Interesting $AIG: CEO Brian Duppereault leaves CEO role and becomes Exec Chair. This business is harder than even the best execs think.

Nancy Lazar of Cornerstone - one of the best in my view: Politics aside, it looks like timely data say our 5% 4Q real GDP forecast could be too low.

Have a lovely weekend all - thanks for the kind support. Stay safe. My music selection this week is from Carolina Liar. Couldn't decide so a bonus song - "I'm not over" and "When you are near". Enjoy.

Old school retail co with new management - could actually be early innings: 50% digital to 80% and profitability sooner on cost management initiatives and focusing on what consumers want - value and athleisure. #GPS

From my friend, Michael Dick at Mizuho: The S&P 500 is up 54% since late March lows. 41% of the 54% up move has come from the overnight gap alone.

Why it makes some sense to edge into re-open ideas: $LVS "Recovery is well underway in Las Vegas, initial states of the recovery in Macau have been very encouraging, and confidence is beginning to return in tourism spending".

Andy Dalton: quite the backup QB for Dallas: 3x pro-bowler. And is one of 10 QBs in NFL history to have thrown for over 3,000 yards in each of his first 3 seasons and 1 of only 6 to throw at least 20 touchdowns over the same span. #talent

$UAL posts a $1.8B net loss and we cannot get a compromise on fiscal. Helpful.
