Welcome to closing bell. I'm Scott Wobner live from Post 9 here at the New York Stock Exchange.

This make a break hour begins with the appetite for risk, which one firm says is at its highest level in some three years.

So does it mean another leg to this record setting rally is in the cards before year end?

We will ask our experts over this final stretch, including Schwab's Lizanne Saunders, who will join me momentarily,

and we're looking very much forward to that. In the meantime, let's show you the scorecard here

with 60 to go in regulation. We have a down day on the street. It's red all the way around. Dow is

the big loser for its ninth day in a row. That's the longest streak since 1974.

Important to note half the losses due to United Healthcare, which does continue its

slide yet again today, down nearly 4%. Tech taking a bit of a breather as well, though Apple

hitting yet another record high in its own right. Microsoft and Tesla are also higher

today. Interest rates, they're a touch lower ahead of tomorrow's Fed decision.

They cut, as you know, widely expected. The real question, though, what happens after that? We'll have a report on that coming up as well.

It takes us to our talk of the tape, just how much gas is left in the tank of this bull run. Let's ask Lizanne Saunders, who joins us now.

She is Schwab's chief market

strategist. Welcome back. Nice to see you. Nice to see you too, Scott. Thanks.

You know, I cite the fact that people are pretty bullish. It's Bank of America and their fund

manager survey today, which cited super bullish sentiment, record low allocation to cash, record

high allocation to stocks, and a three-year

high in global risk appetite. What does that tell you, if anything, on where you think we might

go here over this last stretch of 24 and making the turn into 25?

Well, you know, Scott, it's among many sentiment indicators that do show a decent amount of froth in the market.

And it's both on the attitudinal side of things, a survey-based data, as well as on the behavioral side.
