much visit there next week. then progressive democrats seem intent on rewriting american history. at least they could put that off until they've learned something about the nation's geography. i'll be back next week with more in-depth interviews walk right here on the wall street journal0 and have a great weekend. >> what, to the round table what we can behind the headlines to prepare you for the week ahead. coming up, the very first u.s. cruise to the pandemic any high seas this weekend i'm asking richards made about new safety measures and what nonvaccinated passengers willing to do before setting sail and later, looking at the top ceos in america, who made the biggest impacts of the

last year what you should know about them. we begin is always what we take on the three most important things the investors are they thinking about right now. the freak out has been short-lived at least for now is the s&p 500 nasdaq sword to new highs. this week's market rally continues. catching in a big banks investors could soon see a sharp increase in share buyback dividends next week and just how much of a jump are we looking at and driving out of bankruptcy next week, when means for the future of car-rental chains and shareholders. my colleagues, so we thought we had it infrastructure delton bidens complicated things but market just kept on rolling right through it all. >> yes it ended in the meeting last week, and never have been adulterated in the nasdaq went up to new highs just a little bit off this week on the s&p and the dow after getting hammered a week earlier. the market looked at the economic database on not nothing

too hot or could to goldplated inflation is transitory night hikes are still a long way off the markets going up. jack: so the fed chairman gives annually, could that rattle things. it is there thinking the feds might do to put it into this. yes because coming out all of this past week in two different things, you have to mentally investors that is coming soon, probably happening in september, just after that meeting. which also have powell saying that there is no need to do anything right now. both groups might be right but i think that's what the market is expecting something will happen come september. sue and one other interesting thing, energy has been rallying, somewhat just one more sign that everybody thinks the economy is on a roll. >> i think it helps with that. i think it is more just a supply

and demand issue. there's a lot more demanding now than there was there's not a ton of supply just because oil was negative just over a year ago. and so now we have oil and opec has lifted its restraints yet so i think for now, it is just a supply demand issue that just keeps like pretty get hired will be interesting to watch because opec is many next week in the could decide they will draw more. >> interesting and meanwhile, the big news there really was not ms. at all of the banks pass a stress test given the trust and a stress test that they passed last march, i think the work expecting that they would go easily for unit. >> after relies as you pointed out, the banks and went to restaurants, and to scheduled ones and then the midcycle one as well. but this means that they can resume buybacks.

it is expected that in total the larger banks overturned about 200 billion to shareholders and about twice the level that they did last year. put another way, manufacturing dividends and buybacks, 20 about 2 percent according to. jack: i'm guessing the market is pricing all that and is there any particular standouts next week. >> when the fed had results minutes later all banks for say okay it will be this. they asked the banks to into monday because the banks are at operating under a new framework so they want the banks to figure out what is most appropriate. it would be capitol one in financial in both of them are going to be operating and also wells fargo which had a really tough time last year but it's

proven to be the comeback play. jack: a look back at the pandemic any said regulations work not something that you usually hear from eight ceos. does asked intimate reflect pretty much the industries view our differences there. >> 's are some but we did not have a big failure we didn't even really worry about a bank failure but if you'd talked about a tenth of these executives off the cuff, he had wealth on thanks and would've to maintain the payouts no restrictions and responsible businesses run and so that when you think about that shareholders and the health of the customers and the health of them system, maybe we can say they work. jack: thank you so much for that pretty did jack, tell me about hers, does this mean the means stop they were right all along pretty. jack: is like a year ago we were shaking our heads and saying

don't understand how bankruptcy works. they went from 50 cents to $500 back then prayed around a $7 now and andrew said it could be worth closer to $9. the company was bought in a bidding contest in the bankruptcy court by a group of private equity investors absolutely everything about that had changed. we stop traveling never vaccinated in traveling to get a nobody can get it, there's a shortage pretty can't make cars and it makes the fleece more valuable as allowing them to charge anything they want. so making great money. mason conditions could remain at favorable like that until late next year. so it is a bit complicated how the deals work. it's going to come out of bankruptcy maybe at the end of june at and investors to guide the shares now are going to get

a little bit of cash in stock and a lot of in the mountains choice and comes out with approximate dollars and 70 cents about two much more the stocks are trading at recently. we saw $33 more in this folks are so crazy from by a year ago. >> made the stock will keep going up. coming up, one of the hardest hit industries during the pandemic, chris is making a comeback pretty royal caribbean the first to set sail from the the first to set sail from the u.s. they said it couldn't be done but you managed to pack a record 1.1 trillion transistors into this chip whoo! yeah! oh, hi i invested in invesco qqq

their embarking from imports - my understanding is that your requiring testing of protocols. would you rather just have all of the passengers back. >> will i think we have to comply with the laws wherever we are. and in florida not allowed to require vaccinations but we do recommend it and as you say, there are other implications and the result is that most of our guests wanted to be vaccinated. we have done surveys and we have seen that most of our guests are eager there either already vaccinated wanted to be soon. so for example the one i'm on today, sorry, who will be on until saturday, he will go up 9d will be vaccinated even though we have accepted if you want to come you can do so and vaccinated right as you meet the protocol requirements.

>> forgive me, do you agree or disagree with florida governor want ronnie said is the band somebody's from requiring vaccinations. it would increase and most people want to be vaccinated anyway would be better just required that everybody is vaccinated predict. >> we work with the government whichever the government is involved. state governments, federal governments and governments overseas. and if we work with them to make sure that we can offer something that is safe and we will sail if it is not safe even if the law allows it. i'm not going to some flyby agree or disagree we will comply with laws wherever they are pretty. jack: i want question for you, up to with covid-19 in the celebrity millennium i guess as a test run jp morgan analyst said that the protocols were executed flawlessly, there's no interruption in service but you got high marks for that pretty
