courtney: they have. they do not want additional funding for the states and speaker pelosi said she would want more funding for the states. that is one of the key areas where there is disagreement. there is not a clear path forward for how they will bridge those differences to come to a $1 trillion package. we could still see agreement for a smaller package due to some type of extension for unappointed benefits and moratoriums on evictions. there are still problems to get another $1 trillion package past. david: they also have to renew to spend money for the u.s. government. the deadline is december 11. is it likely given the shortest time, you might have to combine those things? what they're trying to do is get the stimulus tag onto funding for the government. we could see extensions for unemployment insurance. we could also see a one-week resolution so they have more time to fund the government. the december 11 deadline is quickly approaching. david: we have heard from joe biden yesterday in which he sa

courtney: exactly.oes all come down to georgia here and the race really isn't over. when it comes to the economy and comes to the market, if the g of op does get those two seats that's going to mean gridlock which means a lot of these changes probably won't happen and that's what the markets like to here hear, definitely, that e won't see a lot of change. it will be in everyone's mind as we come back to january. maria: we will take a break and come back. stay with us. we'll be right back. is that ireland...1953? how did you know? mom...that was taken at the farm. it was in this small little village. in connemara? right! connemara it is. honestly, we went there- oh, oh look at that! look at that. maria: welcome back. good thursday morning, everybody. thanks so much for joining us. i'm maria bartiromo. it is thursday, december 3rd. let's take a look at markets this morning, 6:31 a.m. on the east coast. we have a mixed story, dow industrial down 24, nasdaq up 24, s&p 500 down a fraction. this after a mixed

some valuations and how much further those stocks may need to fall john najarian, jenny harrington, courtney gibson is the president of loop capital markets. let's go to the wall let me show you where stocks are currently trading. the market has been mixed, dow down by 100, nasdaq and russell 2000 positive. money coming into the dip in the nasdaq and technology, getting it back in the green we are of course focused on airbnb and that ipo, the gang before us walked us right up to the ipo. we're still waiting on that first trade. $68 is where this thing was priced, indicated at $154, more than double, as you can see. it could be the biggest opening ipo surge since 2008 that according to bloomberg. so it is off to the races again, the day after door dash just knocked the doors off and really delivered big time josh, what do you make of just what we're seeing here you've got this pullback in tech yesterday, a big surge in door dash now we're looking at another one for airbnb, amid all of these questions of whether we've got a giant pocket that needs to deflate. >> money continues to rotate aroun

courtney, extreme rule or right on time? courtney: i thought it was odd timing.e with covid where mental health is increasing, people are nervous to travel and everybody has adopted dogs right now and i think when i initially saw the headline i did think it would include dogs, it doesn't, i'm happy to see that. i think a lot less people will travel with exotic pets. we want to get people flying, help people through emotional issues, it seems like an odd timing to me personally. dagen: it's a revenue grab. always has been. the reasons they made a stink about it, because they charge you if you bring your dog in a carrier on the plane, like delta charged you i think it's $250 round-trip just for the dog to sit underneath the seat. so it's about money, nothing else. next, robots busting a move, boston dynamics does it again with all your favorite robots coming together for a dance. take a listen. ♪ do you love me. ♪ do you love me. ♪ do you love me. ♪ do you love me. ♪ do you love me. ♪ do you love me. ♪ now -- dagen: atlas, spot and handle, the robot crew got togeth

we look, courtney at the red on the screen. what do you think it is all about? took particular attention to the russell 2000. these are the small caps, right? they have been left out of the past three days of the record run the major averages are enjoying. what does that tell you? >> you have to look at this in a bigger picture. over the last month or two the small caps way outperformed as you're starting to see rotation from the big companies into the smaller companies as we look out to next year because if we are under the assumption that the economy is going to recover, that is kind of the general consensus right now your small caps are some of the most sensitive to those. yes, especially with the stimulus you will get ups and downs here. that is pretty normal. we want to focus more on the longer term especially with the vaccines which are more important which they think 100 million americans will have the vaccine by march and the economy could be reopened by the summer. if you think of that, all the spending power that will come mid to late next year that is

courtney, i want to go to you.hink about this, the world every single day i don't know what it is we create untold amounts of data. every day around it is going to the cloud. it is going to be mined, secured and. can these stocks keep going the way they have been going? >> i don't think this trend is going away. the cloud is huge essentially from covid lockdowns where everybody works from home. in all reality we'll see that continue. there has been interesting headlines. amazon web services is one of the big cloud services. they have twitter, will be using them for a lot of their data. they recently announced moderna will use them to facility at this time getting their vaccines out there. talking about how crucial this is we're seeing vaccines get out using the cloud and that will continue. from an investment standpoint investors have to be aware of how much growth they already have had and how much of that might be priced in. if you look at their ratios. they're trading 83% what they were last year. which is prett
