one of the most decorated african—american military pilots, charles mcgee, has died aged 102. e second world war, charles mcgee flew 409 combat missions during that war and the korean and vietnam conflicts. mcgee also fought against segregation in the us military. in 2016, he explained what the aims of the tuskegee airmen had been. being brought up, you know, to say we were african—american or black but we were american and the country was at war, we were just as interested in supporting that effort as anyone else about time and so we turned our back on the fact that there was segregation, if you will, and took advantage of the opportunity to prove that we can fly aeroplanes, we can maintain our plans. we can do whatever our education and aspirations could lead us. charles mcgee, who has died at 102. i want to remind you of our top story. the australian open tennis tournament is taking place in melbourne but of course without the participation of the men's world number one novak djokovic. these pictures are coming from dubai, he landed there about 1.5 hours ago, and there about

charles: it has been absolutely remarkable.fourth quarter, the december quarter, you beat the street. you beat consensus. what i thought was intriguing. i'm looking at now wall street consensus for this next fiscal year. this is soaring. they have gone to 357 from $3.07 three months ago. what is so exciting with your company? you're innovative and wall street is starting to see this kind of growth? >> i said more and more people come to our platform. our platform is unique in the sense we are basically computer programsers. we started this company about 43 years ago we started as option market takers. we're very good in the option space. our platform is excellent for people to come in and learn. we have all these educational tears to find ways of playing with options and learn about them. so that is what brings us, all these customers. charles: i think that is the operative word. people want to learn. they're out there to learn. unfortunately they're learning a lot of these lessons the hard way. i really appreciate you taking t

oil prices have people hedging, it has speculators -- charles: right. >> -- and it has real people picking's a much more complicated animal. goldman actually doesn't have a great track record at forecasting oil prices. i'm just simply following the economics of supply-demand that we have had a massive glut of demand build up and inadequate supply to build it and inadequate political will to meet that demand. charles: what about, let's pick up on chevron because they had a big earnings miss this morning. people who own oil stocks, and a lot of folks have rushed to this trade here recently. it does point to the fact you still have to execute even when you have a favorable backdrop. how do you -- what do you say to folks who are just now buying oil stocks? there's upstream, midstream, you know, there's downstream. it's a pretty complex environment, isn't it? >> it is, and i wouldn't be as bullish on the downstream area. we're extremely bullish on the midstream component. but in fairness, charles, chevron executed extremely well. the stock is up massively, well over 100% in the last year. it's

you can find something that has gone wrong someplace but this has not been much of an event. charlesstrains on businesses, listen, aoc went to florida for a reason. the restaurants are open. people are partying. you go to new york city right now, you can't do that, you know, you live in new york. so it is ironic in my mind that you would stop gyms from opening and we want congress to pay gyms because they couldn't open. >> it is stupid. only a handful of states. i like aoc and free state of florida. she might learn something there down what freedom is like instead of usual socialism. this stuff is going nowheres. absolutely nowheres. charles: good. >> omicron will be a blessing, can i say this? >> charles: sure. >> it is almost peaking, comes way down in other countries. second of all it majorly increases natural immunity. it is not at all severe, cold, hardly any symptoms at all, meanwhile is it gives you immunity, natural immunity which is something tony fauci completely missed in the story, moves us closer and closer to told herd immunity, between the vaccines and booster shots an

charles: how bad has it really been? that percent, beneath the surface has been so bad, stocks are getting crushed. what wall street firms are doing now making these crazy price adjustments but many cases so funny they keep the buy ratings. give you apple. ddavidson lowered the paycom. at high-end it was neutral. now it's a buy. we have michelle schneider, david nicholas. are you seeing similar situations in our own work. this could be 700-dollar stock a year from now, or maybe 500-dollar stock, you stay with it, michelle? >> you said what i can say, the old if you loved it at 100 you got to love it at 50, right? you have to have kind of a strategy, where analysts sometimes are so myopic because they're crunching numbers, and they're not thinking about all the signals that we've seen. really what i'm finding is, i have a list but i will not buy on a crashing knife or falling knife. i will wait now. i think that we're still going to be relatively range-bound at some point, but yeah, if i like something like mountain pass,

one of the most decorated african—american military pilots, charles mcgee, has died at the age of 102ns spanning world war two, and the korean and vietnam conflicts. he also fought passionately against segregation in the us military. many believe the sacrifices of black service members, including the tuskegee airmen, helped lay ground for the civil rights breakthroughs of the 1950s and �*60s. being brought up, you know, as they were, african—american, or black, but we're american. and the country was at war. we were just as interested in supporting that effort as anyone else at that time. and so we turned our back on the fact that there was segregation, if you will, took advantage of the opportunity to prove that we can fly aeroplanes, we can maintain aeroplanes, and we can do whatever our education and aspirations, where those things lead us. charles mcghee, who has died at 102. now it's time for across the uk. 16— and 17—year—olds can get covid booster jabs from today in the latest phase of the vaccine roll—out. there's also a big push to increase the vaccination rate amongst ethnic

has been reasonably good. there's some blemishes but we need those good earnings for this market to grab hold. charles: yesterday the news that peloton was suspending production, the ceo has said that's not the case but nevertheless, it wiped out what was a pretty robust rally attempt. i think it was a gut punch to individual investors who just found out also the insiders sold half a billion dollars worth of stock an unflattering video floating around about their operations and i bring this up, bob, because we've seen individual investor bullishness stumble, and it's 25% less than bullishness is 25% less than bearishness. the question, why would an individual investor watching this show right now feeling like maybe they have been had, they have been abused, they bought all this hot stuff like the spac s and the ipo's why would they want to stay in this market? >> well for starters, they aren't alone. there are a lot of professional investors got damaged pretty hard too as you know coming into the year the consensus was the stock market was going up with earnings, up above 5,000, and now we've gone the

kron four's charles clifford has more. with inflation now at 7%. that means that every dollar that someone earns is now worth $0.7 last. >> than it was before the pandemic. for instance, if you bring home $1000, you're out 70 bucks. anyone who's been to a grocery store lately that's probably notice the prices of things are going up. also, a shortage is on some items. if you try to buy an appliance like a washing machine, prices have gone up. if you've tried to buy a used or new car, you probably noticed prices have gone way up sometimes by 30%. and the reason for this is that the economy is actually doing well. people are working. they're trying to spend money, but because of supply chain issues created by the pandemic truck drivers being out sick people quitting their jobs or losing their jobs during the pandemic. it's hard to get things from the manufacturer to the store. so high demand with low supply equals higher prices and higher inflation. now, the federal reserve is charged with keeping an eye on inflation. they have been saying for quite s

this is the cdc has updated its guidance on masks. foxes charles watson has more from atlanta. the biden administration is working to get at home covid test into more people's hands, promising to distribute 500 million free tests starting this week to keep up with demand as the omicron variants surges this month. it's estimated that we will hit approximately 15 million tests today. and we'll have over 375 million at home rapid test in january alone. that's a huge leap. the centers for disease control and prevention updating its guidance on mass, the agency says. people can buy respirators such as in 95, k and 95 without being concerned. they'll call supply shortages. one manufacturer in new jersey has been ramping up production as the omicron variant continues to surge across the nation. we're working 24 7 at this particular time we're hiring nonstop. we're flying in new machinery were ordering excess raw materials to be able to accommodate whatever that that the country needs. meanwhile new research indicates the omicron variant is inherently milder among children under the ag

great opportunity for the government to get even larger than it already has grown which has been exponentially, charleshave to make good use of a crisis. that is effectively what our government has done. the fact is that inflation has come, a whopping majority from government action, both monetary and fiscal policy now we have the wage price spiral which you just alluded to, scarcity of workers driving prices higher. that is going to keep inflation far from transitory, far from persistently transitory as the fed almost humorously noted in several communiques over the past year making it more of a structural phenomenon and that is very pernicious for the american people. we've seen scarcities that comes as a result of enterprises being shut down over covid. we've seen large-scale injections and redistribution of wealth both from the fiscal and monetary side. as your previous guest judy also highlighted, very important to consider that a lot of this wealth redistribution has come from main street into the pockets of wall street. the big guys have gotten a lot bigger. charles: yes. >> s&p is at record hig
