short and week with stockings full of momentum and investors hoping for a nine-week

the charge. Intel surging on the heels of a multi-billion dollar

investment from Israel's government.

We'll have more on that later on at the hour.

The S&P 500 within striking distance of record levels and the small cap Russell 2000

adding to its recent hefty gains by the way small caps they're on pace for their

best month of the year wow all of this brings us to our talk of the tape and some questions
