| 0:00.0 | Market Insight and Analysis. You're listening to the opening bell of CNBC, Squawk on the Street. |
| 0:24.3 | Good Monday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm Carl Kington-A. with Jim Graamer and David Faber at Post 9 of the New York Stock Exchange. Coming off some all-time highs, six straight weekly wins for the S&P. That's the longest streak of the year. We go into a week of some heavy hitter industrial earnings. Futures are soft. |
| 0:22.1 | Our roadmap begins with rally mode, those six weeks and counting, why Goldman strategists say |
| 0:26.2 | the era of big stock market gains might be nearing an end. Clusters of the J&J spin-off. It's a while |
| 0:32.4 | now, but remember that? Kenview, it is up. Starboard value amassing a significant stake in the company, or so we're told, |
| 0:40.1 | and Disney's succession plans for Morgan Stanley, CEO James Gorman, who's been on the board, |
| 0:45.1 | going to become chairman of that company next year. |
| 0:48.0 | Let's begin with the markets in the midst of this six-week win streak, as we said, Jim, |

| 0:57.3 | I communicated that with investing above members. |
| 1:00.2 | We have this bizarre situation where we're going into earnings season. |
| 1:03.2 | We've got this massive $200 billion in money that went to index funds. |
| 1:08.0 | That is far ahead of what happened last year and we're already there. |
| 1:11.6 | So what's happening, you have the index funds sopping up the additional supply, |
| 1:15.2 | and you just don't have a lot of sellers between the buybacks of the companies and the S&P, |
| 1:22.3 | Dale and David, the buybacks, obviously crunch, but the S&P's like crunching. |
| 1:27.2 | You don't have a lot of stock trading. So you have like a proctor and gamble, which could have been disappointing, you ended up doing nothing. I just find that when you disappoint, you don't go down a lot. You don't go down. And when you do well, you soar. So that's an asymmetrical relationship. That's a nice market to be an investor. |
| 1:45.4 | Well, that's exactly what I'm talking. It's halcy in time, David. |
| 1:48.0 | You're not taking as much risk as you think you are. Right, because you're crunching so much stock with the S&P. |
| 1:53.6 | And you're- When you say crunching, you explain to people what you mean? |
