You're listening to On the Tape with me, Dan Nathan, Guy Dami, and Danny Moses.

0:03.9

We have a great show lined up for you today, talking markets, rates, the newest meme stock, Robin Hood, and crypto.

0:09.9

Later, we'll go off the tape with Rick Heitzman, founder and partner at First Mark Capital.

0:13.7

So stick around.

0:14.5

It's going to be a good one.

0:16.6

So, Danny, I ask Dan Nathan this all the time.

0:19.1

He knows the answer. So I'm going to ask you,

0:21.2

why was the market higher this past week? Danny Moses, why? I hate the answer because it was open,

0:27.9

but because it was open. That's exactly right, because it was freaking open. And here we are,

1:17.0

So I can't imagine what we're going to miss on Friday, but volatility is here. It's percolating,

1:21.4

but you're right. It's not being reflected in people's thirst to just own these stocks. I look at it and say the volatility is in every place

1:29.5

but the equity market and in a certain point it's going to find its way there. But earlier this

1:34.1

week, we saw Citibank actually said, you know what? I'm making this up a little bit, but no
