there's another painting on the right by charles russell, the famous painter of western scenes. and this was a painting that hung at the lbj ranch that the johnson's subsequently gave to their library. in this case in between there are many gifts that were given to the johnson's, , again by friends, and in some cases by heads of state including there's a wonderful solid gold representation of the mountain where there's a diamond where the sea of tranquility is located. the sea of tranquility is of course where neil armstrong and buzz aldrin first landed on the moon. president johnson of course was very active in the space program, and so that mission occurred after he left the oval office, it was very much part of his efforts that we actually made it to the moon. this is a small private office set up for president johnson, and it was meant to model the private office, the oval office. through that door which are show in the moment is our replicate of the johnson oval office. but this was his small study he used on occasion. it includes a very long couch, very long because johnso

charles: russell being of course, really the best gauge for the domestic economy.t has been like gangbusters. outperforming all other indices. i agree with you there. sylvia, let me go to your wheelhouse, seems like the problem with the in general is too much supply. ipos, direct listings, spacs, even your neck of the woods almost 100 launching, historic numbers. is there too much supply out there and could that cause more problems? >> no, i don't think there is too much supply necessarily. we started the year hot. we had over 87 billion of spacs out there. they have a trillion of acquisition capital in terms of etfs. 100 came out. if you look at the filings there are hundreds of them pending. takes 60 to 75 daysish to get an etf go live. you will see more come out. charles: okay. >> gives access to new emerging technologies. it is cooling off. but i anticipate it to heat back up. charles: michelle, when you come on you give us some names. what are some of your favorites right now as we're in this sort of weird period for this market? >> well i definitely like bank

russel 2,000 is trading above those levels. there's still a lot of opportunity there just small over large. you really can take advantage of that. charles: yeah, i've been looking at the russel. it looks like it stalled for a minute and maybe wants to take off. mitch, your assessment of not the earnings season, because everyone knows its been phenomenonal, but the reaction which to some has been puzzling. >> i think and i agree with courtney. i think there was a lot of high expectation and admit it and it blew people away, but not enough to sort of take the next leg up. i think the macro economic story is a mixed bag and that's what investors are bringing their hands about because they are very worried about inflation. they don't know what the fed's response will be and when, they're very focused on the 10 treasury look what happened yesterday. there was great earnings news and as soon as that treasury ticked up a little bit in yield, boom, the big tech sold off again so there's a lot of cross current so macroeconomic perspective and i think it's just a little bit of a wait and see as we move a little deeper into 2021. charles: courtney

believe the outsized performance for the united states will continue this year the russell is a great place to be. charlesi believe that too. shana, you have the amazing individual ideas. you think there are pandemic winners continue to be winners this year as well, right? >> absolutely. i think amazon, zoom and disney are three stocks that should continue to do well even after we get through the pandemic. amazon prime, i think people really learned that it can make your life easier. you can spend time doing other things when you have amazon prime delivering your groceries to your door, getting all essentials subscribe and save. i think they will continue to use that, continue to use subscriber growth in the prime function of amazon. charles: right. >> zoom, people will be doing remote work, continuing to do so, especially coming out of lock down, people want to see the family. having flexibility, not taking extra time off to work to do that is a good thing. zoom will continue to function that way. disney is a name that really benefited from launching disney plus at the exact perfect time, right before th

russell and energy. so i look at this as a restart to the bull market that continues to exceed expect takes, and i think april's going to be an extremely strong month. charles its strength? >> yeah. of so, listen, there's a lot of momentum right now, right? a lot of money sloshing around, we've got more stimulus on the way in the form of an infrastructure bill. you know, here's my thinking, at the moment there really isn't a lot in terms of legislation or business that's sort of holding us back. we really for the next 6-8 months,, maybe even 12 months to really plow forward, and i do think there's a lot of opportunity even though there are some areas that are overbought. i think there's a lot of money still sitting on the sidelines, which is good. again, my question is a year from now, right? how are things going to change? charles: all right. of i'm going to come to you on those ideas. here's the first headline: goldman says stay overweight u.s. ec with i thinks, bitcoin not an investable asset class in a portfolio. fast forward, bitcoin pushes 60x 60x -- 60k. if think about this, goldman has gone from saying bitcoin is not an asset to now offering a full
