Hello, welcome to the Real Vision Daily Briefing.

It's Friday, December 17, 2021, a Maggie Lake.

And here with me today is Jim Bianco, president of Bianco Research.

Hey, Jim, happy Friday.

Yeah, happy Friday to you one week before Christmas.

Yeah, but it's kind of a weird Friday, right?

We've got so many, we were just talking about the fact that it's not slowing down at all.

We just have so many things going on and not turmoil in the market, but definitely

feels a little more volatile and unsettled.

We had a sell-off again in equities and they're selling off into the clothes, which is never

a great sign.

Although today it's almost flipped from yesterday, the NASDAQ, which in the beginning

smoked, holding steady, trying to keep its head above positive territory.

The Russell was rebounding and it was the Dow and the S&P taking it on the chin, the

Dow.

It's closing near, it's lows, 500 some points more than 1% the S&P also, about 1% or three

quarters, 10-year yield-dipping, holding around 139, 140, and we've got cryptocurrencies down

of Ethereum 4% Bitcoin, something like 3, 3.5 and headlines of things getting canceled.

Not Christmas yet, but the NFL canceling three games.

I know that was, that just crossed not long ago and everyone upset about that, not to

mention the party's getting canceled and virtual, so there's just a lot to take in

here.
