Last weeks downward trend continued today, the dow lost 3 and the s and p 500 gave back 2. 9 that index has now given back everything it gained under the trump administration. The nasdaq finished 3 tenths of a percent down. So i had the pleasure today of talking with a local business. In foster city because a lot of local businesses have been having a hard time during this shutdown it is a business run by personal trainers. Teresa and danny gordon they run the body studio thats in foster city and theyve been in business together for about 25 years and last week they suddenly had to close because of the shelterinplace order and thats really tough for a gym and a personal trainer that is one on one contact. So theyve shut down for now, but theyre remaining really optimistic. Were unable to make money because thats you know howie mayor money is to have people come in and work out other sessions weekly we never thought in the 24 years that weve been in business that this would ever happen. Till this time that point everything was we were good. And being forced to step down. Only something that happens in america it did and were in the years and we try to stay positive things but that was a shocker. Our motto here is dont give an hour or so thats what were trying to do were trying to be all instead of a you cutlass yeah for me i try to do that to remain positive through it all i believe ever did before that with a position of the opportunity. I believe that and i believe that we will come through this ok stronger than we were. When we entered it you feel like you are exploring other its forcing us to. Expand our horizons a bit with our training and offer more online our going more in that direction at least for this time period we still yeah maybe well have some other avenues as well will be a good thing that comes out of this yeah serve. So the trainers are also married to each other as you can imagine how all this is going because both of their incomes are loss right now. But theyre really trying to move to their online trainings and also do more on facebook but thats a learning curve for them, but you can see optimistic and positive they are definitely going to be able to make that happen. And also making happen right now for us is our chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow hes working from home and tracking a very wet forecast for the next couple days. Yeah, cold too, i mean here we are spring and were hoping the temperatures warm up a little bit coy. These numbers for a good 10 degrees below the average in some parts of the year out the door right now weve got some cloudy skies looking out toward a simple those clouds roll did no delays being reported there or any other airport around the bay area of this cold front begin to make its way toward california you can see the system sliding on through not much in the way of rain just yet you some scattered showers will see more of those showers moving in as we head in toward tomorrow more so the showers we get up for in the end you see some Cool Temperatures in the 40s the re going to be a little were consistent by the middle of the day and was spent on those numbers only in the 50s outside so definitely a jacket weather and the showers in the afternoon continuing a probably a taper off just a little bit lot of part of the day but you get the idea you still got that cool air in place in chile numbers in the rain and it could be one of the cool days outside temperature wise you see the blue Iron Mountains those numbers only the 40s a chance that we are going to see a couple of snowflakes over the mountain tops warm spots, maybe about 30 degrees in love more 50 also into san jose 57 in San Francisco and about 55 and cool in the napa valley take a look out over the next few days were going to see some unsettled weather a chance of rain for be more scattered as we get into wednesday by thursday and friday just partly cloudy skies looks mostly dry. But then a chance of rain developing friday night and saturday and into sunday as well that slip forecasts justine back to the study. Thanks so looks like march is making up for where february lacked rain wise. It sure is yes it is. Thanks for us, well check back with you later and there is a lot of uncertainties surrounding the markets as we mentioned before other having a really tough time right now so were going to keep seeing this downward trend are we headed toward a recession. Lets get some answers right now. Joining us working from home as well as our financial expert, rob black rob, thank you so much for joining us this was the first day, the traders were not on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange to that contribute at all to the downward trend. We saw today or that doesnt really impact it that much. I dont think it impacted that much. Like you said its a milestone. Were now learning to trade environment for virus. When they want people to understand about wall street is that its kind of your crazy aunt who can see in the future 6 months. So a wall streets to alan 30 to 40 to 50 . Transports are down 50 planes trains and automobiles. The dow is down 40 the s and p is down 30 . Were in a bear market, we are going into recession. The market is telling us that. The question is will we have enough stimulus and fire power come out fast we should. The feds doing their job Congress Needs to get at build john on stimulus spending. Thats not going to bode well for you and i because we have children and put a lot of debt in our kids future. This wont be a horrible recession in large part because its tied toward services for the first time its not tied toward finances. Banks have money and theyll be able to lend to you need and to businesses to get us is it great now its the fastest bierremark ive ever seen it went from a correction can bear the downside 22,000 and the s and p 500 about another 5 . That would put us. It will be tough to get much lower than that. So you do you think fed tomorrow things will start to bounce back or were looking at for weeks ahead of things just continuing to drop. A lot like you i dont know what can happen with covid 19. We dont know what the hospital utilization rates can be we dont know what hans point youre not going to do we dont Want Congress passed. I would say were in a month where we have bag over her head and if youre short term investor. Its not ideal if youre 55 years old, its not a deal. The united 15 and are essentially anyone who is 50 and under which the for one ks weakens continue to do what we did before. This is bad, but its no worse in world war one world war 2 not a saki hiroshima this isnt massive inflation yet. Its not great. And im not sound like an obama minute hop. So the 55 and under crowd. Wait it out. Max out your 4 o one k hang in there. But what about that 55 and older crowd people who are really looking forward to using that money sooner rather than later. Youre probably looking at 18 to 24 months before the market could possibly hit an alltime high again keep in mind were 3540 days from all time high. Hopefully people 55 plus how to land. And were all and because we had one year. We had 10 straight out here is essentially 9 and a half like the last too much was that great. But we have this great push ops so im still higher than i was a year ago at this point because things like apple moved coming right back out um i dont know i have the perfect answer because again a lot of this deals with medical thats yet to show what do we wrap up sooner than later as you know, trump pushed people back to work to hospitals overwhelmed or not its an issue and we have we have the dirty r word, but were sessions are bad. There are a part of economies and time to take care of accesses that we had a great stock market run. We have one down here and said wait hold down for better days, rob. Thank you for joining us. Thats hard and theres a lot of uncertainty right now which you know its hard to have patients when you dont know whats happening. I get it. Rob thank you for joining us, i know we can always check in with you to get to your expert opinion.
