Good morning. Good morning. Lauren were in the sweet spot or so it seems, Interest Rates low, taxes low, republican held senate. Whats your take . I think all of those things come into play and youre right. You have Interest Rates that are basically in a box, they cant be risen because of international flows or basically at zero overh overseas. Weve had a lot of stimulus. Were looking at at 178 to 180 in terms of earnings and that might be low, based on where margins are and you had a couple head winds last year, the gm strike and boeing which is the largest exporter. So a lot of things are being discounted on good news right now. So lets see how the year plays out. Lauren and what sectors or stocks in specific would you advise for 2020 investments . Were going to start looking at the industrials in a bigger way. A lot of the sickly cyclical a, business dont do that well. The economy was driven by the consumer. The consumer still will be there this year. Youll be looking at industrials starting to pick up in a bigger way. Look at boeing, our largest exporter, that should see a pop right there. Lauren the manufacturing contraction, the manufacturing recession that weve seen, that ends or continues . I think its going to end.

In terms of phase one, we should having written by the end of the month and the chinese have been very quiet. In doing that, it means were going to end up probably having something right now that gets signed. Lauren all quiet on the trade front. Lets talk about the decade of debt as we wrap up the decade. The National Debt has hit a record 23 trillion this year. If you break that down, thats 70,000 for you and for me and for cheryl and everybody. Thats crazy. It seems to be getting worse not better. What do we need to do to change this . How worried are you . In terms of Interest Rates being low, that helps. Looking at the amount of debt were paying on right now, the debt coverage ratios are okay. As long as Interest Rates stay low we should be all right. It will be a problem when it becomes a problem, when rates get higher, probably around 5 . Lauren its amazing that the National Debt keeps going you up. The republicans are supposed to be monitoring this, saying lets cut the spending. Its not happening. Not at all. Politicians want to go forward and have a spending bill in terms of putting infrastructure in place and a couple other things that might ad to it. Lauren does tesla go private .

The faa said they do not know where the drones are coming from. Do you know . Cheryl no, i do not. Thank you for asking.
