Weekly Market Impact

Hi everyone, my name is Phil Blancato, CEO and President, Ladenburg Thalman Asset Management, Chief Market Strategist for Osaic. Welcome to another Weekly Market Impact. It is August the 10th.

I took the wrappings of my fig trees off too early this year and I probably won't get any faces. One beautiful plant I have just died after I took the wrapping off too soon because it got cold again and froze it. So I had to grow from the roots and by the time it gives me a crop, it might be too small. But my broccoli, incredible.
