 Update you on Wall Street right now, and it has been a good start to the trading session The Dow Jones industrial average right now up 491 points 30,795 the Nasdaq is up 133 S&P 500 is ahead by 56 Melissa Arma who is the founder of stocks who is joining us on the line right now Melissa great to have you back with us Good morning. Thanks for having me. Well It's been a kind of an interesting week to say the least Give us your read on all of this shorting activity and the impact that it's having Well there the market sold off yesterday, but it's recovering today. That's the overall market We didn't have some good earnings last night on Apple So that drives the market down the market is trying to recover today But one of the most talked about stocks in the last 48 hours is this game stop because many many active day traders are trading it and Justice morning Robin Hood, which is which is a firm where people play stream Now has is not allowing people to take active positions in that stock anymore and also interactive brokers Which is a large brokerage firm So it's very interesting to see what's going to happen going forward because they want to shut down all the Volatility that has happened this week in the game stop Let me switch to the GDP numbers which came out earlier today for the fourth quarter a little bit below projections 4.0 gain Give us your thoughts on that and what maybe the expectation should be here in Q1 moving forward I think it's gonna be problematic if you don't have large cities You know like New York for example, we're still basically shut down here if you don't have the commerce in these large cities I think it's going to be very difficult to have good GDP numbers for 2021 Large cities are hurting it doesn't even though people have moved out of suburbs and are working from home It doesn't work like that where it spreads that evenly as far as a GDP numbers go So I think that is problematic until you get large cities like the like LA like New York like Chicago back up and running and people back in Offices and actually working and spending money in these large cities. I think you're gonna continue to see GDP numbers that don't look so great You touched on Apple and their revenue numbers were we're through the roof But again, give the kind of give us an overview of Apple Just made brand new all-time highs this week. So Apple stuff is still very strong, even though the earnings were down Apple again, you know in this type of environment People are working from home and they're using their phones and they're using their iPads And they're still using the products and services, but they're not out and about as much in the Wi-Fi I think when you have an environment right now where people are out of work and they're hurting not everybody wants to spend $1,000 for a phone So, you know a lot of people use Apple but the products for Apple are still very very expensive As far as what I would do today with the stock would I buy it or what I sell it? I would leave it be if you're in the stock long you can let it ride. It's trying to come back this morning I wouldn't short Apple here even though it was down on the earnings because people love Apple long term This stock could hit up to 150 which is the next level It got up to 145 just a couple of days ago Like I said it made new highs and you can't forget the market even though we saw yesterday Even though we fell the market is still strong again That doesn't make a lot of sense to people with the number of people that are out of work But people can't put any money in a savings account and really earn any interest right now So wealthy people are investing in the market Well, these people are investing in long-term stocks and stocks that they see that they can have potential to grow And that's where they're putting the money right now So when you have a bullish market and you have a bull stock like Apple you don't want to short it And even though it's down today if you can write it out Um, you just write it out and see where it goes. Melissa. Thanks again for your time all the best Thanks. Thanks for having me. Thank you. Melissa Harmo founder of stock swoosh
