Jim Kramer here to share with you a sample of my take on the market from today's

0:06.7

CNBC Investing Club warning meeting.

0:10.2

I sometimes search for metaphors because they make things clear, Jeff.

0:14.2

There was a great movie called Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid where they were always asking

0:18.1

each other, who are those guys?

0:19.7

We have a rally where we almost have to ask, who are those guys? We have a rally where we almost

0:21.5

have to ask, who are those guys who are rallying it? Because it's very quiet who's going up,

companies that don't have any sort of cliff or don't have a slowdown. I interviewed Brian

1:24.4

Chesky this morning. Now, Brian is concerned maybe there is a bit of a travel slowdown. Well, you're not going to have a bit of a tide or crest slowdown. And that's why Procter could go up all the time.
