but the russell 2000, which is a great indicator of the u.s.a bigger picture, again, is actually outperforming the dow today again. so the dow jones 30 is the granddaddy of all the indicators, but it's a great indicator for the global economy, but most importantly for us, it should mean that the individual investor should know they should stop putting their money in the mattress of the u.s. treasury bills and be putting it into stock market. liz: well, you and i have been sounding that message for quite some time, that being in treasuries has been dead money, certainly. and i just want to mention, i'm glad you brought up the russell. later on in the program we have jeff seek ca and jay kaplan of royce battling it out on the best way to enter the russell 2000, whether it should be an index or stocks specifically. stay tuned for that, everybody. ira, we just showed the ten-year yield at 2.61%. do you agree it's under the mattress to put it in treasuries, or is there some weirdness happening and concern where eventually something might pull these

and bill russell's glory for glory and second wind. i think that those are four books that should be required reading for all athletes entering college and professional sports today because they say so much about where we have come from and the sacrifices that were made in order for them to be where they are today. the things that stuck with me about -- about those books and reading them, was first, how well the philosophies, the perspectives, the ethical arguments and so forth of jim and bill have stood up over the last 50 years. the second thing is that they were superstar athletes when they stood up. they weren't a bunch of old guys who had retired and so forth. they were superstar athletes when they stood up and spoke out. the third thing that struck me was that they never were willing to exchange white racism for black orthodoxy. they were always about the people and their argument was that i as a man am part of the people and i insist on being respected as such. throughout their books and then the fourth thing that really blew me

russell 2000 led the selloff we had in back in april. the russell 2000 has been trailing. we see s&p getting toward the all-time high. just as i'm starting to think maybe it gets tired, what happens? the russell 2000 starts exploding higher. why i think there is a little to this rally and s&p. as long as russell continues to move. we continue to see all the momentum money pushing around the rut i think market will move higher. watch the russell 2000. it has been industry leader. it has been the trading leader for the last six months. i don't see any change why it would right now that is the index to watch. adam: michael, let me bring up what mark said about the russell 2000. it has been the leader it has been lacking leadership. a day late and a dollar short? >> i mean it certainly could be. again the big thing for investors in general is to make sure whenever they're buying in, nothing wrong with buying into that, okay, i think there is more push to the future, i really believe we'll see as the other gentleman mentioned we'll see more growth going up until something actua

good to see you. >> my pleasure. >> russell and his book is on sale.he game is available for download.
