Good morning. The stock market had a brief shakeup on Friday. It came on news that the Democratic-controlled senate may not be as powerful as thought. Following the Georgia election runoffs, the senate is technically split 50-50, but the vice president will have a tiebreaking vote. Enter Joe Manchin. He's a Democrat from West Virginia, with a voting record that's crossed the aisle several times.

Manchin managed to send markets lower on the mere suggestion that he wouldn't support a plan for a $2,000 stimulus check. That announcement alone revealed the truth that with such a narrow majority, any Democratic senator can defect and hold up or derail legislation in the next two years. Fortunately, markets remembered that the Federal Reserve is still printing money like there's no tomorrow, otherwise we might have had a down day.


Now here's the rest of the news:

A Relative Bargain in the Chip Space Ready to Soar
Technology companies continue to push the stock market higher. Finding a bargain, even a relative one, is a tough one. That's especially true with the chipmakers, which are firing on all cylinders.

But for those companies that can provide both the hardware and software, higher profit margins are likely. That points to a possible bargain looking ahead. That's also why it's no surprise that Piper Sandler just upgraded one of the biggest names in the space.

Quote of the Day
In some ways, bad news is good news, because it increases the probability for more stimulus. Investors have convinced themselves this week that given what's happened in Georgia, given the weakness in the economic data, that more help is on the way. We're going to get more fiscal help, and it's likely to happen pretty soon.
- Michael Arone, chief investment strategist for US SPDR Business, on why the stock market has remained resilient amid a tumultuous week.
