- Summary: NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, UNITED STATES (JULY 26, 2021) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) KRAMER CAPITAL RESEARCH, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, HILARY KRAMER, SAYING: "So everyone's optimistic today as we wait for good news to come from these earnings reports. This will be a strong week in the market. What we have to wait for is for that tipping point, you know, to happen. And again, that's going to come from geopolitical concerns. It's going to come from Delta variant being a lot stronger and more viral than anyone realize. It's going to come from a $3.5 trillion infrastructure package that is going to be just money thrown at people within the Beltway that then go and find outsourcing for it and then outsource it again. All of that is going to lead to the stock market down ultimately."
