Closing Bell: Choppy Trade, Betting On Banks & ESG Hypocrisy? 12/7/22

Stocks struggling for direction on lingering recession fears. The CEO's of both Citigroup and JP Morgan raising fresh concerns about a recession. JP Morgan Chief U.S. Economist Michael Feroli says economic growth this quarter has been strong, but the odds of a recession next year are increasing. Bank stocks have been significant underperformers recent. Barclays' Jason Goldberg explains why he sees buying opportunities for the big banks, but Hennessy Funds' David Ellison is more cautious because he sees more headwinds for the banks. Cowen's Helane Becker discusses why she thinks airline stocks are oversold and reveals her top picks. Goldman Sachs' Jonny Fine weighs in on the recent decline in treasury yields and why he predicts we will never see the Federal Reserve raise interest rates by 75 basis points again. And Bluebell Capital Co-Founder Giuseppe Bivona explains why he is calling for Blackrock CEO Larry Fink to step down for what he says is "hypocrisy" over the asset manager's ESG messaging.
