Lennar upgrade, private market investing: Market Domination

It was a quiet day on Wall Street, with the S&P 500 (^GSPC) and the Nasdaq (^IXIC) closing at record highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) closed 52 points lower.  One thing investors were watching was Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's semiannual testimony before the Senate Banking Committee. Powell says the Fed needs to see more data showing inflation is slowing before cutting rates. Claudia Sahm, the founder of Sahm Consulting and former Federal Reserve Board Economist, says the Fed is in a difficult balancing act but that the central bank has, so far, brought inflation down without a recession occurring. Hamilton Lane Co-CEO Erik Hirsch tells investors how they can learn to navigate opportunities in the private market, while Hennessy Energy Transition Portfolio Manager Fund Ben Cook explains why he thinks ExxonMobil (XOM) is a better energy sector pick than First Solar (FSLR). Wedbush Securities SVP of equity research Jay McCanless also joins the program to explain why he homebuilder Lennar (LEN) to Neutral from Underperform. Market Domination anchors Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton also take a look at some of the day's trending tickers, including Tesla (TSLA), Nvidia (NVDA), Albermarle (ALB), Boeing (BA), and Oracle (ORCL).
