investors on Wall Street did not panic Wednesday even as protesters backing President Donald Trump stormed the capital and put the building in tow.

Lock down stocks pared some of their earlier gains, yet the Dow and S and P 500 still sword toe all time highs.

Relative clauses (Restrictive vs. nonrestrictive)

Spartan Capital Securities chief market economist Peter Cardillo said Wall Street look past the chaos in Washington toward Georgia, betting that a Democratic sweep in that state, which delivers Democratic control to the Senate, will lead to more fiscal stimulus and infrastructure spending.

I can't believe what's going on in the marketplace after what's taking place in Washington.

I mean, here we have the capital of the siege.

We have a president of the United States who delivered to his supporters a very defiant speech, saying that he would never concede to an illegitimate, illegitimate president and yet the market is ignoring this.

I want to think that maybe the market investors think well, this is gonna blow over by the end of the day and that, you know, President, President elect Biden will be certified by Congress and we look forward to more stimulants and on perhaps a big infrastructure deal.

A Democrat controlled Senate typically ushers an increased fiscal spending but raises the chances of tax hikes and tighter regulation.

And so tech stocks fell as investors flocked to economically sensitive sectors such as financials, materials and energy stocks.

That drove the Dow up nearly 1.5% and the S and P 500 up more than a half percent.

But the NASDAQ fell almost two thirds percent.

 The potential for Democratic control of Congress also sent the yield on the benchmark 10 year Treasury above 1% a level not seen since March.
