pai, jim cramer, good to have you on the show.hank you so much. >> appreciate it. >> try to get a sense of this new administration versus the old. you started by saying light touch regulation. i think a lot of people are buying stocks basically thinking that the government's going to get out of the way of business. is that your sense? and how does it play out on a daily basis? how do companies benefit if you take a lighter touch? >> that's a good question. so some people think that the government should preemptively regulate every marketplace regardless of whether there's a market failure. others might say the government has no role whatsoever. my own view is that light touch regulation means that we create broad regulatory frameworks to protect consumers to ensure an overall competitive marketplace. but we shouldn't micromanage how these companies operate their businesses in the absence of evidence of market failure. and so light touch regulation in this context means that we let this dynamic industry, arguably the most dynamic t

and maybe, steve, it has something to do and, tom lee, i'll ask you about an article that jim cramer penned for cnbc.com. i urge all of you to check this out. in that there's been a tectonic shift, he says, in the market, that means buy not sell a rate hike. the economy is doing better, that business is doing better and more confident, and that the fed hiking now is a sign of strength, not weakness. >> i mean, i would whole heartedly agree with all the points being made there. i mean, i think we are mid cycle in a bull market, and the last ten years $7 trillion of household savings basically none of it go into the stock market. and most of it in the bond market. so a reallocation into stocks and we know pensions, you know, if you look at any of the oec data, the allocation of pensions is ten-year low. there's a lot of money to move into stocks. but, again, i think we're entering a period where it's a policy put over a fed put and that's why we kind of think choppier markets. >> steve, we're under two minutes before we're going the get this joint news at the white house but this notio
