| 0:00.0 | This is John Bachelor, conversation with my colleague Liz Peek of the Hill and Fox News about the stock market, |
| 0:08.0 | the very, very fashionable stock market with the Magnificent Seven. However, Liz brings forth a statistic that |
| 0:16.1 | underlines why the market could be regarded as shaky. A large percentage of all of the gains, all of the worth, all of the |
| 0:25.6 | magnificent attention that the market receives is based upon 10 stocks only. |
| 0:32.0 | That's a narrow, narrow rally. That's a narrow thing to build a |
| 0:36.5 | future on. Here, Liz explains how we've been through this before, reaching back way to the 1950s. Fun stuff. The market is |

| 1:24.7 | And I think that's totally right. |
| 1:27.4 | And they were optimistic that the investor interest would start looking at the Russell 2000, you know, the mid-sized market cap |
| 1:37.2 | companies in the stock market and I think that seems reasonable. I mean, if the economy is growing, |
| 1:43.1 | if companies are doing well, it shouldn't just be |
| 1:46.2 | a very small number of companies, |
| 1:49.0 | the so-called Magnificent Seven or whatever, |
