[ laughing ] that works. >>> welcome back to "fast money. let's bring in mike. what is the options market >> we did see more than two times the average daily options today. the options market is implying a move of about $5.60 or so by the end of tom's raiding, about 4% of the stock price and $8 higher or lower by the end of next week it's an abbreviated trading session due to the holiday, about 5.4% or so that's less t

karen was right. in texas, democrats thought they had a chance of taking control of the texas house. that would be for the first time since 2001. and, maybe, when a state tried race on the strength of biden winning, or challenging trump in texas. they thought maybe that biden could do that and it did not happen. a lot of it was because people perhaps were number one, voting against trump, trying to get trump out of office, but at the same time, we like our state rep, we like our congressman, we like our republican senator. perhaps some of that went on. >> jonathan, looking at the numbers that we have seen for both biden and trump, were you surprised at these record turnouts? >> i mean, if you had told me 81 million people were going to vote, i might have believed to, but i would've thought it would be both sides, but not 81 million for one candidate. looking at roughly 135 million people voting, i think in the last election, we were at the 120 some mark, 125, 128, something like that. the increase was

>> all right. >> and, karen, i do hope -- >> encore, excuse me, go ahead. >> karen, i hope we can get this to you asap and that we can get this solved before the eviction moratorium ends. >> thank you. >> karen, does this give you a little bit of hope? >> it would be awesome if this could happen it. >> would help so many people. the saddest part after being on your show was hearing from so many people who have already been evicted and are living in cars. the woman who's looking for someone to take the front seat out of her toyota because she's going to have to move into her car next friday. families that can't afford food. so many people reached out and said, like, what can i do, and i'm one person, i don't know, i know what florida's like. it's just a national catastrophe that's going to get worse. >> it is. encore and karen, thank you to you both so much. please both stay in touch. karen you especially, please stay in touch with me. i want to know what is happening you and in any way we can help. that wraps up the hour for me. i'm yasmin vossoughian. i'm going to be back here. rudy

karen: we are most excited about north asia. i think not just china, but some of the surrounding countries really did manage to put the pendant behind in the spring -- the pandemic behind in the spring. sorta fascinating how they did this. it is partially their internal nearlys, and an expert effective test entry system, but they have had external border controls. i think it has been so effective. but you look at where they are in terms of the level of activity. china is back to its precrisis levels. worldk that part of the is clearly looking further ahead in terms of overcoming this, and then i would think that we are probably going to be looking at europe and the u.s. on the of just depends speed with which authorities are vaccinate populations. i imagine it is going to be a fairly timid or timescale -- fairly some other timescale for europe and the u.s.. i think it is really that question of how quickly those vaccines can get rolled out, whether the cheaper options on the market such as the astrazeneca one comes to fruition,

he took the fire as a job because he wanted to demonstrated safety and effectiveness to the public karen and i were more than happy to step forward before this week was about. to take the safe and effective coronavirus vaccine that we have secured and produced for the american people as we reach this extraordinary in historic moment in the life of our nation let me urge every american to continue to do your part but the health of your family your neighbors and your community 1st practice good hygiene wash your hands practice social distancing or wear a mask whenever it's indicated. the french president emanuel mccraw has given an update on his condition after testing positive for corona virus he said he's doing well but has slowed down however he is still doing some work including on bricks that negotiations cement wrong tested positive on thursday in isolation germany's hit a record number of corona virus infections just 2 days after imposing tighter restrictions there were more than $30000.00 cases in 24 hours for the 1st time since the start of the outbreak. ethiopia's government is o

. >> maybe rough spots early and then move towards 4,000 karen bring us home what do you think? >> interesting, nobody was down on the numbers you cited for street analysts. i'm always optimistic. i am optimistic now. even if we see hiccups in the distribution of the vaccine and how many people take it and how helpful it is, i think it will be tremendously positive for sentiment even if companies don't yet have the traffic that they need to get back to where they were. i still think people will be very bullish i will be bullish. i think of the portfolio i have, if i don't think something will go up 10 percent then i shouldn't own it there's enough risk in the world. if you think there's down side and less than 10 percent upside probably isn't a great risk reward so that would put me in the camp of at least ten percent. >> two things i heard was interesting, guy's initial kick off point about the total value of global equities and total value of s&p 500 being greater than the gdp and then dan your point that there's a lot of earnings anticipation built into where stock prices are

karen, we've all been watching this very closely. what's -- what's your proclivity at this point when it comes to the stock? earlier you said you would look to short it. >> yes thank you for bringing up a very painful trade. so i put in an order to short market on close, and then when i saw the stock trading down at maybe 3:40 p.m., trading down, right, ten bucks, i don't remember, 12, i thought, wow, this is not quite what i was expecting how this was going to play out so i cancelled my short, and it ended up the market on closed price was what 695 i think? so that was very distressing that i did nothing i would have covered right away. i was trading in the after hours or monday morning, so i -- i have no tesla position and yet i feel worse than i did yesterday having no tesla position i don't know >> let's bring in our guest from grace capital. happy to have you here on the panel. amongst the broader trader panel here you're actually bullish longer term. >> i'm bullish on tesla. i think tesla is being priced. it's expensive everyth

on russian foreign affairs and political analyst at the russian academy of sciences and the new york karen greenberg director at the center on national security at fordham university school of law she's also host of the vital interest podcast jody let me start with you today how grave a threat is this attack to the united states federal government and how exactly was it accomplished i think that threat is the greatest we've seen so far so it's at the highest level the attack was a combination by compromising the software signature process or solar winds. there ryan software and malware was sent out through a riot through solar winds as a software update it went to about 800000 government and public sector and of these and private sector companies so about 800000 organizations globally could have downloaded this mouse where in the software update karen how is this attack different from previous hacks. yeah i think it's. going to just underscore what jodi just said the scope is incredibly that it effects not just agencies across the government in a way we haven't seen before but also it has

karen, what do you think? >> iink it's a pretty safe prediction-- it's going to be chaotic. >> nawaz: "chaotic," that is the word karen is going to leavt us david what, about you? >> narcissistic. one important point biden made is it's not a black box going on in the administration but there e a lot shadows. the incoming team doesn't know what's out there. and he said one of the reasons he picks experienced people is people to know where everything is buried because the trump admistration is not helping. it's melting down from the top and bottom in all particulars. >> nawaz: there will be a lot of news fo sure inthe weeks ahead and the months ahead. and i'm so grateful to both you for joining us on this day to break it all down. karen tumulty and davibrooks, thank you for being with us. >> merry christmas. >> nawaz: this holiday sson, more than a million americans will have an empty seat at the table due to covid. as we do every friday, we want to take a moment to tell you out five people who lost their lives

[laughter] >> are you immunocompromise or suppressant? vice president pence: no. >> all right. good to go. >> great job. great job. >> before you leave today, you will be getting a shot record proving you received the vaccine from us today. it's a twodose series so that means you will come back in 21 days for the second one. again, with any vaccine you could have a pretty sore arm at the injection site. any redness. if anything happens make sure

i want to thank my wonderful wife, our second lady karen pence, the surgeon general, dr. tony fauci, members of the coronavirus task force who are joining us here today. i especially want to thank the fine medical team at walter reed hospital that administered our vaccine today. i didn't feel a thing. well done. and we appreciate your service to the country. you know, as the christmas holiday approaches, this is always a season of hope. we gather here today at the end of an historic week to affirm to the american people that hope is on the way. and karen and i were more than happy to step forward before this week was out to take the safe and effective coronavirus vaccine that we have secured and produced for the american people. it's truly inspiring day. as the people of this country witnessed this past week under operation warp speed, the first coronavirus vaccine is literally being administered in states across the country to millions of americans. make no mistake about it, it's a medical miracle. the average vaccine, i'm told by our experts, usually takes between eight

they will be real attractive stocks in 2021 >> it's karen. tom, thanks for being on the show kudos to you for having good calls many times throughout the year in the period of time, how many years qualify to set up for that december that you refer to with market up 10 to 15%? >> there are 75 years between 1945 and today, of which 13 fall in that 10 to 15% range. so 100% of the time you had gains. there were 23 instances where you were up more than 15% year-to-date and the markets were up 77% of the time. we are talking about 100% s&p. >> i love karen's questions. tom, your forecast is for triple next year? you stand by that or do you want to ratchet that higher given the run we have seen >> what that triple is based on is the year after happening. bitcoin had a happening this year bitcoin is up almost 200%. it has had a great year but looks textbook it's really the year that follows the happening. so 2017 is the year following the happening. so i think 2020 is more like 2016 where the rally was starting so 2021 would be like 2017 2017 was an

one more, karen. there you go. i am so thrilled to be here with all of you today and i just want to start because john mentioned the lack of a bus this year. so, you know, let me just ask each of you how was this-- this campaign was different in so many ways. what we're used to, but karen, let me start with you. how was it different for you because of covid? >> well, at "the washington post," we were all sent home the second week in march and you know, unless you could make an argument that your travel was absolutely crucial, the paper put a lockdown on it. in fact we're not back in our office until probably next june at the earliest. so, i think those of us who have been out there for the primary season, you know, this is the very moment where this is kind of pivoting into the general election. we know who the democratic nominee is it going to be and i just really felt that it was very, very difficult to sort of try and get a sense of what was really going on, but we were not the only ones to have that problem. in

normally come as karen pointed out we are ready to get into it. the conventions are on hand and yes we are not at the dallas morning news either , but if you weeks or months to be conventions? when will we get back out there? and that was sad in a way because every four years and we didn't have it of course and he understood that but that our season was severely altered. >> thinking back to the convention what was it like watching them? >> i was in the best place possible to watch the convention which was my living room. every prayers when they are back to back and to maintain sobriety is difficult so at some level it's refreshing to pay attention to the speeches and not have all of the outside aggravations. on the other hand, it's a huge loss in terms of sourcing. it's a great place to talk to people that are inaccessible and to build your rolodex. there is a real loss on that level. as far as the public goes, these were scripted. we don't normally see that. everybody remembers 2016 when ted cruz walks onto the convention floor and says vote your

karen: i don't think they have met. the prime minister has met a number of democratic contacts very close to the biden team. that includes the incoming secretary of state, if he gets senate confirmation. i think the prime minister was the first leader to speak to the president. they talked about a great many things including the free-trade deal, northern ireland, the importance of the agreement and northern ireland. workingforward to together on climate in particular and covid recovery. covid recovery is going to be at the heart of what we want to do. we think that will work well with president-elect biden's priorities. francine: i don't know if you were on that call between the leaders but what was the chemistry like? karen: i was not on the call. this was handled directly between the offices. i have talked to the prime minister. i think the chemistry was fine. importancem know the of personal relationships. they have a lot in common. they were warm, friendly, both of them agreed there is a lot to do. very important th

and the deliverable as karen described was the summary. notice of eligibility that summarized the interviews with the household and our understanding of the benefits available to them based on the interviews. and then also to gather information that is helping tida and one treasure island plan for the development of residential sites and the transition housing units. as we look forward to 2021 and beyond, one of the things we're cognizant of is that the impact that covid-19 may have had on residents and particularly as it relates to household income in that we may need to go back and extend opportunities or we intend to go back and extend the opportunity for people to have follow-up conversations with their advisor as their household circumstances have changed. where they may not have thought they could qualify for affordable housing before, perhaps they could or, you know, just to follow up on the conversations and see where households are. ar/ws has been providing households with multiple levels and types of affordable housing. there's t

i see a move back up to $22. >> karen? >> taking the play book from trade it or fade it, where we said trade whirlpool, which i like. not expensive here. i like the move. >> guy dam adami, what bottle were you opening? >> did large bottle ofvodka. my daughter is cooking >>> welcome to "mad money." my job is

wonderful hank my ife and second lady karen pence, tony fauci, members of the coronavirus task force who are joining us here today. to thank the ant fine medical team at walter reed our tal that administered vaccine today. i didn't feel a thing. well done. nd we appreciate your service to the country. you know, as the christmas oliday approaches, this is always a season of hope. we gather here today at the end affirm tooric week to the american people that hope is way.e and karen and i were more than happy to step forward before out to take the afe and effective coronavirus vaccine that we have secured and produced for the american people. inspiring day. as the people of this country week under past operation warp speed, the first coronavirus vaccine is literally states ministered in across the country to millions of americans. mistake about it, it's a medical miracle. i'm told byvaccine, our experts, usually takes between eight and 12 years to and then mothanufacture and but we're on track here in the united states to administer millions of doses to less thanan people in one year. i

here to break all of that down for us is c n nbccnbc's karen t. good morning, karen. >> good morning, phillip and frances. ipo fever is continuing to rise. airbnb has risen it gives the home sharing company a valuation of $47 billion, all this despite the travel being disrupted by the pandemic you may recall that its revenue which has been slightly better than in previous quarters was still down 19% on a year ago and was forced to go back to the market in april to raise $2 billion in fret debt you've seen out-of-town get a y aways go up. meanwhile it's been a winner for doordash the delivery stock rose 896% on day one. its stock is also -- when it came to the market it was priced above its target range they had concerns about its valuations it needed to hit around market share to deliver on this valuation. it is now trading at a hefty premium of 17 times revenue. if you think how highly valued some of the technology companies are, this is a much higher multiple than the likes of amazon or google so it's for the brave to venture into some of these

relationships with a lot ofoodti people, including mitchcl mcconnell. >> nawaz: karen to-- sorry, karen, go ahead. >> well, the other thing that'st important here is the need and the urgency at this moment is so reat. >> nawaz: it's a point we captain make enough upon i dopt want to ask you about another point david made, which was biden does occupy this center-left space. he's getting a lot of pressure already from the left wing of the party to take big action early on things like clilite change and immigration, and to do so through executive action. now, this administratiohas triggered a lot of conversation around the limits of presidential power. do you think that biden is likely to use some of those presidential powers early to make those big changes early in his administration? >> i asked him exactly that question. i and he said there will be a number of exetive orders thatde he does on day one-- rejoining the paris climate accord, giving some help to the dreamers,me undoing some of the loosening of environntal regulations thatvi happened on president trump's watch. but he also id

i would definitely invite karen if karen is on to talk a little bit about that. there are many opportunities in our system to streamline the hiring process. unfortunately a lot of those conversations happen outside of behavioral health. they are things required in the dhr policy and civil service rules that have been in place for 100 years. there is opportunity to improve. i definitely agree that is not acceptable. we need to hire faster, but that conversation how we improve the hiring process really belongs at the city level. karen, i don't know what else you want to add. >> hi, yes, i am karen hill, director of staffing for department of public health. based on what marla actually put the nail into the explanation. great job, marlow. we have processes in place to create a barrier. i hate to say barrier. we are civil service employees but there are processes in place to improve and remove those barriers. we have improved our internal processes with the department of public health to increase -- well decrease the time it takes to hire and remove some of those del

karen pointed out freeport, u.s. steel, a number of different names that have been off to the races. in terms of the banks we did the math game and i took the math in college one day and we pointed out when kcitibank was trading at.41, we said it made no sense. where it should go, 85% is reasonable it's at 80% now. i hit it that's where we are going into banks and then we could have another conversation. >> dan, what is your take? >> i think these guys surrounded the trade, mel i would say we have had this sharp move off the bottom. i like to draw lines, took an art class for one day in college. guy went to math class one day go back 20 years to 7% and then topped out at 5% prior to the financial crisis and then 3% about two years ago and right before the pandemic at 2%. this was before the feds had to take emergency action bringing the rates to zero. i draw a line and say go to 1.5, have at it as tim might say. but every time we have seen a rise in rates we have seen a knee-jerk reaction in stocks going back four ye

the voice of karen pollock from the holocaust educational trust there. the changing face of the nhs over the last 40 years has been caputured in a series of photographs, taken by a former paramedic. chris porsz started his career as a hospital porter in 1974, before joining the ambulance service, and has spent decades snapping pictures of colleagues and patients. he's compiled them all into a book — as emma baugh reports. look this way. he's been capturing colleagues on camera for more than 40 years, charting the changes of the nhs. it's a thank—you for decades of dedication, but most of all for this, most difficult of years. it's my tribute to the staff, the doctors, nurses, the cleaners, everybody. they've made an amazing contribution, they've got us through this at great sacrifice, at great personal sacrifice. i've got the greatest of respect for them. it's been an incredibly difficult year. i'll be honest, we're dreading going through it again, the nurses, doctors, they're exhausted. and ijust make this plea to the public really, that you can rea

i want to thank my wonderful wife, our second lady, karen pence, the surgeon general, and dr. tony fauci and members of the white house coronavirus task force who are joining us here today. i especially want to thank the fine medical team at walter reed hospital that administered our vaccine today. i didn't feel a thing. well done. and we appreciate your service to the country. you know, as the christmas holiday approaches this is always a season of hope. we gather here today at the end of a historic week to affirm to the american people that hope is on the way and karen and i we're more than happy to step forward before this week was out to take this safe and effective coronavirus vaccine that we have secured and produced for the american people. it's truly an inspiring day. as the people of this country witnessed this past week under operation warp speed the first coronavirus vaccine is literally being administered in states across the country to millions of americans. make no mistake about it, it's a medical miracle. the average vaccine i'm told by our experts usually takes

karen is exactly right. no matter what happens in georgia, this is going to be a narrowly divided senate. i think it will be a republican senate but narrowly divided and the house is also narrowly divided. we're already starting to see procedural shenanigans against speaker pelosi from the left side of her own caucus. that's going to be something she's going to have to watch and it means that she, for the first time, really in her career is going to have to govern in a bipartisan way as senator mcconnell is used to doing in the senate. >> you said senator mcconnell is used to doing that, but tell me about this republican reaction because i want to dive into that. we've seen senate republicans, including the majority whip start to reject the president's calls for congress to challenge that electoral vote. what do the next few weeks look like as we enter this new year, this new administration? have republicans already moved on to a post-trump washington? >> yes. and i think that he will continue to be powerful

go on, karen. >> so, the three things i'm going to say here. first of all, cornell and i did do that poll together. i wasn't saying you weren't saying we did that together. we did that together and we talked to suburban white women. we talked to some suburban white women outside of chicago not long after some of the violence that he rupted there. and what we found is when you talk about the language of what is in the george floyd justice in policing act, people very much agree with it. they agree with the idea of accountability in policing. but the -- but i think there's a larger issue and there's a couple of pieces. the activist in me and the black woman in me that has herself been profiled, cuffed and ended up in a jail cell because of a fine for a sikt knows we need reform. 1 unhad 100%. and i get the language that activists are trying to use to push us forward. i don't disagree with president obama that what can happen is that people may not listen to the second seintence after defud the police about the vision we're talking about when we t

joining me right now are two volunteers who took part in pfizer's trials, karen and steve. thank you for coming on to speak with me. a big question that everyone wonders is why did you want to volunteer? >> just probably public service, doing our part. and we both -- my mother, steve's parents have people that are in -- at an at-risk age or state and felt it was important for us to help expedite this. >> plus we're both healthy and in an age group i think they were interested in having tested. we're both late middle age, so figured we'd be good participants. >> honestly, you don't give yourselves enough credit at all. you went above and beyond to put your health at risk. you didn't know and you put yourselves out there to do this. it truly is a wonderful patriotic thing you did. one thing you don't know as far as my best understanding is who got the vaccine and who got the placebo. i'm told you have a guess because steve you did suffer side effects from the vaccine. can you describe what you felt? i know a lot of folks are wondering what they're going to go through potentia

joining us now is one of johnson 's colleagues in the michigan house democrat representative karen whitsit, representative thank you so much for being here this morning, we appreciate it. presumably, you know representative johnson but to call for the troops who goes on to say do it right, be an order, make them pay, this just can't be okay. >> well, let me be clear. i do not agree with what she said. i do, however, agree with the sentiment behind it and why i say that is because me being a democrat and being part of the democratic party, when i spoke out against racism within my own party, and spoke out about leadership with being racist and what i mean by that there were black employees that

management karen maginnis joins us now. karen, good to see you. how bad are we expecting this to be, this storm? >> this has the potential to be so broad an area across the united states, all the way from the four corners of the u.s. into the central plains, the northern tier and into the great lakes region. it encompasses a broad set of real estate across the united states, and ice is going to be the big problem with downed trees and power lines, very dangerous road conditions. but it also affects some of those higher elevations, even across portions of wyoming, into kansas, and into michigan as well. it looks like the heaviest amounts will be between interstate 80 and interstate 88 and interstate 35. essentially that encompasses portions of iowa into illinois and across missouri, kansas, and into nebraska. but not everybody is going to start out with snowfall. some areas could start out with rain chaining over to sleet or freezing rain and then snow. and it's going to be blowing snow. all right. take a look at this. this is out of mt. baldy, cal

karen: as far as president trump running in four years, i have no idea. expression, four minutes in politics is a long time. i have no idea what four years to bring us. this town isat exhausted by the last four years. hear from a lot of people in congress, certainly staff -- again, on both sides of the aisle -- that it is time to get the business of government done. areink all of us here hoping that what happens is not that we get back to the way things used to be -- because there is no panacea looking back -- that there is a forward-moving agenda. i do believe that with president-elect biden in the white house and vice president-elect harris and their are, again, seasoned professionals. they do know how to get things done, and the president-elect knows how to govern. i am very hopeful. vonnie: thank you so much for your time today. -- karenmmond 10 oh tramontano, ceo of blue star strategies. this is bloomberg green -- bloomberg. ♪ vonnie: this is bloomberg markets. time now for our stock of the hour, which is tesla. goldman stocks upgrading the vehicle
