welcome to cramerica. other people want it make friends, i just want to make you money. my job is to educate and teach you. now it is you'll about the prism. the prism we put a our thoughts through. a positive prism produces positive results that might otherwise be viewed as negative. that's how we can advance again with the dow gaining 92 points, s&p rising, nasdaq gaining 9.4% after a seemingly endless rally and yes we are indeed just a stone's three away from dow 20,000. the idea of a more positive prism for examining the value of stocks is a good way it put this. good way to put the rally in context. it means this entire run may not be so easy to uproot or repeal as many people think. it means that while yes this market has moved up pretty dramatically that there is a new way of viewing things. a belief that president-elect donald trump will fulfill his mission to get the economy really roaring again. you know i like do my own research and rely on my own thought processies, but over time i've learned it is okay to listen and learn and quote people who know what they'
