 They were slammed once again by trade concerns the Nasdaq composite down nearly 3% at the worst of the selling before pairing some of those losses Melissa Armo of stockswush.com joins us now. Good morning, Melissa. Great to have you here the big headline today Of course GE right we're hearing that they're planning to spin off their health care business as well as shed ownership of Baker Hughes This is a company just tossed out of the Dow Really in big trouble here. What do you make of these headlines? I'm really not sure if this is gonna save GE as you just mentioned. They were just thrown out of the Dow They've been part of the Dow forever almost it seems but the stock has been in such a huge drown trend for so long They haven't been able to do anything to turn it around. They're trying to save money cut costs wherever they can So I guess selling this piece of it is probably only going to be the beginning They're gonna try to find they're gonna try to probably sell other pieces of their business as well Unbelievable how quickly that company has come apart. I know let's move on to other sell-offs Okay, and that would be tech the Nasek down 2% yesterday. You talk about unintended consequences of federal policy It's all about what we're talking about with with trade the big debate over trade We saw some of the big semiconductor makers the chip stocks down and down hard and vidya companies like that micron Autodesk Seagate. What do you make of this was this over done yesterday? I don't think it was over done I think these stocks have been in strong up trends They've rallied nicely NVIDIA is one of the strongest stocks in the market Apple to that fell yesterday You saw pretty much most of the SMP fell yesterday when the market opened down and quite down a lot And we had a big sell-off yesterday and that creates panic panic for everybody that's in all of these big tech stocks long And people are up just you know think about it if you were long Apple if you were long NVIDIA if you were long any of these stocks you're taking profit So what's happening is people are worried they're worried about all this news that comes out literally almost every Two or three days about the tariffs. What's gonna happen next and I think Friday is gonna be the next day to watch this week Friday They're gonna be more information about what's really happening with the Chinese tariffs Are we gonna put more tariffs and restrictions on China? We'll know more by Friday and that could create another another big move in the market look Melissa This isn't just worries. There's a real there there, right? I mean the S&P 500 tech sector Gets more of its sales from overseas than any other sector. They are international companies absolutely So I mean what should tech investors be thinking right now? Do you stay or do you go? Do you sell these things or or should you stay stay stay in Pat? It depends on your time horizon if you're a long-term investor There's nothing to worry about here And I think overall the policies of the Trump administration what they're trying to do is make it more fair for US corporations to compete in the overall broader market and for these companies like in China to stop stealing our Technology and our trade secrets so the problem is that Trump is doing all of these things from the long run It will help companies but in the short term right now You've seen these market reactions of the volatility that's created a sellout But in the long run people should hold if you're in positions temporarily you may want to take some profits It depends your time horizon, right? And now we've got investors moving into what they think are safe harbor Let me tell you the yield curve flat as a pancake right now could portend bad news for the economy Melissa Thank you so much for coming in. Thanks for having me Well coming up who is ready for more soccer?
