And Berry,you sound more upbeat on the market and the prospects of the economy, then the last few times we’ve spoken.What’s changed?
Well, the biggest thing that’s changed is the market doesn’t seem to think that there’s anything to hold it back
… that the Federal Reserve (is) doing what it’s doing; the stimulus has been pouring out.
I would say that we are gonna see some volatility. It’s not that I don’t think that that exist.
But it’s more of a rotation than anything else. The rotation to small, to cyclicals, we like names like Caterpillar on the infrastructure side.

Inauguration of President Joe Biden was orderly and uneventful, removing at least a modest level of apprehension among some investors, though in fact, the market has been rather unflappable in general since late October. Attention turns now to whether the universally expected fiscal spending boost and vaccine-aided economic revival occur on time to the satisfaction of investors who’ve been positioning for this exact scenario to unfold for more than two months.

The record-low supply of homes for sale right now has buyers outbidding each other. Some homes are going for far more than their listed, but only if they have what today’s buyer wants. January isn’t usually a hot time for housing. But the pandemic has upended everything, even seasonality. This house, which was beautifully staged, sold in a matter of days. And another one, also-well staged down the block, went on the market last weekend and by Tuesday had eight offers.

Private payrolls drop by 123,000 in December.
That breaks a 7-month spree of job growth.
So we need to watch this very carefully and see whether or not that drop in hiring is reflected in the overall government figures when they come out.
Tesla got a price target upgrade today at Morgan Stanley.
They think those shares could climb to $810 per share.
We will keep you posted.

Hi, everybody, I’m Sue Herral, Cnbc business news.
The Dow hit a record high, the Russel 2000 did as well today.
They are watching the Georgia election’s Democratic control of the Senate. If indeed that does happen, under a Biden administration, it may mean more stimulus checks coming for individuals and small businesses. And the market views that as very bullish. We don’t know however, how that Georgia election has turned out yet.
