Description
Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber led off the show with a look at the markets and how the decline in yields is impacting big and small investors alike. Stocks that are part of the reopening trade in focus as the COVID Delta variant continues to spread and the pace of vaccinations is starting to rebound. Jim explains why he thinks "the 'I'm probably going to be okay thesis' is still playing out." Carl, Jim and David stayed on top of the moves in shares of Robinhood, extending Tuesday's rally and soaring more than 50-percent during the first half-hour of trading -- the stock was halted a number of times due to volatility. They also reacted to what SEC Chairman Gary Gensler told CNBC about the so-called "meme stocks": He said "the retail engagement is positive" but adds investors must be protected from fraud and manipulation. The anchors also engaged in a lighthearted discussion about the second episode of "Jeopardy!" with David as guest host: Highlights include Faber's exchange with the defending champion about where he might invest his winnings. The "Mad Dash" segment even included a twist on the "Daily Double." Also in focus: Earnings winners and losers including General Motors' profit miss and what CEO Mary Barra told CNBC about the chip shortage and her outlook for the second half of 2021. In the mix: The monthly ADP jobs report that surprised Wall Street, plus the antitrust enforcement fallout - what's at stake for companies involved in pending M&A deals?
