main reason for the big monday morning rally with the dow jones up about 450 points. Tao, 30000. If we gain 500 points the dow jones is at 30k, again in a one half percent. Smaller game for the s p and nasdaq slightly lower. That is the market. Love the rally. Hate this of violence. Trump supporters attacked in washington dc last night with tens of thousands rallying peacefully, but after nightfall violence. A limited Police Presence and virtually no mention about this in the Mainstream Media and so far no statement from the biden harris camp. Bernie sanders now says he has not met anyone who wants to defund the police. Has he talked to aoc . Editorial, the company ministration deserves credit for the Rapid Development of the vaccines.
