alan knuckman on floor of cme. alan i was starting with gold but we're startings with market. why the optimism in general? >> as your resident optimist i have nothing to complain about. as you look at it, fundamentals are fantastic. they improved since the last election and i know that is focus next week and the election before that. there is nothing to complain about. the only complaint wages haven't increased since comeback of employment. gdp, low unemployment, great earnings, low energy price, the list goes on and on there. is nothing to complain about but people are still very skiddish for whatever reason. liz: let me just also bring in first time jobless claims out this morning and when you link six months of these together it looks like fewer applications for unemployment benefits have been filed than we've seen any other time in 14 years! so this goes well beyond the financial crisis at the moment. that brings me to mike binger. things look very good. how do you feel about being in stocks right now, or have we miss ad major run-up? >> no, i feel good about stocks right
