CHETRY: Twenty-three minutes past the hour. It means it's time for "Minding Your Business" and Christine Romans joins us this morning. And we're talking more just in general about how all of this is playing out on Wall Street.</s>CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT: Oh, wow yesterday, the number 41 was the big number on Wall Street yesterday even before Scott Brown won in Massachusetts because there were bets going on in the health care sector that this was going to mean a stalemate for health reform. And if you look at the Dow it hit a 15-month high yesterday in part because of components like Pfizer and other drug stocks that were helping this go up. So a 50-month high for stocks yesterday. Look at how Wall Street reacted ahead of time to what was going on in Massachusetts. Insurance stocks rallied strongly here. I think Humana was up like seven percent. Pharmaceuticals, a big, big gain yesterday. And hospital stocks down. Why? Because health reform was seen as a net positive for the hospital stocks in part because some of these hospitals are really struggling because they don't get paid for all of their patients and they have a lot of costs that would be helped and managed by health reform. So Wall Street really, really betting ahead of time that this was going to happen. Look, on Wall Street there's a saying, gridlock is good. It's good for a lot of different industries. They don't like -- they don't like Washington kind of mucking up the works for them. And so banking, health care, deficits, the dollar, immigration reform, all of these things, the big Wall Street strategists are trying to figure out what this new landscape is going to look like for all of these things. Just about everything you can think of they're trying to figure out. Hmm, things just got a little more interesting.</s>ROBERTS: All right. Christine Romans "Minding Your Business" this morning, thanks.</s>ROMANS: Sure.</s>ROBERTS: Twenty-five minutes after the hour. Stay with us.
