I'm Jessica Edinger. CNBC Wall Street opens Wednesday morning after an election day rally for stocks. It was the fifth straight presidential election day with across the board gains for the major averages. The Dow up 427 points, 1% led higher by shares of Intel, which were up three and a half percent. The S&P 500 index was up 70 points, 1.25%.
And the NASDAQ was up 259 points, about 1.5%.
Everybody believes November, December is a buy for stocks.
Whether it's true or not, people believe it.
So I think that's what's going on.
Also, we traded at like a one-month low in the S&P.
