Description

Don Gould and Jeanne Frankel had the morning off, so today's episode was left to me, Jeff Hall and Ken Nemery, our weekly expert on Financial Fridays.  First, it appears as though our desire for live sports are getting closer to realization with 2 golf matches on May 17th and the following week on May 24th.  Jeff Hall discussed both matches that are being played to support the various funds and charities that are set up to help with Covid-19 expenses for many of the first responders, medical professionals and other essential workers that have gone above and beyond to keep us safe and in many cases well fed.  Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson will team up to take on Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff in a skins game on May 17 that will be televised live from Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach, Fla.  Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson's $10 million charity golf match is set for May 24. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson will play in a charity event that will take place on May 24 at 3 p.m. Eastern. The event will feature NFL stars Tom Brady and Peyton Manning and also offer $10 million for Covid-19 relief efforts. We then turned our attention to Ken Nemery for Financial Fridays.  We first talked about market volitality and how the potential of a meat, chicken and pork shortage could contribute to stock market and financial market volitality.  We also discussed some of the motivators that drive investors and how much emotions can play in investment decisions.  Ken went back and looked at previous downturns in 1987 and then again in 2008.  He went on to explain why those downturns are different from what we are experiencing today.  Lasy, I accidently left out the Blue Angel flyover on Friday May 8th at 1pm.
