john adams is the man and abigail adams is in the background. we get to talk about abigail adams, put her in the spotlight and the men that helped her along. that is episode four from 2011. guest: something else about that , i almost think that -- john quincy adams was a very smart fellow but his mother i believe was one of the most intelligent people we have ever covered on the show. she was born out of time. i often think when we are covering people, if only these people had been born today we may have had a president abigail adams. that was not a path open to her. guest: and being able to talk a little bit about the men of support the women, the fact that she married john adams out of everybody in her world is great. he was supportive of her and not dismissive. there are letters between the two of them out of there and it is a delight to be able to read them. they are very flirty. the subjects they will talk about almost sound very modern. they push the envelope of propriety to the edge and a lot of them. the fact that she married well helped

abigail: we had the classic reversal. a little bit relieved it is exactly what they thought it would be, a hawkish non-surprise that sent stocks higher and yields flat. at this point we have stocks reversing lower. the s&p 500 not that much.

well, so abigail is very busy in courtrooms trying to make her case. but other western women continued to accumulate political power by moving from community building to large-scale social reform which was also catching on in late 19th century, later 19th century america. many women enlisted in the powerful nationwide women's christian temperance union. it began as a campaign against the vice that's jeopardized the family, particularly drunkenness and -- and prostitution. before long, however, the wctu embraced suffrage and a broad do-everything agenda, that's what it was called. that included sanitation, labor regulation, pure food and drug laws, the rehabilitation of prostitutes, the -- starting up kindergartens. this pragmatic shift was especially popular in the very practical west. contrary to its image, the wctu, still one of the largest and most important political organizations in american history, gave tens of thousands of women a path from the home into the larger worlds of personal growth, social reform, and politics. by strongly influencing

representative abigail spanberger represents virginia's seventh congressional district. and they and others in congress have really led this effort. when we were looking for someone to host this discussion, we had tess bridgemen at the top of our list. dr. bridgemen is the co-editor of just security, and she has also written widely on this subject. in fact, i think it's fair to say much of what i have learned on this subject and especially what i have learned in terms of congress'work on this subject has started with dr. bridgemen. i want to turn things over to tess. it's your show, tess. take it away. >> thank you so much. it's really wonderful to be here with these two members. i can't think of anyone better to have this conversation with. you have both really been steadfast in reminding us that it's congress' duty to start reclaiming the war powers that have been largely ceded to the executive branch over the last several decades. you both also have been matching with action. you have been writing legislation, cosponsoring legislation, trying to get it passed. you tho

here's abigail doolittle.bigail: we do have the s&p 500 higher for a third day in a row, up 0.7% now, near session highs. more than 3% over the last three days, and the s&p 500 on pace for yet another closing hi. this after the sky was falling feeling earlier this week and last week on omicron, but some hope around some treatments. the nested 100 also higher. bonds down, supporting the idea that there's a risk on theme. you have the 10 year yield in that sweet spot of not too high, not too low, right around 1.5%, in contrast to natural gas futures plunging. take a look at gasoline futures, up more than 1%. this has to do with a refinery fire at annex on mobile worth finery in texas, right in time for the holiday. not sure that is good news, but stocks at record highs, that certainly is. guy: we did see a fairly big drop in gas prices, natural gas prices come on both sides of the atlantic, so multiple drops on the gas front. let's turn to our question of the day, which was slightly inspired by our next guest. t

while the men fought, many women -- including abigail adams, the future first lady -- capably ran their families' farms and enterprises. in recognition of their service and patriotism, new york, new jersey, massachusetts and new hampshire allowed them to vote. then the men returned from the war. by the time of the constitution's ratification in 1788, most women had been disenfranchised. new jersey held on until 1807. by the mid 19th century as the industrial revolution rapidly gathered steam and rapidly urbanized america, women's status declined still further, at least those of the middle and upper classes in towns and cities. in the old agrarian economy, home and work were intermeshed on farms where the labor of both sexes sustained the family. especially in the booming urban areas, men's jobs in the new factories and offices now supported their wives and children. eager to codify this huge shift, victorian society confined the sexes to what were routinely called desperate spheres -- separate spheres. men got the public world of the home -- excuse me, men got the public world of indust

abigail: it is hard to understand what is going on.easy to say it is a reaction to covid and based on the fact oil is going up more than stocks would suggest it is a reaction to covid, and the idea we are seeing these surprising shutdowns of the rockettes and broadway.

let's bring in abigail doolittle. abigail: i think that is the real action.ot be as robust as it was on monday, at this point we are looking at a gain of more than 1.7%. the santa rally is here. interestingly our markets producer was just pointing out the s&p 500 back above 4800, that is the 11th 100 point move of the year. that is incredible because blowing away the highest target last year for this year, which was goldman sachs at 4400. here we are at 4800. the question is where will it be in 2022. most strategist suggesting it will be higher. there is a low on the screen. yields into the question, if the fed does hike three times as expected and lays off the balance sheet, that causes that to steer away from risk assets. we will find out. paul: abigail: -- romaine: abigail doolittle kicking off the latest leg of our simulcast. joining us is sylvia dobransky. let's start with how optimistic you are about 2022. sylvia: i am actually very optimistic about 2022. we are in a good spot. the last couple of weeks has brought volatility to the market and a lot of t

let's go to abigail doolittle. she is going to give us the latest on the beginning trading session, the last one of 2021. abigail: the last one is showing very small volume, 52% below the 20 day moving average, so clearly lots of traders and investors are out already for the new year holiday. the s&p 500 fluctuating between small gains and losses. the big question is whether or not we can end the day with at least a small gain. that would be the 71st record close of the year. if not, 70 record closes in 2021. that is pretty remarkable. the nasdaq 100 down ever so slightly. bonds not doing all that much. we are seeing a bit of a to klein and crude oil, perhaps having to do with some worries around omicron, and of course, all eyes on 2022. most seem to think there will be again in 2022 for the s&p 500. the average at 5300, perhaps pointing to another double-digit gain. if that is the case, the s&p 500 now close to a 27% gain for this year. that would is -- that is three double-digit gains in a row for the s&p 500. ma

and john it will take almost a year for a back-and-forth to occur abigail said i think i mailing my letters to the ocean anyway, i'm distance time or different than. especially americans are setting for 18th century need to recognize that. how widespread was the popularity of the rebellion among the 13 colonies? >> there is a famous quotation from john adams you will see cited in a lot of history books. one third, one third, one third their 130 against it one third wanted to be neutral. in fact he was not talking with the american revolution when he said that he was talk about the french revolution believe it or not. about 20% of the 20 ended up as the loyalist. took arms against them were much less than that. then there were people on the other side who wanted to remain neutral. some of the comments i made to david would suggest you are not allowed to remain neutral. that's one of the secrets of the cause. you were forced to take a position and if you are not willing to endorse commitment to the principles and the pressure was on you it would force you to change your mind in order

abigail doolittle is here with mark.triple witching day is living up to its reputation of more volatility. here's the nasdaq 100 come the futures on the training session. starting yesterday. up, down, down. up and now down a little bit. investors still trying to make up their minds what the fed tightening meant earlier this week. the variant year end positioning , plus all of these options expiration come the activity, lots of securities changing hands. as for what is weighing on the nasdaq 100, take a look at these big decliners. figures -- these are the biggest port -- point decliners and the nasdaq 100. apple technicals are overextended, suggesting we could see that back down to its 50 day moving average, which was around 1.58. that would be issued for correction if that were to occur it is a big weighting to the average so there is something to keep in mind. tesla down 7.2% rivian -- adobe down 16% on the week. it is not all negative. let's take a look at some of the bright spots. moderna, and then the old stay-at-ho

abigail doolittle is standing by. what are you watching? i do not think we have abigail just yet.e are getting a few kinks out in this final week. let's bring in dan alpert joining us live on the show. we are trying to make some sense of what is going on in this market. we are trying to make sense of what folks did expect going into 2022, we are trying to make some sense as to whether things have gotten out of control or what we are seeing in the market right now is representative of where it should be? dan: clearly santa claus has showered this market with a lot of good joy and cheer for the christmas season. it will end up on a boom, but of course low-volume. when the adults come back after the new year we will see whether or not the risk on environment will continue. from a macro economic standpoint, the economy is actually slowing down somewhat. one of the things that was very stunning if you go back to last thursday's personal income and outlay data, you saw a slower but still very robust continuation of the pickup in personal spending. on the other hand you saw personal inco

abigail, thank you. appreciate it.aying he didn't pull the trigger in the fatal shooting on the movie set. that left one person to head so the gun goes off, but he didn't pull the trigger. so what exactly did happen? he explained on camera. we will show you next. >> tucker: alec baldwin shot someone to death on a movie set in october. he is still talking about it, but the family is still mourning. he is talking about it in public. kind of rude.ng of a thoughtless little pig, we would say. the person who was killed was hutchins. the movie way called "rust." so within the last hour, baldwin explained what happened that day. w we want to show you the tape. he is holding the revolver, but he said he never pulled the trigger. he explained what happened. >> i said in this scene i will cock the gun. do you want to see that?xp she said yes. so way to take the gun and i cocked the gun. i am not going to pull the trigger. i am not going to pull the trigger. till it down. can you i see that? then i let go of the hammer the gun an

and sometimes abigail said i think i'm mailing my letters to the ocean. but anyway, distance makes in time were different then. and especially among the americans studying for 18th-century need torecognize that . >> how widespread was the popularity of the rebellion among the 13 colonies ? >> there is a famous fquotation from john adams that you'll see cited in a lot of history books . one third, one third that are against it and one third that wanted tobe neutral . in fact, he wasn't talking about the american revolution when he said that. he was talking about the french revolution believe it or not. and historians who studied the loyalist movement show that about 20 percent of startlingly less than 20 percent of the american population and a as loyalists. there's a spectrum of those that actively took arms against them and the americans were much less than that. the ball on the underside complete wanted to remain neutral as some of the comments i made it to david will suggest. we were allowed to remain neutral and that's one of the secrets of thecause .

and when atoms abigail and john were trying to mail letters to each other because they had somethingo, it would have to take almost a year pretty kind of back-and-forth to occur and sometimes, abigail said in the o'malley my letters to the ocean. but at any rate, it's distance that makes in time for different than and especially americans at study in the 18th century need to recognize that. >> how widespread was the popularity of the rebellion among the 13 colonies pretty. >> there's a famous quotation from john adams that he cited and a lot of history books and he said that it is one third and one third and one third, one third the reporting one third that was against it in one wanted to be neutral and in fact, he was not talking about the american revolution when he said that, he was talking about the french revolution believe it or not in the historian students study the soils movement showed that about 20 percent or just slightly less than 5 percent of the working population, ended up as loyalists and the spectrum within the loyalists community refer those actively performed agai

abigail: small moves. off everybody says. tim: this company included. abigail: we are extremely happy you're talking about markets. the santa claus rally we have talked about is still on. the s&p 500 up 1.6%, but that is a solid start to the santa claus rally that ends next tuesday, relative to today, the standout move, bonds. the yield is up five to six basis points. this spread up seven basis points. that is something that stands out. romaine: i want to bring you back in here to get your thoughts on asset allocation and how you think about 2022. his next year finally the year for global equities? david: probably not. i live in detroit. i am aligns fan. -- a lions fans. they haven't won in 50 years in the playoffs. one day, this will happen but i'm not sure it will be 2022. stocks are up 30% in 2021. developed international up 12%. the last 40 years, domestic u.s. stocks have compounded 11.5%. developed international 7.5%. it is because the growth rates are less. free cash flow morgan -- margin is less. y

abigail doolittle is looking at the movers. we are on hold. abigail: we are on hold.the week, we are looking at a decline for the nasdaq 100, down about 3%. it is interesting. typically, it is all about being on hold. this week, we have had some declines. the tech getting hit in particular. there is the on hold, a very small decline on the day. investors waiting to see there will be a hawkish surprise from the fed and what that would be. big tech really under pressure because of the possibility of rates rising. what is so interesting, and this was stunning to me, the yield curve this year has flattened tremendously. the 210 and 530 pointed out that the fed has been buying the long end and selling the middle and you have this inversion. what makes that so interesting, if it were to invert, that perception would be a recession. we do not have that economic data, but this is interesting. it could give the fed move will run. as for the s&p 500, the will room is causing another test of support. this is relative to a 50 day moving average and a 100 moving date -- 100 day mo

bloomberg's abigail doolittle is here with what is moving the market. is lower, the stock still higher. abigail: i am amazed by that because you typically would not see that. a very powerful rally after a brutal two days for the s&p 500, the worst since october 2020, and yet its biggest component in apple and 2.5%. the correlation on apple and the s&p 500 is broken down, so yesterday apple was at an all-time high. a little bit of evening out here. visa and j.p. morgan chase, yields are higher. one of the big stories on the day, oil. super interesting. it had been higher, this after having been down for two days, the worst november since march 2020. selling pressure having to do with fears around the variant, economic demand, the strategic reserve release, and then you see today a big drop lower as it was said that opec+ will be holding with their output hike in january, and then off of the low, so it seemed like investors needed that news to finally come out you not such a surprise, given that had been some posturing that they might do that in response

let's go to abigail doolittle.d the ism services super strong, markets not really responding right now. abigail: though volatile this week, up, down, up, down. so much uncertainty with everything going on this week, starting off with the fed being more hawkish than expected, a new variant come economic data, jobs report, weak on top, strong below. net-net with the s&p 500 down about .4%, now headed for a weekly decline to but the real weakness is coming from china tech. look at that index, down 8%. worst day since 2008, that is the degree of selling power, coming from the likes of alibaba and baidu, pressured by didi dow 13.5 percent, being delisted from the u.s.. it is not surprising. the china tech cracked on can move into some of the other china shares. on the other hand, we have some winners. unitedhealth up, home depot, walmart, among the top stocks for the s&p 500. not a lot happening dramatically, but there is some strength beneath the lead for the s&p 500 away from tech. net-net, if you put this together in

abigail doolittle is here. abigail: it's another soft day here for stocks.had that rally midweek, it's been a big rehearsal. the s&p is down 1.2%. off the lows on the week, down 3.5%. it's the worst week since 2021 it. -- february 2021. really interesting it, the bank and ask is down 3%. yields despite being more hawkish on the week are down. that is a conundrum for investors. we will see a pretty significant drop coming in at 11 basis points, in contradiction to the fed saying they are planning on hiking three times in the coming year, reducing -- doubling the taper. investors at this point are buying bonds. that is something to think about. that should help. that's not what's happening. apple, microsoft, alphabet, a big declined. you would think this year was all about the stay-at-home trade. when we go into the bloomberg terminal, we will see where it is an investor to hide right now. we are looking at the reopening trade. at this point, we have the stay-at-home trade and the reopening trade down. that's a very difficult situation for investors. there are

abigail doolittle is standing by. abigail: your car talk is compelling. stocks are higher. another all-time high for the s&p 500 come up if it day in a row, along the street since early november. the bulls are out once again, but light volume, 40% below the 20 day moving average. also higher the nasdaq 100. mixed markets turning to green markets. speaking of green, oil up more than 1%, the best stretch, for a fifth day in a row, since the end of october. traders are relieving that may be the omicron variant is not going to disrupt the economy all that much. moderna up as a vaccine maker. apple, don't ever so slightly. if the stock can somehow eke out , it could pass the $3 trillion mark. incredible that this is the world's largest company, simply up, up and away in the last three years. it has a larger value, market cap of eight country market caps. pretty ridiculous. bitcoin down 3.5 percent, below the $50,000 -- bitcoin down 3.5%, below the 50,000 mark. marathon digital down 6%. microstrategy, of last from the past. a software maker, another have bitcoin on the balance sh

abigail doolittle has details. abigail: a little rebound of stocks after the three-day selloff.of a half percent for the s&p 500. nasdaq up .3%. bigger gains for the russell 2000. you can make the case for a catch-up trade. the bank index up more than 2%. that has everything to do with the backup in yields. we have 10 year yields up eight basis points. this was after the fed went more hawkish with yield flat, but looking at a five day chart of the 10 year yield, this is the fed meeting, basically at the same level. around trip, one year yields, up, up and away, suggesting we may see yields go higher from here. as for the s&p 500 and the rebound rally, we can see that earlier this year in september suggesting that investors didn't know. now the 50 day moving average, above slightly. let's see where we go towards the highs there. there is some reason that we could see that case where they go towards the highs of the range. what way will it break? hard to know, but probably a 2022 event. guy: do you buy the first one and sell the second one? we will find out. president biden's econ

abigail doolittle is here with the market moves. bad news, good news.gail: skittish news of the s&p 500 down for the second day in a row. the nasdaq down even more, but 1%. the second data row, also down. at this point we have seen bonds lower. a bit of a mix. you also have haven bonds. take a look in the spike and volatility. interesting picture. seems like we are back and forth. if we go to the terminal, we will see an interesting picture, too. what we're looking at in blue is the s&p 500. in white, the fall ratio. and it goes higher, says investors are concerned. so they were concerned in july. down, down, down. over the last month, the call ratio is going up. it would suggest some are hedging. you can see the put call ratio still relatively high, suggesting investors are little on edge as suggested by the vix. supporting this picture, investors do not know to make up the macro and certainties between the virus, the fed, inflation. bloomberg commodity index down on the day. i believe for the second session in a row. being weighed on by oil, natural g

so thinking about how would abigail adams you know, first lady abigail adams and compared with penelope winslow and how they would react to each other because there's generations between them. the societies, climate change and the women's changing over those years just over those years, there's so much that is my answer. is that it is such a complex period of time and so we really can't come out of it without looking at real details and specifics pretty. >> eric wrote, details and specifics, as a witness in plymouth colony for the wills or in releases for the landfills by her husband or any things prior to her husband's death pretty. >> is a really good question and is great moment when i found a deed from the 1660s, written by penelope and another one, sarah standish, and so this was indeed, it was interesting and i had to do with the bridge and i had a really important piece of infrastructure. so is how women are participating and making these things happen and so because of these activities, and the government activities, which from the home, often had her or other family members wri

bloomberg's abigail doolittle is here with the details.omicron fears that it was really going to dent the global growth picture. he we are, three up days, heading to another all-time high. the s&p 500 up 3.4%. really and oppressive turnaround similar to what we have been seeing in recent months. clearly, a big piece of this is the reflation trade. banks are sharply higher as yields are higher. what makes this so interesting, the 10 year yield really in the sweet spot, you could make the case, for the fed. right around 1.5%. answer higher, earlier up 1%, but nonetheless a nice lift. we also have a nice lift for the travel trade. if we look at the last five days, you can see the hotel index, the airline index, along with wynn resorts and las vegas sands, are higher. big declines more recently, but nonetheless very impressive with the airline index. the hotel index actually up more than 12% over the last five days. finally, rounding it out, we have energy higher. we have exxon mobil and chevron higher, and of course, gasoline higher, up 0.7%,

abigail doolittle, over to you. abigl:n., at one point down close to 4%, its worst day since may 4. nonetheless, not weighing on the index, nor are apple suppliers in the red. this is a bloomberg exclusive apple is talking about less demand for its iphone in the holiday season. investors do not seem to care. they also said revenue will be at a record, made up by other products and services. investors looking past it. this is not very fearful trading. as for sector wise, green on the screen. very cyclical dominated with financials and energy and industrials up top more than 2%. most of the sectors are back above 1%. we have three opening trade, visa and mastercard some of the top white boosts on the day. fisa saying spending is decent on travel. what a rebound for airline travelers. it is a seesaw day by day but right now the bulls are in charge. alix: a good recap. abigail doolittle joining us. a lot coming up in the next 24 hours. this afternoon president biden will deal out his winter plan to do with covid. we already have

bloomberg's abigail doolittle is looking at all of the movers for us.yesterday we had the big fed induced rally after the meeting, and typically we will see reversal of that, so we are having a reversal for tech in particular. the s&p 500 had slipped negative -- had slipped negative -- had flipped negative, but there's some thought that the ecb was not as hawkish as some folks had hoped. i believe that's what you said earlier. in any case, take a look at the s&p 500, net down 0.7%. probably down on the week. apple is down 2%, and then bonds yesterday flipping a low bit flat after the fomc meeting. now we have a bit of a rally as yields are lower. however, the trend for yield is higher. the uptrend really holds in a nice way. it is up in for that 10 year yield. you can see this over the last year. it is a very simple trendline. sometimes simple is best. you can see that there is a backup in yields. it has not been a straight line. finally, one reason to think that maybe stocks can close to the upside, we have another pocket of risk assets climbing on the

including shades, covers and curtains and we contacted jcpenney, lots of back and forth for a year abigailnally got parts. we asked jcpenney to explain what happened, but they didn't but sent this letter. when you shop by phone, online or by mail, the companies have a month to ship and uncle sam says so. you can watch all our how-to videos on our youtube page and streaming channels and at nbcbayarea.com. just look for the how-to list. >>> steph and ayesha curry along with their program, they are using the holiday to honor local people and programs to honor in the east bay. they started their annual 12 days of christmas. we told you about this yesterday. so day two the currys highlighted the need to rebuild the middle school sports programs highlighted by the pandemic. >> the kids got gear and shoes from under armour, and they got a check to help expand the school's sports program. look at that. it's like a bin full of clothes. somehow when you put on new shoes, you run faster. >> hit a three-pointer like steph. >> not as many. >> but at least one. >> you can see more tonight at 5:00 and 6:

abigail: apple down 1.2% from its worst day in two weeks.y some people were expecting we would see $3 billion in market cap, but easing back. a bit of rethinking on the part of the bulls, the stock is pretty overextended. because apple is a 7% waiting to the s&p 500, we have that index down, the other index is down as well. this apple action seems to be weighing on some of the other big tech names. tesla, after elon musk, was named time's person of the year, shares down almost 6%. not related to what that company will be doing number wise, but it seems to be a sentiment indicator that the situation, the risk on sentiment has gotten too frothy. amazon, nvidia, google all down lower. on the other hand there is one pocket of brightness for the markets. lots of green for some of the vaccine makers. this as the omicron variant, it is said that two doses may not work, there may need to be a booster. pfizer, moderna, novavax, perhaps that up to offer a booster. you can see the shares of the vaccine makers up and away. guy: thank you. that can be a

john adams is the man and abigail adams is in the background.to talk about abigail adams, put her in the spotlight and the men that helped her along. that is episode four from 2011. guest: something else about that , i almost think that -- john quincy adams was a very smart fellow but his mother i believe was one of the most intelligent people we have ever covered on the show. she was born out of time. i often think when we are covering people, if only these people had been born today we may have had a president abigail adams. that was not a path open to her. guest: and being able to talk a little bit about the men of support the women, the fact that she married john adams out of everybody in her world is great. he was supportive of her and not dismissive. there are letters between the two of them out of there and it is a delight to be able to read them. they are very flirty. the subjects they will talk about almost sound very modern. they push the envelope of propriety to the edge and a lot of them. the fact that she married well helped her in

we want to get over to abigail. what are you noticing?: earlier in the premarket, we had stocks higher. now we have the s&p 500 down by about 0.7%. all eyes on apple because there was a big expedition last week after apple rallied in a big way , coming into today, that it could hit that $3 trillion mark. it seems investors are just a little bit nervous. this company has the best profitability of any company in the world, or u.s. company, i should say. right now it is just shy of that $3 trillion mark. let's take a look at the history of this. this is the degree of risk on attitude we have had over the last couple of years. the first time apple hit $1 trillion, late 2018, then dipping, and then solidly above it since 2019. dipping on the pandemic, but up and away. here's that to trillion dollars mark, now just shy of the $3 trillion mark, but the point is over a little more than two years, the world's largest complete by market cap more than tripling. that is incredible risk on sentiment. today taking a little bit of a breather. apple down
