Market Moving Insight and Analysis.

Join Jim Kramer, David Faber and me, Carl Cantonea, on the opening bell hour of CNBC Squawk on the Street. Good Monday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm David Faber. She is Sarah Eisen. We're live for the Post 9 at the New York Stock Exchange. Jim and Carl have the morning. I think they have a whole week off. Yeah. Just me and you. All week long, three hours. three hours.
