Thanks so much welcome to closing bell. I'm Scott Wobbler live at

Post 9 here at the New York Stock Exchange. This make-or-break hour

begins with target practice and whether the loftiest of S&P

predictions can actually be reached this year, we will ask our experts over this final stretch. In the

meantime, take a look at the scorecard with 60 minutes to go and regulation big

day for the Dow today, certainly relative to the other majors. It's up three quarters

of 1% energy and financial stocks are

leading the way today. Well Apple is contributing to even though it is a down day

for technology as a sector. There's Apple pushing higher by two-thirds of a percent.

Got a look at NVIDIA shares. They're sharply lower again following a volatile

week that included a nearly 15 percent correction. We're going to watch that

very closely over this last hour, see what

it means to the markets at large. It does take us to our talk of the tape. The second half

set up for stocks. Is it favorable for the rally to continue? Let's ask Dan Greenhouse. He's chief

strategist for solace alternative asset management with me here post nine.

Welcome back. Good to see you. Thank you sir. So we're about to make the turn

so to speak right on the second half of this year.

How things feel to you?

I think they feel pretty good.

You know, obviously there's not without concerns,

the parabolic move in NVIDIA, which we're going to talk about

it, a a minute notwithstanding.
