Squawk on the Street - A podcast by CNBC
Categories:
Carl Quintanilla and Jim Cramer explored markets trying to rebound from the worst week for stocks so far this year. Are investors right to bet on more volatility? The anchors reacted to notes from top strategists: Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson on what's "critical" for the S&P 500 -- and Goldman Sachs' David Kostin on the stocks that are hedge fund and mutual fund "favorites." Carl and Jim discussed Warren Buffett's letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, including the what the "Oracle of Omaha" wrote about Berkshire's top holdings as well as critics of buybacks ("economic illiterate"). Also in focus: Union Pacific shares rally on news the railroad will replace its CEO in wake of hedge fund pressure, Pfizer reportedly in talks to acquire cancer drug maker Seagen, plus what to expect from a big week of retail earnings including results from Target and Lowe's.
