jim kelly said my close association with john brown is one my granddaddy said it that i will be john brown rather than god damned. for most white southerners john brown continues to be satanic, demonic because he aligned himself with blacks and try to make war with the south to leverage the slaves which in this sense is what newton knight does. so he is first written about as a threat to the confederacy during the war but one of the interesting aspects of the civil war was a lot of i think most americans don't appreciate and even some scholars who we think they're wrong is that in many respects the south winds of war and by the end of reconstruction of the south is to a large degree retain the old order of white supremacy, of black. that is not to say the confederacy -- the union army wins, the south windsor the war in terms of preserving the old order. and certainly this how the winds of the war of how this whole war gets talked. 580 niece white southerners are control of how the civil war gets taught him by the 18 as the war is being taught that it is not about slavery, it is not ab

john brown get in on this, i know you're a little bearish but i think i might be able to convert you, i'm working my influence on you. >> i love your fax -- pax amer can no. but we have a rally turning into a suckers rally and could go to 10,000. it's based on three things, first, relief the banks seem to temporally been relieved, thirdly a hope for a jobless recovery and oxymoron and third, reality interest rates will rise and taxes will rise and unemployment will rise and that will stop a genuine recovery. >> unless we can find way out of that. which bull have i not called upon? matt shapiro? >> i think we're running the clock out on the recession. i like this talk of s&p 1,000. the big talk on the floor was one money manager buying 20,000 calls on s&p 500. he $2033 million to control $2 billion worth of the future. >> he bought condos in florida in 2006. trading 17 times all 2009 earnings, don't you think that's very rich for an economy so laden in debt as we are today. >> bob, what do you think? >> what this trader is expecting once we break the 1,000 barrier like the first guest

randy bateman, scott, paul and john brown. you seem kind of conservative.hat do you think of vegas? >> well, conservatively a gambler. i have been to vegas. but this is built on a hope and a dream. it's divided between gamblers and investors. those people who recklessly gamble their money in the stock markets in the near future in my view will be cleaned out .. and those who are very prudent and invest their money carefully will make actually great deals of money and will be really quite rich at the end of the recession. >> scott, what about gambling on casino stocks thems. a lot of them went way low, like below a dollar some of them. then they came back to $12, what do you say? >> a lot of the casino stocks were pricing in projects that weren't going to get finished. they were talking about macau. now credit is easing a bit and so much money has already sunk in. they're taking the bankrupt trade out of it and now the stocks are coming up. wynn is probably the class of the view. then you have lvs and mgm. with traffic increasing in vegas, those stocks are s
