Were pretty active in the investment committee. Amy raskin, i start with you. You sold nike. Yep. Seems to me from the notes here you had it. We trimmed half our position, we spoke about a couple months ago, but were done. The company is just not executing as well as it should. The brand is still great. We could come back to it at some point, but theyre not executing right now. China is a risk for them, and, so, were out of the position. The stock is down 14 year to date, down more than 20 over ...

It boils down to a simple question, are we set up for a yearend rally or not . I think thats what our viewers want to know more than anything else. I think its possibly. A tug of war between high Interest Rates, geopolitical tensions, valuations that are high, and an economy thats strong, earnings are delivering and a consumer thats remaining resilient. I certainly think thats a possible outcome. Lets remember, if we rallied back to those july highs valuation becomes an issue again especially if...

Expectations rose to the highest level since may. Larry fink of black rock on the network an hour or so ago. Inflation higher for longer, long rates will be above 5 . That does not sound like goldilocks to me. What a difference a week makes, dont you think . I dont know, maybe a day. I was calling you jimmy goldilocks yesterday. Maybe not today. There were cracks with that cpi report. Needed it to come in softer than expected. It didnt. Here is what were looking at. Inflation is indeed stickier ...

Britains watchdog gives the green light. Boeing is the biggest drag on the dow, expanding this probe of the production defect on the max. Lets begin with the banks, jim. Overall, not just the beats, some of the commentary about Investment Banking, efficiency ratios look good. Its funny because obviously this group came in as cold as ive ever seen it. What a change from even earlier this week when pepsi came in hot and then rolls over. I mention that because that was the first big quarter. These ...

Jonathan krinsky, the path of least resistance, new highs. Are you on that page, too . Im on that page for now for sure after powells dovish comments, and i said this last week or the week before, after the market sold off a little bit, whats going on here . He put a flurry into the market and said no more rate increases. So if you were worried about that, thats off the table now what was jomo turned into fomo the joy of missing out as the market was declining has turned into the fear of missing...

Uber is down 9 . Its been a great performer. You and josh have talked about how great this stock has been. Does this tell us anything about the state of the growth trade in the here and now its not like the Earnings Report was that bad. I think its a great example of a measurement for sentiment and positioning. If you think about growth, s p growth over the last year is up 30 . You think about s p value, its only up about 18 . So where are our speculators positioned theyre positioned more toward...

Unemployment rate rises slightly. Yields fall. Stocks surge. Is it really any more complicated than that . Its not. And, you know what, i thought we had i wouldnt call it a Perfect Press conference from powell, but i think we had a really, really good one, and i would say very dovish. So you take that, you take the report today, and thats why the market is up. The market has been up the last few days, and, frankly, now that were out of the woods, at least for now, and were always going to be, li...

He took a hike off the table, right . Here is what he did. He took a hike off the table he said inflation will continue to come down as the year progresses he said demand is still strong but cooling. And he shut down the stagflation narrative. I dont see the stagg or the flation. Take that thats all the stuff you start the year with this expectation that the debate is between six or seven rate cuts, that, over the course of the next few months, changes to, okay, maybe its five. Maybe its four, t...

Yields we continue to grow lower in stocks. And everything about the q4 playbook begins in the direction for yields. I do not see any fundamental catalyst in front of us for yields to fall. The last several days and certainly in the previous quarter, the equity market is telling you what the playbook should look like, and you think about utilities and in q3, they bolted down 10 , and its not about a safe haven. Utilities are down today alone, and high yielding sectors are not advantageous. The o...
