Of play for stocks as we build into our discussion. Youve got dr. Birx on the task force. The covid surge, quote, the worst event the country will face coming this winter. Stocks have run a lot coming into november. The vaccine is getting closer day by day values been outperforming lately the value etf coming off its fifth positive week in a row thats the First Time Since its fiveweek stretch ending the end of december of 2019. So my question to you to start things off, where do we go from here it seems like the market wants to go higher i think its been incredible all year it seems to definitely be picking up steam in november and pt fir the first part of december, investors are leap frogging, the political discord in washington, the lack of fiscal stimulus and leap frogging that and buying stocks in general and buying growth stocks, buying momentum stocks, buying value stocks, airline, energy, all of the above.

So he said to himself, well, where are these photographs . And after several years of searching, he tracked down riis son and with much coercing got riis son to try to find the pictures which turned out to be in the attic of the familys home in queens, new york, that was about to be torn down.
