Here’s what CNBC TV’s producers were watching on Thursday and what’s on the radar for Friday’s next session. Going for 13 on Friday The Nasdaq is now up 12 straight days. That’s the longest up streak since 2009. The stock market hit a bottom in the midst of the global financial crisis, brought in part by the subprime mortgage crisis. Here at CNBC, it was also the year of the “Haines Bottom,” when the late great Mark Haines said live on TV: “This feels like a bottom to me.” He hit the day dead on. Anyway, later in the year, the Nasdaq picked itself up and at one point went on a 12-day run. We’ve now matched that. During the last 12 market days, the Nasdaq is up 15%. Also during the last 12 days The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 7.5%. The S & P 500 is up 12.5%. Tech and communication services are both up 13%. Energy is down 8% in those 12 days.
