forty zone. It's going to be chilly there at a night mirror freezing actually, and some of you could be below freezing in the berkshears mostly sunny and drive this weekend, but breezy, blustery, and again high fire risk out there.

Attorney Phil Tracy is not connected to the case, but says if Reid had chose to remain quiet, she'd have a better shot at keeping these off the record conversations private. Do you think it was a mistake doing those interviews?
Absolutely? I would not have allowed her, on any circumstances to talk about the case. The fact is involved. You know she should have remained silent.

Indexes are splitting it right now, so it kind of depends on where you look. Right now, the Dow is up three hundred and thirteen points three quarters percent in fresh record territory s and P five hundred and up twenty one. It's in record territory. NADAC right now is the laggard. It is down twenty four points yesterday. If you recall, the doll at the closing bell was the laggard. The latest snapshot of US consumer sentiment shows a big
spike upward, but it is already somewhat dated. The University of Michigan reading for early November is based on surveys that ended Monday, the day before election day, and Wall Street is kind of treating it like that. Index is mostly holding earlier positions, with many thinking that they ought to wait for the late November update factoring in after election consumer sentiment.
